moving can reveal buried treasures

At the beginning of this year we moved to out new private location. Thanks to the easter-holidays, i had the chance to unpack some of the last boxes from my personal equipment...
Two books, which i already marked as lost, were found: one of my famous books about data analysis and a book called "my job went to india - 52 ways to save your job" by chad fowler. I think, the book does not only deal with having the right strategies to stay employed (or to stay employable), it just describes how everybody should evolve in his job or even in his (or hers) life.
Sometimes, when i feel stuck, i take the book to get some ideas, what to do to move to the next levels... (okok, this book cvers life-aspects of softwaredevelopers, it won't help a single inch on painters or insurance workers).

As a frequent .net developer i now decided to code something in a competing technology as described: i will do something on java and especially java server faces. And it already helped: i got some pretty new ideas on .net problems just by comparing (or transferring) ideas to another world. So, just try new pathes and reach completely new viewpoints to you past work.
