A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Following on from conversations I had with various people last night, here's
my notes...

- Eclipse IDE current version is 3.6 (Helios) but Ubuntu 10.10 comes with
3.5 (Galileo) in repositories so this is what I use.
- I have found a (free) app for FixMyStreet on the Android market (to report
problems to local council directly from phone). I haven't tried it yet so
not sure how good the app is.
- Google unveiled Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb at a press conference today as
well as a web version of the Android Market http://market.android.com/
- Nokia rumoured to ditch MeeGo for Android at "change of strategy
announcement to investors on 11th Feb"
- Fortress programming language "A language designed for high-performance
computing (HPC) with high programmability for the scientific programming
community" http://projectfortress.sun.com/Projects/Community Fortress
project originated at Sun and is led by Guy Steele (author of the Lambda
Papers, that led to the design of Scheme; also involved with standards
committees of several programming languages, including C, Fortran, Common
Lisp and Java)
- Maths Mark-up Language (MathML): MathML 3.0 was released as a W3C
Recommendation on 21 October 2010 and its goal is to render mathematical
symbols on the web. Current browser support:
