My order for broadband has just gone in to Nildram. Decided to go with them in the end as I wanted a static ip address with an email account and webspace etc. According to ADSL Guide they have been consistently rated as one of the fastest ISP's. I have also heard nothing but good things about their Customer Service.

MIT course note are now available online at MIT OpenCourseWare. This reminds me of the time I attended a full lecture course and actually typed up the notes. It was about the only exam I passed. Anyway, if you are interested in learning more about anything from anthropology to particle physics then this looks good.

The site was a full J2EE based eBusiness platform for BA World Cargo. It introduced track and trace functionality, which involves communicating with a legacy mainframe system. I am particulary proud of the barcode generation jsp pages which I wrote in the back of a car while on my way across Scotland to catch a ferry.

Involved in different sections of this site that is very complex, with many legacy system interfaces and high transaction numbers. There were so many good people involved in this project that I can take no credit for any one part. I never did get the airplane to fly while waiting for the ticket booking screen...
