\nI’m spending all of this week on a Java course (J2EE). It’s a broad but shallow course, giving an introduction to a number of things in the J2EE SDK, but not going into much detail on any of them. Yesterday and today, for example, we’ve covered JDBC (database access), JNDI> (which doesn’t really have a VB equivalent as far as I know – it’s a service that allows objects to be looked up by name), sending and receiving mail, and servlets (dynamic web pages – the Java equivalent of ASP). Dizzying.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou’re probably all getting rather bored with all these posts about how excited I am about learning all these things… But that really is all that’s going on in my life at the moment. So that’s what you get.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe only other event worth noticing is the long-awaited arrival of spring. We’ve had winter here all the way until this weekend – temperatures barely above freezing, even though it’s already the end of March. Wool-lined gloves and thick woollen scarfs in March! Now at last we’ve turned the corner, it seems.\n<\/p>\n

\"Daffodils\"<\/p>\n

\nIt was even warm enough at midday today that I spent half of my lunch break walking around in a tiny park at Gray’s Inn<\/a>. It’s a private garden, really, open only for 2 hours around lunchtime on weekdays. And it’s only got two entrance gates and no straight way through, which gives it a peaceful atmosphere – there’s no through traffic. And full of cheerful daffodils. A nice spot to spend half an hour in the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
