I’m sat at work looking for a specific chapter from Martin Fowler at the moment [the ThoughtWorks guy, not the ridiculous BBC soap character]. Quick check of the library catalogue shows that the book I want isn’t available in our collection and so the usual recourse would be to head over to Amazon or some other volume seller to get a copy.

However, for the fairly pauperish sum of $99 a year I have access to both O’Reilly’s Safari Enterprise Library and Books 24×7 through membership of The ACM, and through that – access to the Fowler book in question. If you’re going to spend £50 on something, then might I suggest you spend it on ACM membership for a year?

I’ve been testing the http access to one of our new development servers and have hit the sort of applet rendering problem I thought I’d seen the back of with the introduction of Java 5 on OS X. Sadly this is not the case, and I’ve had everything from a blank frame to an inability to enter text in a password field (so not able to login).

Another observation on Sametime, this time with Adium, is it always the case that your account is added automatically in to your own Buddy List? Whilst I may well agree with my own sentiments, there’s something mildly annoying about having your conversation echoed back at you through double posting. Aye Carumba!
