I'm in Ireland this week ... custom Perl course at the start of the week, Linux course to take me through to Friday. Excellent Ferry crossing over last night - I prefer the Liverpool boat as it give me a good long crossing on which I can get a cabin and sleep well, and it's reliable even in rough weather. Back on Saturday's 10 p.m. boat. I wondered how the P & O Staff were going to be with the press comment yesterday on P & O thinking of shedding 1000 staff, but they seemed fine. But then, the Irish crossings were thinned out earlier in the year with the Mostyn boat being taken off, so perhaps the thing has happened here already.
