Is it just the first flush of enthusiasm that has me writing on a Sunday?
Probably not! Although I was never a diarist in the days BC (Before Computers), I've felt comfortable sitting down and typing thoughts - well - for the last xx years, and I don't see why I won't carry on doing so for another xx years. The tools, the way of doing it changes and the audience ability of what I write might, but I don't foresee myself stopping, just like I don't foresee myself stopping working - maybe ease off a bit in future years but it's my hobby, too.
13:00, Sunday. One training module (Technology overview, CVS, SOAP and Cocoon - what an odd combination) completed this morning. Visitors due in an hour for assistance in recovery of data from a hard drive, also social. 12 machines to be prepped for the coming 3 day course - Java Deployment, tailored, in Oxford.
No - I don't see the flush of enthusiasm fading. I do see that there will be times when I don't post for a few days - during on site courses, for example, and I think I'll have better things to do when I'm
GeekCruising in October. But then ... I expect I'll come back with a lot of interesting material.
