I took a walk last night in the countryside behind our house - the public footpath off he lane that runs between is as 404 and our neighbour at 404B. And here in the fields, the cows are grazing on Woollamore farm.
Over the hedges, the houses of Melksham Spa look our over the countryside of t ....
PHP is a web language. Yes. And No. You can use it "standalone" too, and we often do so; to develop a whole lot of functions for web use in PHP, then duplicates in some other language, would be frankly silly after all.
And so it is that during the current course, I've been running rather more d ....
Last Saturday's Party in the Park was a chance to meet old friends and new - the day when everyone who is anyone (and anyone who is not everyone) comes out to the park to the party, or to the town's streets to see the carnival.
This year, I helped with a stand at Party in the Park and got a few mi ....
Please look at the above for at least 2 minutes as it probably won't appear again in this paper for six months So says the last line on the bottom of an old advert displayed on the wall of the Village Shop in Buscot, Oxfordshire, where Lisa, Dad and I had afternoon tea yesterday.

As you can see, the weather smiled on us and I couldn't resist snapping this p ....
If someone says "Apache" to me, that's a warning - a warning to listen very carefully to what they're saying and evaluate what they mean; the term has changed - been used (and abused) over the years and it would be so easy to talk to someone, or train someone, on the wrong product.

If you're wondering at the absence of any entry here yesterday ... it's because I had a BUSY day as on-the-day event administrator for a group of about 18 folks who took over Well House Manor for their own training course. The group as a whole met in our larger room - "The Wilts" - which can seat u ....
I don't enjoy leaving a message on an answerphone - the lack of feedback as I talk makes me nervous, and I'm never too sure that my message will have been received, so I often prefer to leave things and call back later, or try another supplier if this is my first contact.

This year - 2007 - we'll be celebrating Geekmas on 24th and 25th November - so that's a date for your diary. It's a weekend technical get together for old friends and new, to explore the latest in Perl, Python and PHP, to listen to others talk of their uses and (ab)uses of these technologies and o ....
