Tis a Yahoo run one here at http://openhacklondon.pbwor ks.com/

Basically it's where people get together and hack something over 2 days. It starts tomorrow morning and runs until Sunday afternoon. They provide food, beer and sleeping areas. Hooking up with ex colleagues who are doing something. I'm basically going to network if I can and attend some talks.

I'm probably with you on that one, handsy.

The odd weekend away is the best I can hope for realistically.

Possibility of a wedding in Portugal in September, but that might be more hass than it would be worth (all going well).

Even a decent night-out or two this summer would do me at this stage.

Tell me about your exploit Meller

[watermelon]

The hack was a remote/novelty controlled web browser. We had a mobile
phone app that did some image recognition on the phones camera and
based on the result instructed the browser on the other machine to
visit a url. We had a scooter with a Wiimote strapped to it that scrolled the page up/down when you rode it up/down a ramp (that was my bit) and a Lego robot that pressed the keyboard when you hit a bongo drum to make the
browser go back.

Must say, considering it was a hardcore geek fest, I really enjoyed it and it was great to program again.

Like a trojan? What was the browser?

[watermelon]

We controlled the browser (FF) using Selenium. Basically, we had several input devices that sent requests to our service and then controlled actions on the browser. The tough bit was (for me anyway) figuring out when a Wiimote was going up or down so I could send a scroll up or scroll down request. Totally useless but was lots of fun and got a big cheer. Some really smart stuff there including a band that mixed music on a Game Boy and an iPhone orchestra.

Ah right - so you didn't actually exploit FF? Selenium as a proxy provides all the hooks to control it? Is this true? Sounds really cool - have you got a demo somewhere?

The double posting is a PHP bug when using Safari that the admins wont bother their hole to fix.

Just a little widget that sits discreetly on your desktop allowing you to see who and what is posted. That way if you in work you dont have a big red page in front of you.

Yes it does. What's the point in being the 2000th person to invent the wheel Meller?

It's about setting a goal and learning some new stuff while I'm at it. I'd like to use some of the Yahoo libraries. Anyway, not meant for public consumption. How useful do you think a browser controlled by a Wii strapped to a scooter is?

No it's not. If I interviewed you, first thing I'd ask is what did you achieve / do while you were out of work. I'd be looking for certifications / training etc.

We never put merit on sun certified programmers in my last place. It meant squat. Being certified and actually doing it means fuck all. We laughed a few guys out of interviews and they were mostly certified. I'm not saying they don't have merit on a CV but experience is what counts.

In my line of work, using your spare time to keep up to date with open source libraries and new technologies has a lot of merit. Spare time on open source development counts as training. This is why I'm trying to think of a project.

I agree these tests are pretty rubbish, but non-technical Managers, clients, and most importantly agents take a lot of assurance from these type of certifications Meller - I won't say any more on the matter (but I'm right).

This is why I'm trying to think of a project.

if i had time i'd do a bb / iphone app like urbanspoon but where it uses your ratings to match you up with other people and recommend new places based on your tastes - like amazon - simple idea but i don't see it anywhere out there

you can borrow my idea for $1,000,000

[hands]

Good idea. Theres money to be made in the dating Market.... I'd probably write a facebook type app called jigglebook.com...it' d be useful for vincer

[king of the BONGO]

Good idea.

i'm being selfish cos i travel so much. when i'm out in buttfuck, alabama i can look at urbanspoon and see what the local hicks recommend but it's hard to find something i'll actually like

do it melons... for my sake

Another killer app I'm thinking of is knobrotboom.com, an easy way to k

Hmmm it would need people though to interact and actually make ratings for it to work. More details would be most welcome. Something that rates women in bars is it? Hmmmm <thinking-hat>

yes - people like to rate things, it makes them feel important. e.g. tripadvisor - people mouthing off in there all the time and what do they get in return? nada. you offered personalised recommendations and sleep at night on a pile of $$$$ surrounded by beautiful ladies.

Is it true about you falling out of the Grand Canyon Vince?

of course

[Vincent Murphy]

I'm probably with you on that one, handsy.

The odd weekend away is the best I can hope for realistically.

Possibility of a wedding in Portugal in September, but that might be more hass than it would be worth (all going well).

Even a decent night-out or two this summer would do me at this stage.

He was also in both the same national and secondary school as me.

Be great for weekends.
You could go all out Ned Flanders stylee.
Just big difference between CD and camper van.

We have rather different taste in music Hands my dear.

I've been loving René Breitbarths (deep) mix on RA and also Motor City Drum Ensemble (chicago/detroit) one. Can't recommend a mixed one. I don't even have any of the Fabric ones. I'm rubbish.

You could try using Spotify to get some ideas.

I have a pair of classic aviators and a pair of Guess glasses that I never wear as they are rectangular and quite small and I prefer bigger sunnies now.




I strongly advise against wearing cheap sunglasses. Seriously. They damage your eyes and you'd be a lot better off wearing none. By wearing them you open your eyes a little wider and blink less as they form a shield. The cheap ones offer no protection via the lens and you actually do damage. I've had medical advice on this.


Just go out and spend 40/50 quid on a good pair. Or wear none and squint.

[watermelon]

I prefer glasses that wrap around the area of the eye that is prone to crows feet. Important to cover that bit too. And I agree with Finner - no to cheap sunnies.

but as long as they're polarised and have a sticker on the lens saying they are UV protected they're ok aren't they?

Also it's occurred to me that you should try Bodytonic as they love to talk music and have lots of mixes.

I know HM put a little sticker on them but to be perfectly honest I wouldn't trust that for a second. For 4 quid you're just getting a piece of plastic.

I deffo wouldn't wear cheapy sunglasses. Better off without.

These days you get 12 CVs going for a role, 18 months ago it was more like 3 or 4... the agent that can get you the fastest interview is the one you choose.... You need to interview the agent also.

Yeah.

Feck allegiance, I took the guy that the company have approved as their agents.

Having worked for a financial recruitment agency for a few years, I would recommend having zero loyalty to any agent or agency.
They would step over their own mother for a placement and commission.
