This is interesting:

Contrary to the name, I think this one is going to be big. Really big. It raises the prosepect of development for tiny embedded devices with the same ease as we can write code for desktop PCs. I’ve started a special section on this framework over at my other blog.

I discovered MyHeritage a week ago when I heard about its celebrity facial recognition demo (you can see the result here). I had a further look at the soon to be released service, and realized how fantastic the possibility is of collaborating with family members with an online genealogy tool, so I sent an email asking if I could chat.
Gil Japhet is MyHeritage’s CEO, and as it turns out, is a fascinating fellow to talk to about technology, facial recognition, and genealogy. Given my mum is right into researching our family tree, I have a personal interest in what Gil is about to launch.
Gil talks about how their service will work, the technicalities of facial recognition, the problem with genealogy data, and Israel as an entrepreneur incubator.
Thanks Gil for spending the time to […]

Heather wrote to us about:

Went to the Dalby Forest today. The weather forecast was pretty horrible, it is a Bank Holiday and so we knew we were taking a gamble. But it paid off. Weather was great and it was very quiet when we arrived. We had a walk around the Bridestones. These are lumps of stone which for some reason or other haven’t eroded like the rest of the valley. So they stick up out of the ground in a rather impressive way.

By midday we confidently expected to be underneath a lot of rain, but as it turned out we weren’t. We even had a chance to walk around Staindale Lake.

Just came across this:

Visual Task Tips, ofwel hover met je muis over de actieve programma buttons op je taakbalk en er ‘popt een plaatje up’ met een afbeelding van het geminimaliseerde programma. Handig om snel te zien welke button bij welk programma hoort.

Thanks Tracy, for pointing out:

There is only one game that I will claim to be any good at. Oh, I can play tennis, and squash, and I have even been known to turn up to (as opposed to play) rugby and cricket. My game of choice is table tennis. I have been known to beat people at that game. And I really, and I mean really, enjoy playing it.
So the XBOX 360 Table Tennis game by Rockstar was of more than passing interest to me. Particularly as it only costs thirty quid. This means of course that I have bought a copy. And I have spent the last couple of hours playing it. It is very, very, very, very good. Have I mentioned it is good?
