Announcing the Leeds Girl Geek Dinner

Tuesday, July 22. 2008

Once upon a time there was a girl geek called Sarah Blow, and she wanted to hang out with her girl friends and geek out at the same time (and who wouldn't?). So she founded the phenomenon of the Girl Geek Dinner in London. Well this great idea has spread and spread around the world and eventually to the North of England - first to Manchester (next event, this Friday 25th July!) and eventually to Leeds.

So I'm pleased to announce that, on Wednesday 13th August there will be the first Leeds Girl Geek Dinner!! Tickets are £10 and if you needed any further encouragement, I'm one of the speakers for the evening. If you're going, or have any questions, leave a comment below - and I'll see you there!

I think guys are allowed with an invite from a Girl Geek for the Manchester dinner although I’m pushing for a man-creche instead for the Leeds event :)

LornaJane about Version Parameters for Web Services

Gaetano: I quite like having the version in the URL but that depends a lot on what kind of service you designed as to what makes most sense. I like major.minor as a naming scheme but it is probably overkill as really APIs shouldn’t be changing a lot. Chris: Whether you support multiple ver [...]

@Gaetano My preference is put version in the URL. This gives you some flexibility on whether to completely branch off and have a new set of API code, or to simply pass the version in as a parameter. The only scary part about this is that there are now multiple versions of the same API tha [...]

Interesting post, but more detail would be welcome: – is it a good idea to put version nr. in url, so that new versions of the same webservice can be immediately located? – is using the classic major.minor.revision versioning scheme a good idea or is it overkill? – shall both clients and se [...]

Allan: Just remember that users are idiots! Of course users are not idiots but like most of us they may accidentally typo or input incorrect information – how we deal with those situations and help direct the user to the path we intended is really key. This is true for services and of course [...]

Guib: Start by making sure the whole wordpress directory is owned by the user your webserver runs as. Then make sure that user has write permissions to the main wordpress files and the plugins directory – and you should be good to go I think.

I consider your advice for making strategies for failure as most wise. I do consider though that this is the hardest thing to do when you are building something. It is almost like not wanting to allow yourself to think that something could or even will go wrong.

Thank you very much for that explanation. I just had this issue while moving one of my blog to another server. I will now need to know which directory permissions I must change to make it work.
