Since 2010
I don’t know anything about sport, but I do know quite a bit about trying to deal with dates and times programatically. This video features the Stephensons - a wife and husband team who single-handedly created the major league baseball schedule for 25 years.
In the opening section they talk about the impossible requirements. It’s a beautiful reminder that computers aren’t always the answer, and even when they can do the impossible, you don’t end up with a human story.
Most email clients suck. If you use a Mac and you care about sending standards-compliant emails using a fast and robust native OS X-only application, then I urge you to look at MailMate. I’ve been using it for years, and it never misses a beat.
It’s a one-man-show, and the developer needs help in order to continue working on MailMate. Check out the crowd funding campaign page.
Oh. Okay then.
I took a wander around to the car park at the Aquatic Centre yesterday.
So there I was, minding my own business, when I started hearing loud popping sounds from outside. It was windy, so I figured something was blowing around outside.
Then I went to the other room and saw black smoke billowing from Sydney International Aquatic Centre. It turns out that a small bush fire started near some parked cars, and the way that unfolded is fairly self explanatory. The popping I was hearing was probably tyres exploding.
Sydney Morning Herald reports that about 40 cars have been destroyed, but nobody’s been injured. I’m not linking to them because they got the suburb wrong, and the suburb they did choose to write about was spelt incorrectly. (Sydney Olympic Park is officially now a suburb, and before that it was Homebush, not “Homebuish” as SMH would have us believe)
