Joining Yahoo! | Comments (6)

Posted in Work on 12th July 2006, 2:00 am by Stuart

Today was my second day at Yahoo! having started there on monday as a web developer. I’ve joined the web development team where I will be spending plenty of time getting to know the YUI libraries. It’s great to be working in the same team as Christian and Norm, they both bring much amusement to each day.

With Foosball tables in the canteen I might be able to brush up my skills to be able to take on the mighty Mike Rundle at SXSW 2007 or at least be able to stay on the table longer than 5 seconds.

Congratulations are in order. Hope all goes well for you at Yahoo! Please let me know if I can interview you for my blog. We focus on webpage templates, but we like design, SEO, and web topics far afield as well. – Arthur Browning

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
