But now, the nabaztag bunny is back, and he's in the lab, waiting to be spoken to! Please be gentle, and dont go sending any rude messages! As everyone in the lab will hear it! Send ... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/494/comment/ Wed, 07 May 2008 12:47:24 +0100 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/493/Procrastination_in_an_useful_form/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/493/ Came across this site a little while ago, while procrastinating. Basically, Structured Procrastination is when you make yourself believe that you have a really important task to do, so that you get all the other tasks you need to do, done first. I will be testing it this week when writing an e... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/493/comment/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:16:43 +0100 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/492/Point_me_to_your_blog/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/492/ After having found Geffy's real blog today and I rediscovered Neil's blog the the other day, I realized that perhaps I've lost other people's blogs too. So, IF I KNOW YOU (note the IF clause), then I would really appreciate it if you let me know where your blog is! :)... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/492/comment/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:07:19 +0100 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/491/BibTex_for_Microsoft_Word/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/491/ I know what you might say - why are you using MS Word, when you could use LaTeX?!! (DS, TH, GG, AG, Etc.) Sometimes, well, you just cant be bothered, and need a wysiwyg editor, and also, you need an excuse to procrastinate (i.e. finding a way to get BibTex to work with MS Word). So, after (a l... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/491/comment/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:22:20 +0100 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/490/Google_Sky/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/490/ I came across Google Sky when playing around with Google Earth! I wonder whether this was in response to Microsofts World Wide Telescope? This is really cool though! I reckon the best thing for mass digital map access since Google Maps! I wonder what applications can be built using this techno... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/490/comment/ Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:30:59 +0100 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/489/First_paper_accepted/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/489/ I recently submitted a paper to Pervasive 2008 and I found out over the weekend that it has been accepted! :) This means that it will be my first ever published paper! The project is called Sensormash and I'll post the paper online when its all finished and camera ready! The conference is in ... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/489/comment/ Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:20:47 +0000 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/488/Quite_your_Jibber_Jabber___XMPP/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/488/ I've recently been procrastinating with a Jabber Server - or more precisely an instant messaging server that supports the XMPP IM protocol. I wanted to see how easy it would be to run a server, and to interface with it (using PHP). The server I used is the OpenFire server, which is surprisingly ... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/488/comment/ Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:19:52 +0000 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/487/how_to_use_htpasswd_to_create_protected_directories_XAMPP___apache/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/487/ I recently needed to protect some directories on my machine, on which I have XAMPP for windows (Apache, MySQL, PHP) installed. Incidentally there is also a portable version that will run from a memory stick, meaning you can set up a web server from any machine (running windows) by plugging in th... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/487/comment/ Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:44:02 +0000 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/blog/486/Studying_Business_is_boring____/ http://www.stabeler.com/blog/486/ I realise now why I didn't bother finishing my GNVQ Level 3 in business which I took after my GCSE's. It's because studying business is probably the most boring thing I can think of! I've been attending a short module at UCD entitled 'Introduction to Entrepreneurship', while its probably going to... http://www.stabeler.com/blog/486/comment/ Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:45:06 +0000 Matt Stabelers Blog http://www.stabeler.com/webcam/ http://www.stabeler.com/webcam/ Latest Webcam Image Webcam Wed, 05 Dec 2007 10:07:15 +0000 Matt Stabelers Blog
