The Nerds are coming...

...to Haslemere (except for Mark who seems to want to to Hazlemere which is a very different place) tomorrow. We have a day of Java type stuff planned with Simon who will be showing Mark and myself how to build a web application using the latest and greatest "stuff". I'm expecting to learn a lot of buzzwords (like Ant, Eclipse, Hibernate, Tomcat) which will, hopefully, allow me to at least blend in at the next Java Bloggers drink up.

That is,of course, assuming that we don't end up in the pub at midday for a "programmer's lunch" and a cleasing ale or twenty.

Give us some money you rich bastard!

You know that you're rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous when you see two of these little beauties within 50 metres of each other. But does money make you happy? Well, they "looked" reasonably happy!

Snakes, ants, tennis, mice, candles and planes. What do they all have in common? Well, Jolly Phonics, that's what. Sam was s-s-s-s-s-ing and a-a-a-a-a-ing and t-t-t-t-t-ing like a cross between Porky Pig and Foghorn Leghorn last night.

Fantastic!
