Actually I think this is one of the best shots I've taken recently, although there is one better one taken a second or too later that doesn't even register on Flickr's "interesting" scale - of course that seems to be down to it not matching the criteria required to post it to various groups - interestingness seems to have something to do with the broadness of attention a photo gets, not just the number of hits.

9th Most intersting flickr photo
What makes this more interesting that the 10th? I dunno. I like this one better though so maybe they're on to something.
10th most interesting flickr picture
I don't understand it but Flickr considers this to be my 10th most intersting picture. More to follow.

Two to the five minus one
It was my birthday two days ago. At this age they tend to go with less of a bang. I think this pretty much sums it up:

Thank quantum theory (in the absence of God) then for my wonderful girlfriend who tried to make my day more interesting from 700 miles away by setting me this little puzzle:

... and in doing that proving herself once again to be a very inventive photographer :-)

Guten Morgen 2008
So... a new year.. the 30th new year of my life.
A big year for me. Firstly I am now just two months away from moving to Munich with my girlfriend Nicole and I'm both terrified and excited at the same time. I'm not worried about moving to Germany - strangely I just "know" that this will be OK - I'm worried about the future. I like working for my current employer, and I'd like to carry on working for them, but that may not be compatible with living in Munich in the long term. We will see...
Over the Christmas break I've been re-learning Java. It's been 8 years since I really spent any time looking at it. That's odd, because for a lot of the programming world java is the very air they breathe. For me it's just a language that my various employers have never needed me to use, so I haven't got any commercial experience with it. I am perhaps in the odd position of having far more Ruby, Python and Scheme experience than Java! Still I make it a rule to learn a language a year (at least), so Java it is (for the 2nd time!).
... I need Java for a work project, and I guess it will be useful in the job hunt that may await me - it's less boring than I'd imagined, but after years of Python, LISP and Scheme I find it very long winded. Oh well - maybe that's the price I pay for the vast library base Java provides.
Oh.. and I got an Olympus e410 over christmas... can't recommend it enough - the closest thing to a pocket DSLR in existance.. I love it already.
