Introductions

I created this site with grand ideas. I planned to have sections dedicated to teaching and to Linux. I planned to post articles presenting my experience and insights into both fields.

"The best laid plans." What has actually happened is something quite different - this site has become a blog site. For now I am removing the specific sections of the site that are intended for single-interest content and all content will be presented through a couple of targeted blogs. However, the focus of the site is to remain true to the original plan: teaching and education, Linux and software development projects.

Job Adverts

I've been getting a steady flow of job adverts landing in my inbox for the past few months. Most of them are PHP/MySQL developer jobs offering tempting sums of money.

I must remember that MySQL sucks.

But I Don't Know

There is one absolute truth: not knowing is not a good excuse not to learn.

The Guardian

I am an irregular Guardian reader. I generally buy the paper on Saturdays. I like to catch up with world affairs at the weekend, plus Saturday's Guardian comes with an A5 supplement called The Guide, which gives me my TV listings for the coming week.

It also comes with a magazine called The Weekend for which a charming chap called Jon Ronson write a regular diary-type column. Usually it's filled with witty pith about modern life, but yesterday's was about a suicide under a train he was on. It occurs to me that under a train is a really inconsiderate way to hasten one's demise.

Just a thought.

Updates

I've just been reminded that I've let this site stagnate - very naughty of me. There are a couple of pages I need to add at some point - when I have the time.
