I went to Canterbury at the weekend. Had a bloody great time. Got lots of the usual drunken pictures with random people if anyone's interested. Some of them are pretty cool. Well, I think so anyway... Anyway, you can have a look here.

Palm Pilot sounds smart.

Yeppers - I've got a palm pilot (haven't really worked out why yet tho..) Not quite sure what that's got to do with lactating women tho.
Graf <graf@graf.org>

I would buy one, but alas I do not know any women lactating right now. >sigh<<. Anyone got a Palm Pilot?

For milking women! Oh my god! That's what they're for. I was using mine for an entirely different purpose.

Last night, I found out that there is a machine available (Boots, around 20 quid) whose dedicated purpose is to milk women. Apparently, it allows women who breast feed to stock up, and leave baby/babies with minders. My stunned fascination at the existence of such a device warrants this message to share the news with any people who may not.

I've just read this new book and it is great. I have learnt so much about educating people to the Software Engineering Cause.

There is no stopping this boy!. He writes books like mad. Maybe he should be rechirstened as the god of Software Engineering because, that is clearly what he is. John I am impressed, and to think you try and pretend you don't do any work! Clearly you do and are keeping it secret from us.

Hey, I'm slightly worried that the book cover might give people the impression I actually like software engineering. This is not good.

A nice little book I just bought from Amazon. It's got lots of lovely bullet points and a nice flow graph. No content at all but still a snip at £19.99.
