I'm not musical ... but this song keeps jigging around in my head.

"I'm back in the saddle again.
Out where a friend is a friend,
where the longhorn cattle feed
on the lowly gypsum weed.
Back in the saddle again."

First course of the New Year ... done, run and I love it!


Lining up the systems to check 'em out - a variety of Suse and Fedora Linux, and Windows in this case


A diagram - how PHP4 and PHP5 differ when you copy a variable that contains an object; PHP4 really clones - i.e. duplicates - the object, whereas PHP5 gives the same object an alternative name.


What's it really about - the customer. Snap taken during an exercise. And a great group ... including Adrian who, it turns out, I taught a totally different subject some 10 years ago.


In the evening, a chance to stretch my legs and take in some of the sights and scenes of where I am - in this case, Russell Square, London.


And by a great stroke of luck, It was the London Ruby User Group's meeting that night ... a pub quiz at the Old Crown on New Oxford Street.

It's great to be back in the saddle again.
