I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce a little project of mine I’m working on – schedulabl.es, a way to make time sharing simple.

The blurb:

You have something you want to share time on, perhaps a holiday home or a car.

You want to manage who has access to it and when.

Simple!

Using schedulabl.es you can create a time share, send it with your friends and manage bookings both at your desk and on the move using your smart phone.

Hopefully this will be of use to you!

I got bored one evening, so I hacked together the beginnings of an API library for latakoo Flight. Currently it’s available in three four tasty flavours – PHP, Python, Ruby and C# .NET / Mono.

The libraries are minimal but functional; they let you perform both anonymous and authenticated queries against the latakoo API endpoint, but I’ve only had time to add method wrappers for a few of api calls. Feel free to fork the project to help flesh these out!

Hopefully these libraries will make it easier to get the power of latakoo behind your project, and be sure to check out Latakoo to find out how to share video on the Internet.

Happy hacking!

Last night I went along as a +1 to Oxford Girl geek dinners, an event organised in order to encourage more women to get involved in technology.

It’s an informal gathering with some presentations and lots of opportunity for networking. Men are permitted, but only if accompanied by a girl geek.

From the central website:

The Girl Geek Dinners were founded on the 16th August 2005 as a result of one girl geek who got annoyed and frustrated about being one of the only females attending technical events. She was tired of being assumed to be marketing, tired of constantly having to prove herself and decided that she just wanted a change and to be treated just the same as any other geek out there, gender and age aside.

We started off at the White October offices with coffee and some presentations, before relocating to the Oxford Blue for some serious networking.

Good fun and both myself and Kelly thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, more please!
