A New Definition Of What It Means To Be A Grownup
“It’s our turn to decide what that means” really is a wonderful way of explaining to someone what it means to embrace that which you love but that most people see as frivolous. I have a new yard stick; Despite being an Internet celebrity, Chris Hadfield is just a man who has worked hard […]
Generating a C# Class from XML
After a two week hiatus from work and blogging, spent mostly at the ever excellent Reading Beer Festival, I’m back at work and doing something so simple I’ve utterly forgotten how to do it. As this blog started as a way for me to keep track of random things I learn over the years, it’s time to […]
Installing Atlassian Stash on a Headless Ubuntu Server
Today’s post relates to my experience installing Atlassian Stash on a headless Ubuntu box. My first attempt ended with me trying all sorts of nonsense which left the server messy as hell, including an accidental installation of Unity… The trickiest part for me was the installation of Java as the version available via the package […]

TaW: Week 10 – Moleskine Wallet
My wallet has taken a beating, is showing its age and my tablet is still away for repair so I’ve taken to carrying a notebook with me. About time I hacked my Moleskine really… It already had a pocket in the back so all I needed to add was slots for my cards. To that end […]
Subversion to TFS 2012 Migration: Conclusion
If you’ve been following this series of articles, I’ve been attempting to migrate from Subversion to TFS 2012 over the last six months or so and have given up on the idea. It seems as though we are using a non-standard repository pattern which means the odds are stacked against us. I’m not a newbie […]
Subversion to TFS 2012 Migration: Part 3 – Troubleshooting
We hit more problems, as per my last article that means another post! This post will detail the steps to troubleshoot a merge issue but the techniques I learned are good examples for generic troubleshooting of the TFS Integration Platform.
