No Comment - just a little (biz)talk
A declaration thats very popular among politicians these days. Nothing so fancy here though. I've just had to remove the comments option for all my posts to date to avoid the comment spam. I'm waiting for Sahil Malik to send me the utility to bulk migrate my posts to CodeBetter as that seems to be a decent blog site. But then again I could probably just create an account and start posting there and leave this dormant.
One thing about CAPTCHA is that it can be tricky when you post genuine comments. I was trying to reply to a post on the new CMS 2002 book and i wrote a long reply and then couldnt get the Captcha text correct so it rejected my post. Serves me right. I should have saved my comments in notepad first. Anyway, i didnt bother rewriting my post. I hate CMS 2002 and the bad experiences with it are probably better just left buried in the past rather than digging it up again, inflaming old wounds and angering its fans (are there any really?)
So what am I doing right now? Im on a BizTalk training course (one thats run specifically for Microsoft partners) in Basingstoke (near London. Its quite good. Theres only about 8 of us and the trainer is a decent chap. Unfortunately due to some probs with BTS on VPC2004 some of the latter labs dont work so we have to watch Shockwave simulations to see how the execution of the lab exercise works.
Still, I'm rather looking forward to going back to work and trying out this stuff to refresh my memory. The problem is landing a BTS project to practice this. My colleagues up north are working hard at a huge integration project (lucky chaps + poor sods) and I wish i could roll up my sleeves and get to do some of it. But if im lucky there are some exciting project prospects in London itself that should kick off pretty soon.
Gotta go now, the next session is starting.
