Stopwatch Cosy

Saturday, May 5. 2007

Its the end of the netball season and I’ve been trying to think of a gift for my coach who has been fantastic this season. With my usual comic timing, I decided yesterday that a new stopwatch with a countdown feature would be a good present for a sports coach.

Its not very personal, though, is it? So I’ve made it a cosy:

And since I’m an engineer, I’ve also photographed the alternative setup which allows the cosy to be stored buttoned onto the string while the stopwatch is in use.

Happy end-of-season, Lynda, thanks for everything!

Andrew: As magicmonkey says, I ripped out all the extra bits and bobs to make these examples more readable. I think the point about using JSON as a transport is a very valid one t hough, many languages now have built-in support for working with JSON objects so this would be a valid choice. [...]

Presumably, there’s no escaping / filtering because it’s con centrating on the ReST side of the service, not on the many other best-practice sides of PHP. XML is still quite wide ly used, and it’s potentially a better choice than JSON when (eg) exposing APIs at the edge of your application (i [...]

Mark: I’m itching to try ubuntu on it but since the device i s so new I’m seeing people still having teething problems ge tting all the peripherals working – and I need this working for an event I’m going to next week so I’m holding my horses for now.

please fix the example – escape output!!! – cant say how man y time’s i’ve seen commercial code with bugs like that.. JSON is now more commonly used to do this stuff.. XML is us ed mainly for compatibility with REALLY OLD systems now.. ;)

Rory: I didn’t abstract the request object but it would be a nice separation to do so. Michael: I haven’t read that b ut I will, thanks for the link. Calling formulaic method na mes seems to a feature of most implementations I’ve seen so far. I haven’t looked at the Zend Framework stuff – t [...]

Michael: Hey there! Luckily I still have the usual selectio n of other devices at my disposal and this is just for stayi ng in touch when I’m out on the road. I haven’t had any maj or battles with it yet and it certainly weighs a lot less th an my work laptop!

I’ve recently acquired an EeePC 900 as a quick-fix to a term inally dead laptop. I’d have bought an Aspire One, but it wa sn’t out when I bought mine and I needed a new computer righ t away. Anyway, I can echo your frustrations with hardware i ssues and the default install of Linux not being all [...]
