More on Claude: A win and three losses

August 03, 2025

25 minutes vs 1 hour 15 minutes. That’s how dramatically Claude outperformed me when debugging a stubborn server configuration issue - the kind of problem that makes you question your career choices. I’ve continued experimenting with Claude since using it to revamp this website, pushing it beyond its obvious strengths in web tech. The pattern that’s emerging is clear: Claude shines in a narrow sweet spot but fails spectacularly outside it. Most experiments generated impressive-looking responses that crumbled under scrutiny, but occasionally I hit the nut-flush of AI use cases.

I used Claude to redesign my website: the code is average but maybe that's okay.

July 29, 2025

Three days ago, I decided to completely overhaul my personal website. Not because it was broken but because it was stale and I needed to update it for the next step of my career. I used Claude Code, expecting it to be quite good at this - after all, it’s been trained on web tech code and this is a static site. My expectations were met and in one aspect exceeded. This is the story of that experience, written also while using Claude.

Yet Another Dunk on GraphQL

August 15, 2022

For 18 months my colleague and I, in a small startup, attempted to use GraphQL to build a highly realtime, cloud-native virtual conferencing platform. We succeeded but we paid a big price for our choice of API design and middleware. In this post, I’ll explain my opinions on GraphQL and associated technologies, and what choices I’m making at the new startup I’ve joined.

Pocket logo A nice little discovery today thanks mostly to this article. Pocket is a very handy free service that allows you to save web pages (mostly articles but videos and images too) for later reading. Not just reading though, which is one of the two cool features I’ll point out later. It has apps for desktop, Android, iOS and even things like Chrome Extensions. I have downloaded and installed the Chrome extension, Chrome App and app for Android (4.2.1). There are two main wonderful things about this app.

Data Centre Landscape: Part 1 - Understanding Applications and Services

August 04, 2025

Much is being written about data centres these days. Yet with the shrouding of AI over everything has come a fog of information about the design, use and future of data centres. In this series, I briefly introduce data centres and provide the background to understand their future. This first part explores the diverse applications and services that drive data centre design.

TypeScript UI : Data Binding

August 07, 2013

I recently announced that I am developing Data Binding for TypeScript UI (to be included in version 1.0.2). This article will give some more detail about why this is a good idea and how I plan to implement Data Binding into TypeScript. Data Binding, for those who don’t know and for clarification, is a method of linking data in a source (typically a web server) to a UI control that the user sees. Data Binding involves a number of steps which can be thought of in this structure: Access Adaptation Binding Update

I’ve modified the TypeScript compiler to add a –documentation option that auto-generates/compiles Wiki documentation files from the source code/JSDoc.

TypeScript Documentation Generation - Fork & Pull Request

August 10, 2013

Recently I have been developing my TypeScript UI project, which is hosted on CodePlex. CodePlex comes with a reasonable Documentation Wiki tab and so I have been trying to build documentation for all my classes, interfaces etc. both inline (i.e. in the code) and on the project site. However, manually converting JSDoc to Wiki Docs is slow, laborious and very hard to keep up-to-date. To add to this, my sister has agreed to translate much of the online documentation into German. This presents me with the issue of how to automate documentation generation so I can get on with coding, and how to guide her on what does and doesn’t need translating.

Sharing Mouse, Keyboard and Clipboard

January 10, 2013

So you’ve got a computer and a phone - right? Just like most people…but what most people don’t realise is that you aren’t limited to just using one at a time. We’ve all probably heard of dual-screen (one computer, 2 screens, double the area to work on) but until recently, I hadn’t heard of mouse/keyboard/clipboard sharing (nicely shortened to ShareKM). ShareKM allows you to share your computer’s keyboard, mouse and clipboard with your Android phone. It’s very simple, very easy to set up (well, with some caveats) and above all, allows you to utilise the power of all your devices at once! I’ll deal first with sharing from an Android (Galaxy S2, but any Android phone would do) to a Windows 7 PC.

…Typescript TypeScript has to be one of the best new technologies that I am using this new year. After being offline for 7 days with my old Linux Laptop and just the latest Chrome browser, gEdit and the TypeScript compiler, I wrote over 5000 lines of code, testing it in just that one browser. With TypeScript picking up all my silly syntax errors and Chrome finishing off all the function/programmatic errors, the JavaScript that TypeScript helped me produce was next to flawless. I got home, tested it in all the major browsers (and some minor ones) and all I got, was one error in IE8 - even that barely counted as an error…
