You may have noticed the blog getting somewhat thinner of late.

I've not forgotten it. I'm just time slicing. I'm prepping my CV, looking for jobs, and working my way through Head First Java.

I'm moving my CV over to XML format for easier generation in various formats. I still find it amusing how they'll ask for Word docs for Linux positions. Why am I going through a Java book? Part of my "learn a new language every year" plan - the choice is a little cheeky, as Java is so similiar to C++. I'm battling against my "but that's much easier in Ruby" responses to some of the Java ideas.

However, I have to praise the way this book is written. It is aimed squarely at getting the information in your head. I hope they continue this series with other languages.

Anyway, I hope you will bear with me as I juggle real-life commitments and blogging.
