I’ve been off the air for a week or two - I’ve been hard at work on the final stages of a project at work that will go live next week. I’ve been on this project for almost 6 months now, and next week I’ll get a well earned rest. What that means is I [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )The latest update of the SemWeb library from Josh Tauberer includes a C# implementation of the Euler reasoner. This reasoner is able to go beyond simplistic RDFS reasoning – being able to navigate the class and property relationships - to make use of rules. The ontology I’ve been using to get used to coding in [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )For the mathematician there is no Ignorabimus, and, in my opinion, not at all for natural science either. … The true reason why [no one] has succeeded in finding an unsolvable problem is, in my opinion, that there is no unsolvable problem. In contrast to the foolish Ignoramibus, our credo avers:
We must know,
We shall know.
It’s [...]
I spent most of my evening converting Jena to .NET. Needless to say it was only at the end of the evening that I discovered that Andy Seabourne (from my old home town of Bristol) had already worked out how to use IKVM to convert the jar files into assemblies. I’m not bothered though; I [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )I recently got this excellent comment from Jeff Grigg on my domain model debate article. I started to reply with a comment, but the reply got to the point where it became a bit of a blog post in its own right, so I thought it worth giving it first class status. Jeff wrote this:

Recently within Readify we’ve been discussing the results of some code reviews we’d done with some of our clients. One issue that came to light was the issues introduced by the excessive use of the singleton pattern. If you’re not familiar with patterns, it’s quite simple. Patterns are a kind of reusable design. The original [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 18 so far )I’ve been taking the new Visual Studio Preview for a spin, and it’s got some pretty nice new additions. These aren’t just the headline features that have been publicized elsewhere, but the thoughtful additions to usability that will make our lives a little bit easier. They should also help us to make our code a [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )It seems I touched a bit of a raw nerve with Alec when I pointed out that some IDEs are less crap than others. Specifically, I was referring to the ones that have major corporate clout invested in their production. He pointed out that they require standardisation of tools within a development team as well [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 3 so far )It seems that our little Anti-Agile spat generated a fair amount of traffic for both Alec and I. Alec’s excellent blog attracted a record number of visitors. Quite right too. Evidently Mitch’s comment about opinion being more of a draw than painstakingly researched and presented essays was right. Controversy drives up the ratings. I say [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 24 so far )Alec, a man of great perspicacity, and wisdom, has granted us another Agile pearl of wisdom. All of which is totally correct. There’s no doubt that if you are with The Complicators, then you can screw up a product no matter what method you follow.
Let’s just try a thought experiment though – Imagine you’d been [...]
