Sometimes, I wonder where my time goes in the morning! I'm writing today's entry just after 9 ... awaiting delegates for this week's Linux course, and I think to myself so what have Lisa and I DONE with the past four hours. It seems to have just trickled away ... and yet.
* I've taken a complete backup (including databases) of www.wellho.net
* I've met with a plumber to discuss the mains connection at Well House Manor
* Lisa has confirmed a private Apache/Tomcat course for 6 persons
* I have provided email advise on image upload in response to an email enquiry
* Lisa has confirmed availability of a place (provisional booking) for 2 public PHP courses
* I have confirmed availability of 4 other places for a delegate who's going to be learning MySQL and PHP with us
* Lisa has finalised plans to have our own central heating boiler replaced
* I have been working on a new look Wiki for a contract customer and for a new site we'll be launching soon too
* Lisa has edited the three custom manuals I need for this week, printed them, bound them and made up delegate pack.
* We have both tidied up the customer areas in our training centre
* I have worked on a press release relating to the "Save the Train Campaign"
* I have arranged to go to Bristol this evening to say "bye" to Harry and Nellie who return to South Africa in a couple of days
Oh - and I wished Lisa a "happy anniversary" We both nearly overlooked that one!
Typical Monday Morning in Melksham.
Customers just arriving ... I best go / give a course!
