What to explore this weekend?

Thank you Richard, but a job in Ireland would mean a lot more to me than business in the UK. Gimme a breeak, the O' Kelloghs been around a while. :laugh:

Not the branch you Christian Heathen; the very Root! :laugh:

No, :laugh: it's named after the way it developed, like water slowly dripping (drupals) from a tap. Oh, sorry, a faucet

No, it is OK, up here in the 'world' :laugh: , we also say 'tap' for 'faucet'. It really is not that hard translating from 'English' to 'America'- at least on paper. A little harder in person. I work with a bunch of Indians (sub-continent), Vietnamese and Chinese (Mainland - Mandarin), and comms in just fine in IM or email. It is really hard to do face to face.

Have you thought about going into the Big Room instead? The big room is the extremely large room with the blue ceiling and intensely bright light (during the day) or black ceiling with lots of tiny night-lights (during the night) found outside all computer installations.

Drupal, WPF, MooTools, PHP? The choices are paralysing.
Personally, the best thing I've come across in a long time has been F# -- after over 20 years of professional programming, it's the first thing I've explored that changed how I think about programming. Plus it has a REPL built-in that not only makes testing .NET features super-fast, it removes the need to create a UI for the little helper tools we need to write from time-to-time -- just paste the function defs in and use them, which is extra good for data massaging. That $9 BILLION MS (I saw that figure years ago) has been spending on R&D has paid off at least once. Not coincidentally, the F# guys are the same guys that designed and impld the .NET 2.0 Generics, which is truly impressive, IHO. Peace be with us all.

Unfortunatelly spending time in the big room makes my home's food storage disappear.
