I installed MultiBit (a Bitcoin client) on my Debian Wheezy. I didn’t know much about Bitcoin so I thought that I’ll install and play around about with it. I installed Multibit using the “Linux/Unix Installer” (see the instructions). I ran MultiBit but it didn’t connect to the network. The bottom-left status message always said Connecting… […] When Twitter stopped serving RSS feeds, around May 2013 I think, I implemented a small and light Python Twitter-API to RSS proxy. It connects to Twitter using their API, reads the Tweets and generates RSS or Json. The Json output is similar to the output served by the Twitter API but if you use this […] On Saturday I went to the new Cambridge Centre for Computing History. Or just.. The Computer Museum. Hats off to this museum! If you are interested in computers you should really go to the Computing History museum in Cambridge and also to the The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley, which is convenient because Bletchley […] We are hiring for different positions at Mendeley (now part of Elsevier). In the team where I work we are hiring a C++/Qt software engineer (see other positions). The C++/Qt position is to further develop Mendeley Desktop, which works on Windows, Linux and Mac. See the official job description, but bear in mind that we […] At Mendeley we have one hackday a month. One day, every month, we can do whatever we want more or less related to our jobs, technologies, etc. Some months ago I thought that it could be interesting to teach Python to the non-programmers (business, HR, etc.). I wanted them to understand what we do all […] Short version: Sunday Assembly (congregation without God) is crowdfunding to build a better website / other activites. You can donate. In London I’ve been to different ceremonies: Catholic, Orthodox, Christian, Budhist, Protestant, etc. I like to see the churches/temples, how they conduct the ceremony, their traditions, how attendants behave, etc. In one of my visits […] I’ve been using my e-reader (Kobo Glo) for aproximately one year now.. I’m very happy with the purchase! I find it very convenient, I explained in the other post (in Catalan). There is one thing that I’ll miss if everybody uses e-readers. I really like to browse book shelves when I’m invited to someone’s house. […] There is the concept of User Pain. Useful concept which I’ve used at work. It’s not perfect, might need tweaking for each situation but works well. In a nutshell: given a software bug it is possible to quantify the pain caused by the bug to all the users based on the type of bug (crash, […] I’ve spent a couple of months migrating some code from OAuth1 to OAuth2. I helped to shape the OAuth2 services, the first API calls in the new platform, set up all the new infrastructure in the client side. Usually I like to have, as soon as possible, an end to end working case. It helps […] A few weeks ago I went to Copenhagen. Even though I’m not a beer fan I like visiting breweries and learning about their story. Usually they have contributed to the history of the region. I liked the Carlsberg museum more than the Guinness one, even though I enjoyed both. The Guinness brewery is more modern… […] |
