Recently I’ve been tinkering with an idea I call nodeploy, for which I needed a dynamic proxy server…. ie, one I could change the configuration of on the fly. I looked at HaProxy and nginx, both of which offer very limited or overly complex functionality that kind of did what I needed, but not really… […]
Finally got round to releasing my (very rough / early) raspberry pi interface for minecraft on gitbhub. It’s still in a pre-pre-pre-alpha state, it’s just the sourcecode (although it runs in the development environment fine) so feel free to do what you want with it. You can see what picraft is / what you can […]
As per this thread on reddit, here’s my script for importing products into magento via an excel file. Some of it, specifically the attributes and attribute sets are hardcoded in places, but other than that it should be generally applicable to most stores. It makes use of the PHPExcel library for loading the data from […]
For a while now I’ve been working on a mod for minecraft that allows the GPIO pins on a raspberry pi to be accessed from within minecraft. There’s a demo video below (you may be able to tell this is the first video I’ve ever made, be gentle!) but first some features…. Uses the rather […]

I recently (well, a few months ago) started working for online retail company prettylittlething.com. Since then I’ve been getting back into the Magento way of doing things (along with managing their IT infrastructure… but that’s a whole other set of posts) and decided I might as well publish some of the minor tips and bits […]

Oops…forgot to fix this before I released 2.0.1 right click behaviour is now fixed (no more having to left click then right click) Download from github
I was going to stop making updates to this software, since the game itself now does much of what I set out to do… however, after some feedback on the forum thread (which is here by the way) I decided to carry on adding features etc. So, I’ve added: Moving entities Deleting Entities Regenerating entity […]
Major update today… You’ll notice some functionality missing, but the important thing for this release is that the way I load / save data has been completely rewritten. I now use the same xml serialization libraries that the game itself uses…meaning that loading / saving is much, much quicker…and hopefully more stable. So, this version […]
