Nearly there!

Update: A beta version is now up at aegis.aeracode.org - it has BUGS, like bad label placement (and inverted labels on some Acrobat installs), as well as rendering VERY SLOWLY while I try new optimisations. Bear with me, please.

The Perils Of Success

LastGraph will be down for a few days while I sort out somewhere better for it to run. It's been using this servers' resources massively, and there's about 35GB of data now (over a gig of which is raw XML). The other sites on the server are suffering from the load, and we're down to Not Very Much diskspace.

LastGraph is feeling slightly overworked…

The download queue is back in the hundreds for the first time since the initial launch, and to make things worse the poor Last.fm API server is being a bit unreliable again today.

Fun with Linux and A2DP

My headphones broke last Tuesday, and so I naturally went to buy some more. However, my eye caught this post, and since I actually had some spare cash just begging to be used, I decided to go ahead and buy some Jabra BT620s headphones.

Brighton Barcamp Slides

The slides from my talk at Barcamp Brighton 2007 are at aeracode.org/files/lastgraph.pdf; for some reason slide 4's PDF weighed in at 9MB, so I apologise for the large download size (I am suspicious that Inkscape rendered the raster image in that slide to a pdf pixel-by-pixel).

Using Inkscape for presentations

As good as OpenOffice is getting these days, I have a personal issue with Impress (and, indeed, presentation software in general, such as the ever-popular Powerpoint).
