It's been a long working weekend - after last weekend's trip to
Halifax,
Haworth and
Crich
there was a great deal to catch up on, and training on JBoss and LDAP, httpd and Tomcat precluded me from doing so during the week.
I expect you're wondering what the picture is? We often have to look at things from a different angle, and this was an angle I noticed in the
Tramway Workshop at Crich. I think there's a further lesson in the workshop, where you can see all sort of skills coming together in different enthusiasts - taking a tram that looks to be beyond hope and restoring it to pristine condition.
The week starts again in half an hour, just as the previous week seems to have finished. I'm off to Oxford to present Perl and Linux courses there. Back on line with another "Horse's Mouth", internet access willing!
