Yesterday was A Good Day. Everything clicked – I got a lot of good work done, wrote some new functionality for borrowadvd.com, exercised (swam), stuck to my Herbalife program, studied another couple of objectives for the Java certification and spent some time with Cath. Now I just need to be that productive every day of [...]
So what’s been happening here? The Java Certification study is coming along nicely – I’ve actually cemented some good stuff that I’ve been a little vague on but never had the real need to nail down. I’ve got more work than I know what to do with and I’ve started coding http://www.borrowadvd.com. We spent yesterday [...]
Started studying for the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam this week. I figure it’s something that will help me in the short term and is a good practice/warmup study for the degree stuff starting in September.

Time to fix that. Start with a small frying pan (heavy-bottomed if you have one). Fill it with water to about [...]
Cath and I took our friend Karyn to see “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” last night at The Other cinema in Piccadilly. It’s a semi-documentary about the history of The Funk Brothers – the largely unknown band behind some of the biggest names in music history including Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder etc. If [...]
Mood: exhausted. A very long week with management changes, politics and lots of bug fixing. Still going at 20:15 on friday night. I am a sad git. Uni start is getting closer – wondering if I can fit in the Sun Java certification before then. Will see how the workload is.
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Interrupting Cow. Interr… Moo.
OK, try and make sense of this. I’m part of a Moon colony – setting up a brave new world in a pressurised bubble 239,000 miles from Earth. My job is the defence of the colony (from what, I’m not sure) and I’m assisted by a NASA logistics whiz who runs ammunition back and forth [...]
