On the 12th April 2008, my old school chum Thusha and his girlfriend Katherine got themselves married at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. I didn’t manage to get any photos of the ceremony, but there are a few snaps taken during the ceilidh in the evening that seem to have come out reasonably well.
When at work, I’m generally in the worlds of Windows and Solaris. But these days I’m doing my home development work on a MacBook Pro. But I’m keen to make sure that I can do everything that I do at work so that I can experiment in my own time. So here’s a list of the software I use to develop on the Mac and where to get it.
I mentioned my use of the WebLogic Scripting Tool a little while back. I have noticed since then that a number of folks visiting this site are looking for example scripts. I have obviously written a number myself and I promise I’ll try to get around to posting them here. However until I get myself in gear, I thought I would point you at some useful examples that are already out there. I’ll expand this post as I find more…

Since I’m now playing around on a MacBook Pro I thought I’d see whether it was possible to get BEA WebLogic running on it. As it turns out it’s quite simple. These instructions seem to apply to anything from 9.0 upwards, but there’s a link to instructions for 8.1 below.
Below the jump park, there’s a fun green run down into the village. It’s a long off-road section through the woods followed by lots of hairpin bends on a stretch of road.
To get to the jump park involves riding down from the top lift on a series of berms. It’s a fun little ride down, although Jon did manage to come a cropper on it. You may notice me pause on the track before dropping down into a berm. Apparently that’s where Jon got himself a concussion!
The second of the helmet cam movies is mostly a view of my hands working the paddle as I try to follow the orders of our river guide Manu.
The mtb-thrashers are now back from their trip to Les Gets, a village in the French Alps renowned for mountain biking. You can find all Jon’s quality photos at mtb-thrashers.com, but as well as that good stuff, I managed to get some helmet-cam footage. It’s hard work getting the camera pointing in the right direction, so to be honest there was a lot of wasted footage. However, I reckon I managed to pull together some almost watchable segments. But I’ll let you decide…
First of all, on a day of rafting we had to climb up a large rock and jump into the rapids. I did this wearing a helmet cam which hopefully captures a feel of the event.
My wee bro Antony married his very-long-term girlfriend Jenny on 7th October 2006. I didn’t take many photos of the event, but here I present some of the better ones.
