What can I learn about F# in the time it takes to drink a coffee, eat some biscuits and listen to a few tracks on Spotify; let’s find out. This post was supposed to be entitled “Thirty Minutes With…F#” but I ended up getting far too engrossed and a couple of hours skipped by (followed […]
It only dawned on me today that, rather sneakily, I’ve hit my official quarter century in the ‘blog post’ count department. Thinking back to my original goals when starting this up it’s nowhere near where I planned to be (getting on for nearly a whole year after starting this little adventure); but I’m happy to […]
A brief titbit today, but one I felt was worth sharing and has come in handy for work/personal projects recently for me. I’ve had a couple of requirements to gracefully show/hide and adjust web page layouts based on screen sizes (and screen re-sizing). I came across the following solution which works pretty damn well.

In my day to day job we use JavaScript in anger (or at least have to deal with it) on a sporadic basis. We dive into T-SQL, C# (either for server side logic in web applications or for desktop applications) and other parts of web development (CSS and HTML) on a rapidly spinning merry-go-round of […]
Evening all, I thought this would be worth sharing, in its current form. It’s a small piece of SQL (this would be encapsulated in a Stored Procedure) that allows you to search through a host of objects encompassing Stored Procedures, Functions, Views, Triggers and even Indexes for a specific search term (i.e. an object name).

I’ve had a super quick tour of Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and I have to say I’m pretty impressed as it stands. I’m currently downloading Unity 5 and will be installing the latest toolkits shortly that go hand in hand with this. In the meantime, I’ve been looking at some of the new debugging […]
I’ve gone ahead, with guidance from my social media guru wife, and joined ‘the Twitter’ and ‘the Facebook’! You could probably find them with ‘the Google’ but to save you some leg work: Bear & Hammer Facebook Page Bear & Hammer Twitter Feed All followers/likers would be much appreciated. I’m off to browse ‘the Interwebs’. […]
