A two day gap - first time in five years?

A very busy few days (if you wonder why it's the first time in five years that I have gone two days without posting here!). Friday was last minute preparations for a very important rail meeting in Swindon - senior level, lots of important players. That's yet to be written up and I've got to report back to various folks who I was representing before I can say much here.

Saturday and Sunday was a two day 'hobby' course - taking PHP and presenting it for the leisure / hobby market. I took a customer's example code, and reformed it over the two days from functioning but buggy, repetitive and hard to maintain and showed how it could be structured into a neater, cleaner, piece of code that was easy to enhance. Then I added a short messaging / chat and news and update element to the code, taking advantage of the ease with which it can now be enhanced to do something very spectacular, very quickly. Unfortunately, I can't share the code with you as the example even at the end contains some customer elements, and I wasn't able to obtain permission to publish it here.

Tomorrow, I'm sure I will post, even though I'll be on the road all day. Watch this space to see where I end up.
