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…
Diving at Sharm El Sheikh 2007
Photos from our holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, November 2007.
WebLogic on Mac OS X
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.
Les Gets 2007 – Green route from jump park
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.
Les Gets 2007 – Riding down to the jump park
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!
Les Gets 2007 – Shooting the rapids
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.
Les Gets 2007 – Jumping in the river
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.
Ant and Jen’s wedding
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.
Gardening-Excellence.co.uk goes live
Andy runs a small business called “Andrew Fereday Gardening Excellence” based in Halifax. He provides a bespoke maintenance service, specialising in perennials and flowering shrubs, many of which can be hard work to look after well. It’s a field that he takes very seriously and I can certainly recommend his skills. The business is beginning to bloom (sorry … couldn’t help it) and as a birthday present this year I thought I would buy a domain and set up a small site that would give him an online presence and make it easy to put up contact details, news and example photos from gardens that he works on.
For the moment the site is only just being set up, so you can expect quite a few changes in the near future. But hopefully it will eventually become useful as an online face of Andy’s business.
Dom & Isabel marry in Spain
Dom’s one of my earliest friends, if not the first. Well … our mothers were pregnant at the same time, working in the libray in Hull. On June 15th 2007 Dom got himself hitched to Isabel in Albacete, Spain. Leanne and I made our way over there and made a week of it, staying in Alicante for a couple of days before travelling to Albacete. It was a wonderful wedding, enjoyed by all and somehow we managed to make it all the way through to 5:30 in the morning, at which point Dom was dumped in the fountain in the hotel courtyard. Actually he was allowed to take off his trousers first, which I think was quite generous.
