Exciting new blog from Mirko Boehm

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:26:40 +0000

I’ve just added a link to Mirko Boehm’s new blog, Creative Destruction & Me (see the sidebar). I haven’t yet discussed the new blog with Mirko in depth, but the About page promises that it will explore the ideas of open source transplanted into other realms (Open Everything) and contributors are invited. As well as […]

And, WordPress hackers, just in case you’re interested…

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:59:16 +0000

… here’s how I made the earlier slightly tricky change. Using this tutorial page I changed the front page of the site into a static page, which sat at “computerfloss.com/blog”. But I wanted the front page to be at the root of the domain, so I skipped over to this other tutorial page. This one […]

Planet FLOSS Rides Again

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:07:35 +0000

For much of that time, I was one of many bloggers syndicated on Planet FLOSS Research, a website that brought together a number of blogs all on the […]

Still talking about blogs, Paul Adams has re-appeared on the blogosphere! I knew he’d come back, and, like Kylie Minogue, he’s reinvented himself (right down to the tiny hotpants). Check him out on his new blog.

Ah, I've Been Expecting You…

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:32:27 +0000

Welcome to the new location for my blog. Until recently this blog was hosted by the University of Lincoln whilst I obtained my PhD. Now that it’s completed and I’ve moved on, I’ve moved it here. Coincidentally, we in the Software Engineering Working Group at the Free University of Berlin are in the process of […]

A Shout Out

Thu, 07 May 2009 13:59:04 +0000

I want to say how much I’ve been enjoying the work on Carlo Daffara’s blog about FLOSSMetrics, a blog which I have shamefully only recently become aware of (through the April 17, 2009 post, which acts as a very good summary of the work). That is all.

On the Veracity of Sources

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:48:31 +0000

When I want to learn about something in free/open source software more generally, there are a number of different types of sources to look towards, each one with their own advantages and considerations, and each with an intended audience. So knowing about all of these types of sources serves as a good indicator of where […]
