Well I haven't blogged here for a while - and it's time to sort that out.
In the intervening years various things have happened.

• A large banking website that I did technical architecture on went live (hooray!)

• I've recently got into to Wicket as a UI framework and am overseeing architecture on two projects using it in the web tier (incidentally I attended a very good London Wicket User Group meeting the other day at Google's London offices)

• I've also been providing architectural consultancy for a number of well known organisations - which has been interesting. Seeing how other groups solve problems - sometimes in a way that I think is better than how I would have approached it and sometimes worse - has been a very interesting experience.

I've recently noticed that Wicket is becoming portlet friendly and am starting to investigate that:

• Resource 1
  
• Resource 2
  
• Resource 3
  
• Resource 4
  
  

Also apparently captcha is now easily read and broken by bot's this looks like a (very) cute replacement.....

Hope any readers that are out there are having a good year.....

Cheers
