Going to Africa Source II
22 Dec
I heard back from the great guys at Tactical Technology Collective that my application to Africa Source II had been accepted. That means I'll be in Uganda from the 6th to 16th January (and that I'm having trouble containing my excitement). Am now waiting for my visa to be processed - ominously the Ugandan High Commission was closed today when my application arrived.
Beta 3 out
16 Dec
After way too many Windows-related nigglies, KnowledgeTree beta 3 is out. Grab a copy if you don't want my PHP and Windows sacrifices to be in vain. I'm increasingly wondering how people get some sorts of things done in PHP, especially when running with Windows. Python provides relatively seemless cross-platform support.

And that command shell refuses to run escaped commands directly, forcing me to use Windows-specific hacks. Ug.

02 Dec
