The Blog... Paul Wallace

Last Wednesday, they had a lucky escape at the school, when a 74-ton crane toppled over in the playground. It narrowly missed the school, and could easily have wrecked a neighbour's house. No-one hurt in the accident, school and house were empty at the time. The only damage was to a crushed storage shed, a broken tree, and a small crater in the playground - although the driver was somewhat startled.

I'll post some updates here of the progress to sort out the mess. Word is they will bring in two extra-large cranes, and will have to tear down a hedge, more trees and the adventure playground - as well as isolate the power cables for the operations.

As you may have seen, Sun changed the stock ticker from SUNW to JAVA. I was only asked by one person about this, and I promised to write some words, but Jonathan's blog seems to cover just about every angle.

Personally, I think it's good, but it won't address every potential audience. My Mom might not notice, but then the "Sun" brand didn't mean much to her until she saw the logo on the Pete Goss catamaran on the river. Team Phillips web site

Here's hoping JAVA spreads to an even wider audience.
