JDK AWAY!!!!
Permalink  

So the JDK (or Enormo as I've taken to calling him) is away on a conference today, possible with Susan - before letting it all hang out (sorry if you were eating) at the Christmas do tonight!

With that in mind, and considering that he confided in me that he was dreading it all, we should at least have him in our thoughts today, but not all of him clearly, as there wouldnt be room for anything else!



I'm not nice...jdkcross 26x44

It wasn't sh!t.

The conference was pretty good actually.  In fact the second guest speaker - Abi Oyepitan - was truly inspirational.

The party in the evening was fun - ended up hoarse from laughter and drink and am feeling a little tired after the 2.30am finish. ashamed

As the saying goes - "You get out what you put in."

Cool - so who was Abi Oyepitan? was he giving you the benefit of first hand experience of Nigerian mail fraud?

Yup. If you enjoy spending an hour listening to a man from an external auditing firm tell you that data security is a bit of an issue and do the same brainstorming exercise that you did the year before and the year before that yawn.gif

I'm not sure I actually found him to be inspirational. He was very personable and quite funny and his story was certainly intertesting and it entertained me. He was the only interesting part of a very dull day.

Incidentally, Stead - our guest speaker was a paralympic baskeball player. It wasn't Abi Oyepitan - turns out that's a female relay runner. He had a very similar name though... a quick google reveals it to be Ade Adepitan

Thanks for the correction Mate.
Time was at a premium when I wrote, so didn't have time to check my googling result properly - a slap in the face is what you get for not giving things the time they deserve. ashamed

I stand by everything else I said though.

It's good to stand by things - except jet engines that are running or the JDK eating a bacon sandwich... that is all

Well, not really...I don't remember much glamor to that period of my life...It was just a job without much excitement...Here is a link to a thread I started elsewhere about those days...The links therein have some good pictures (none with me however)...Ben
