O Canada

Having just recovered from a devilishly high fever, a wracking cough, a splinter, and a paper cut, not to mention the annoying pebble which is still lodged in my shoe, the plan is to spend the next couple of weeks ensconced in the awesome land of Alberta, Canada. If you've never been to Calgary, or Banff or Jasper National Parks, then you've probably been somewhere else. But it wasn't as beautiful, trust me.

Speaking of yet another notable Canadian, check out James Gosling's blog. He invented Java, and his web blog may fall out of the category of the "Nilblog" because it contains fascinating material which may actually help push the state of the art. Or not. I mean, how old is Java?
