All of my spare time has been taken up with the Google App Engine project I mentioned before. As with all tech these days, the platform is a moving target. With the initial release of GAE only supporting Python I dived straight in to learning Python and the Django framework. Then they release Java as [...]

It took longer than I hoped (if you need to replace your central heating pump and mid-position valve I am now the man ), but I will be able to release the new version this weekend. It will now be at V0.2 and the auto-updater should handle the upgrade once I have uploaded the new [...]

Finally there has been an update at the Adobe Labs site. I’ve taken an interest in AIR for developing applications as Flex is a very productive language for creating good looking UIs. I was getting a little disheartened as there had been no updates since June and Microsoft have started in with their competing Silverlight. [...]
