Han and I never got to see Harry Potter together today, unfortunately it rained cats and dogs all day long and it was far too wet for us to walk there. By the time we would have got there we'd have been utterly soaked and in no fit state to enjoy it. Deb took her when she came home while I went to bed for a few hours kip before work. Don't know if I'll get to see this one at the cinema. It'll be a shame if I don't as while we have all the films to date on DVD we have seen all of them on the big screen.
At work I was reading an article on the BBC website about the explosion in mobile applications that's happened as a result of the iPhone and the iTunes app store. It was mentioned the Stanford University, yes that Stanford, the Ivy League Stanford, was offering a free on line course on apps design. This course wasn't directly linked too but I eventually traced the free courses on offer. One is the Stanford introductory course on computer programming and is an incredible free resource. I'm determined to follow this up; tonight I read the preparatory material and the first two lectures and the manual on programming Karel the Robot. Must make and effort to stay on this, this course costs those attending Stanford 000's of dollars in fees.
