I am officially a SnowHead now. I went on my first Skiing trip with them to Xscape‎, in Milton Keynes which is an indoor real snow dome. SnowHeads is an internet club of skiers who meet up and go skiing together. SnowHeads organises events in the UK and in Europe. So if you like skiing (you don’t even have to be any good), then come along and give it a try. I went with a network architect buddy of mine. On one of the breaks, in the middle, he tells me that the SnowHead people are having trouble with MySQL locking issues inside the SnowHead’s bulletin board system, and if I spoke to their head man he could explain it better. After the event, I went to see the head of SnowHeads to thank him for organising a great evening, and said: “my buddy tells me you are having trouble with your MySQL installation - well I am MySQL-man and could give you a hand". He looks over to my buddy and said: “bloody hell, that is what I call networking". By the sounds of things, Head of SnowHeads and my buddy were discussing the problem together over a beer a couple of days ago, and the next time they met my buddy had produced a fixer as a new member of SnowHeads - Me!
