Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
I can’t think of one right now
Still the prettiest Well. Uneventful day at work, interesting stuff at lunchtime tho, had a lunch seminar (ie everyone gets dragged into a meeting for lunch, where no lunch is served so we all skive off between 1-2 to eat) on Eclipse and how to use it. It looks absoulutely amazing, I was very impressed...ok, some of the funkier bits were stuff we’d paid for, such as an UML modeller built in to the IDE that lets you edit code from within your class diagrams (dead funky!) and a really cool JSP plugin that looks to offer the same kinda functionality as Visual InterDev does for ASP...seriously rocks. I am having thoughts, way too many of them, of seeing if I can port the site to Java and use eclipse to rewrite all the bits that need it - porting to Java from JScript won’t be that hard anyways, we may run on ASP but not VBScript which is icky.
Anyway. As you’ve all fallen asleep by now...
Erm. That was about it. My first bit of work goes live soon, the Holidays Homepage, which looks dead pwetty.
Long chat to Mum tonight, Owen still has one of Andy’s vacuum cleaners and Andy was moaning about wanting to watch Liverpool on Saturday and Mum was moaning because she wants to see me for the day, and obviously I have no telly coz that’d be far too clever...so I’m taking them to Owen’s for 5pm, we’re abandoning Andy in front of the telly and me an Mum are going shopping. Or something
Result!
Going to try and take them round Greenwich too, as it’s pretty an stuff...so should be a pretty chilled out weekend.
Been reading Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything” - after a slightly shaky start it’s really quite interesting. It should probably be called “A Short History of the People Who Discovered Nearly Everything” but it’s cool, learned a few new things to forget, and have decided that scientists in the 18-1900s were even more cliquey than the average gay scene. Marvellous
