Notes and Jottings

Ski
reports
for Livigno… less than two days
before our trip!!!

Chris helped find some photos
of me, from my trip to FOSDEM in
Belgium last month. The photos can be seen here
at Miguel’s talk about Mono and here
at the Mozilla talks. Chris thinks I look rather serious…

I’ve been looking at the coolest new features in Java 1.4 - as described
here. The one that really made me go “ooooh” was the LinkedHashMap
class, which sounds really handy. I don’t know yet if it’ll be handy, but
it sounds like a good swiss army knife when you can’t choose between a Map
and a List…

Yet another abortion referendum today. Surprisingly, Kuro5hin had an
article and discussion about it… it’s an issue that I think hasn’t been
satisfactorily resolved anywhere in the world, so there is some interest
in it from overseas.

Niall has a copy of all the stuff the government have released, here on his
site. Good, if lengthy, reading. Of course I have no time left to read them
all in comfort, polls close at 9, so I have to head home and get my polling
card etc…

Okay! The diary/blog/notepad thingy is back working again! So I can announce that Skitrip 2002 is happening just this Saturday! Wow, so so so close, that’s like just a bit over two days away. And Sunday morning, bright and early, we’ll all be on the slope of Doss 18, waiting to learn how to ski a little bit better again…

Right. Now to get this working again…
