Feeling overwhelmed by the Guernsey 2020 election? Me too. So, I’ve created a Google Spreadsheet allowing you to rank who you’re going to vote for between 1 (yes) and 5 (no).

Here’s a link to the template, feel free to use it.

Step 1. Go through the options and fill in the ‘Chance for vote’ column with your view. 1 being yes, 5 being no. There are links to their YouTube videos and details on the Election 2020 website on each row.

Step 2. Check the Output sheet to see how many you’ve voted for in each rank.

If you find any problems with it, please send me an email.

I’ve decided to close discuss.gg after several years of running it. It had peaks and troughs over the years but more recently usage became minimal. Thanks everyone who used it!

For portfolio purposes, I’ve attached some screenshots below.

Today I tried something new and created a Firefox Theme based on the colours of Steam. It’s on the Mozilla Add-on website here. The entire process was relatively painless although I’m not sure Mozilla’s automated approval process was happy with the SVG so I switched to JPG.

The source code is here.

I have a bit of a soft spot for the Ruby programming language. Something about using it is enjoyable. I’ve mainly used Ruby in the past for websites via Ruby on Rails so I was pretty pleased to see the Ruby games framework DragonRuby get released recently. During my day to day work I do a lot of maths and charting but I’ve never written a chart from scratch before so here is my attempt at a line chart using DragonRuby.

The source code is here and the global temperature data came from here.

So far my impressions of the framework are good. It’s brand new so clearly isn’t feature complete and I’ve had a few problems but the developers are doing a great job of sorting things promptly.

I’ve recently release a new Android App to track intermittent fasting, which I’ve been doing in real life for a few months now. The app is mostly for my own use but figured I’d put it on the store in case it is of any interest to anyone else.

Lightweight intermittent fasting app that allows you to start a fast for a target period, get notified when the period is up and keeps a history of previous fasts.

Here are some screenshots from the app.
