.. I just saw my lecturer on TV. He was in a brief clip on “The Peoples Quiz” on BBC 1.
Then I decided to have a little Google around, found that he is on Wikipedia. Then found out he is actually some kind of UK Quiz star! Then it clicks, that is why he is setting up the University Challenge team at my Uni. All this from a Brookes lecturer? Makes you wonder what the others get up to… anyways…
Nice one Ian!

Here is how to compile (preconfigured) mac/carbon build source (all done in terminal):
cd ~/wx/wxwidgets/build-mac-release/ && make
Here is how to compile (preconfigured) mac/carbon Widgets Demo (all done in terminal):
cd ~/wx/wxwidgets/build-mac-release/samples/widgets && make
You can then go into the build-mac-release/samples/widgets directory using Finder, double click on widgets (or widgets.app) to load up the wxMac widgets demo implementation.
Here is how to compile (preconfigured) cocoa build (all done in terminal):
cd ~/wx/wxwidgets/build-cocoa-release/ && make

Feel free to ask any questions on here.
So I finally got around to look at my exams….
… I have two subjects, and they are both on the same day grrrr! and its the last day of exams 18th May 2007.
Would be quite nice to get a job after all this hard work.

I feel that I should probably learn TeX, as I am (hopefully) going to be writing more and more articles in the future then it is probably quite necessary as I have noticed that a lot of journals and computing books are written/type-setted using TeX or LaTeX.
I think the best thing for me to do would probably to find a TeX template, and then play with the formatting/structure a bit. Anyone know any good basic TeX templates for me to use?
Thanks,
Daniel

I have seen two fantastic movies recently:
Last week (or was it the week before) I bought Pan’s Labyrinth on DVD, its a fantastic Spanish film. Very Gothic and great drama.
Yesterday (for Bekis and My month-iversary) we went to the Cinema to see Hot Fuzz. A fantastic English comedy starring South-English Simon Pegg and Nick Frost… it has Shaun of the Dead referenced in it … and also stars Bill Nighy.
Two fantastic films that I suggest for everyone (over 15 — both are UK 15) to watch!
Ciao for now.
Daniel

This post is a bit of an update of this one
The Ruby can stay the same:
search_engines = %w[Google Yahoo MSN].map do |engine| "https://www." + engine.downcase + ".com"
end
But we can refine the Haskell even further than I originally posted, by saying the following:
search_engines = map (\engine -> "https://www." ++ downcase engine ++ ".com") ["Google","Yahoo","MSN"] where downcase = map toLower
The above uses a lambda expression (\) to state that engine comes in later… its quite hard to explain lambda expressions unless you have done functional programming. Basically you can state that a function takes in something without actually saying that it takes in something. Graham Huttons book and Simon Thompsons books are good references to check it out for Lambda Calculus. In both the Ruby and Haskell implementations we are using lambda expressions, in this example engine is our term (key).
(Thanks to Ian Bayley for providing me with some hints about this)
(p.s. in the Haskell implementation, toLower is a character function… which if you are using some newer versions of Hugs you will need to add “import Char” to the top of your hs/lhs program if you want to use it)

I have completed my project, got the final report all nicely bound, my poster printed off. Its all done.
I have put some information on the Vanir Systems website, available here: https://www.vanirsystems.com/balder/
Don’t be afraid to get in contact if you would like to know more information about it.
(I would like to make Balder public, unfortunately it requires a lot of server installations which you can’t find on the average hosting package)
Thanks,
Daniel

That is all, Thankies.
