Todays Challenge: Write a WebService that I can use to do the back end of my reporting engine. From what I can work out before I start I just need to write about five functions, and some SQL. It has been a few months since I worked on the SQL side of things so I might have some fun getting started, but I cannot imagine it will be too hard. After all it is just a special case of all the other funtions that I alread have… Right? This being IT nothing is for certain. But I am hopeful.

I am not what you would call a car freak. Cars are nice to drive, but I am not really into car races or that sort of thing. I am more interested in what goes into making them run, and the technology in them. Thanks to channels such as BBC world though I am now able to watch shows like ‘Top Gear’ – which I actually really really enjoyed. They managed to add some actual humor into a motoring show. I am not sure I will watch it again, but seeing a Bugatti race from Italy to the UK against a Cesna was interesting, even if it was rigged to make sure that the Bugatti won.
