I was discussing matters of a, shall we say, geeky and nerdy nature, on Facebook recently and a friend, who shall remain nameless, commented
You’re a manager, you’re not supposed to be a techie
It’s indeed true that these days I do the whole manager thing, but before I was a manager I was a techie who used to earn a living writing code. I still enjoy writing code occasionally and as I wrote in a recent post
I’m not suggesting for one moment that if the current geo day job falls through I can happily pick up a replacement role coding JavaScript, or coding anything for that matter, but it’s oddly reassuring that I still have the vague ability to continue the profession of coding software that earnt me a living for almost 25 years
With this in mind, here’s the corner of vicchi.org where the code lives.
Mapstraction
A fork of the JavaScript mapping abstraction library which adds support for Nokia’s Ovi Maps API.
Maps API Demos
The code which runs maps.vicchi.org, a demo site for Nokia’s Ovi Maps API and the port of this API to the Mapstraction library.
WP Biographia
A WordPress plugin to add and display a customizable author biography for individual posts, in RSS feeds, on pages, in archives and on each entry on the landing page. For full information and download, visit the plugin’s homepage.
