I love the zoomed-in satellite photo with the ski tracks across the island! 👏

Hi Tony. It's great to hear that you've found this script that Chris wrote useful. I'd forgotten all about it - so this was a good reminder to re-install it. Thanks for explaining how you got it working!

I think it depends whether you can get access to the *original* QR code (or the equivalent secret key). If you can, then that should work. If you can't then you might need to generate a *new* QR code and use that for all users. If you want to be able to use it later, you can capture a screenshot of the QR code or make a note of the equivalent secret key. I hope that helps.

Interesting. I haven't come across Standuply before. I understand why that's useful when you're all remote, but it doesn't sound as fun as meeting in the pub ;-)

Re: Project Credit Union - Day 1

Thanks for all the links.

We learnt a lot, but ultimately decided against actually starting the application process for a credit union. Essentially as a very small business, we couldn't justify the amount of time and effort we expected the opaque application process to take. You can read more about where we got to in this article [1].

We chatted to Josh in the summer of 2015 and attended a discovery workshop on "ethical banking from the future", but we haven't kept up-to-date with what he's been up to.

Thanks. We chatted to Jamie Burke back in the summer of 2014, but we haven't really kept up-to-date with where they've got to. Reading their website, it sounds as if their proof-of-concept is using https://uphold.com/.

Thanks. Sorry for the slow response - I've been away on holiday. I haven't looked at Codeq - it sounds interesting - I'll check it out.

Thanks, Brandon.

You mention that tests can be faster by using minitest mocks instead of mocha. Can you point me at any further information about that?

Yes, I've been following it's progress. As far as I understand it, they've defined their own generic API for accessing bank data and they have developed a reference ("sandbox") service implementing this API. They have then had a series of hack days where people have built apps based on their API and its reference implementation. However, it doesn't look as if any bank has actually implemented their API. Personally I'm not convinced that any of the high-street banks will ever do this. Have I missed something?

@Barry McGee Thanks for the encouragement! We did hit a bit of a motivational dip, so it's helpful to hear that others are interested in what we're doing.

@Barry McGee I didn't want to disable JS, because I didn't want to reload the page and lose all the other data I had typed in. Also I suspected some of the rest of the form relied on JS to work *at all*.

Everyone: thanks for the encouragement

@Barry McGee: thanks for the link to that programme

@timcowlishaw: thanks for pointing us at Brett Scott's work - we'll look into it

We haven't felt any pain so far, but we're very conscious that a lot of valuable company data is tied up in Trello (e.g. the reasons why we took a particular decision) and we don't want to lose it.

Re: Building a Git repository of Ruby method definitions

floehopper — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:21:59 -0000

While I was just playing around with the code, I didn't want to mess with a "real" repo, so it was quite handy to use a completely separate one. But thanks for the idea - I think it's a good suggestion.

Re: Tracing the Git history of a Ruby method

It depends what do you mean when you say "re-opened". If you mean that the same method is defined in multiple places within the *same* commit, the current behaviour is to (arbitrarily) choose the first definition. If you mean that the same method is defined in commit #1, but not defined in commit #2, and defined *again* in commit #3, then the current default behaviour is to stop at commit #2. You can override this behaviour using the `--stop-at-latest-introduction-of-method` command line switch. I hope that helps.

Re: Avoiding VAT issues with FreeAgent Sanity Check

@thattommyhall That's a good point, although we haven't been able to use it, because we've always been above the turnover threshold.

Hi Martin. Thanks for your interest. What do you mean by "release"? The source code is already available here [1]. Would you be happy running the code yourself? If not, would you be interested if we provided it as some kind of hosted service? Cheers, James.

Re: Code Guide - Interactive Example Code

floehopper — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:19:13 -0000

I think you're right. I like the way with CodeGuide you can put the explanation steps in a different order to the code, which you couldn't do with Pycco.

Re: Code Guide - Interactive Example Code

floehopper — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 06:52:53 -0000

I'm not sure it offers everything you need, but have you considered using Docco [1] or more specifically Pycco [2]?

Thanks for the suggestion. Our latest idea is to go for a country walk and a pub lunch, but we still haven't made a final decision.

Thanks, Aideen. Maybe we should wire Printer up so it automatically prints out a webcam mugshot at the local police station :-)
