I never did get those photos taken in Edinburgh the other weekend.  In fact, my camera barely came out if it’s bag save to take a couple of pictures of the car.  Not that in anyway I’m taking the lack of Baileyesque activity as a failure, but more a sign of a good weekend, doing absolutely nothing!  Was really good to catch up with Angela, Robert and Declan, and of course to see Musselburgh and Edinburgh again.  It’s funny, the more I go back to Edinburgh, the more I miss it, yet paradoxically the more I realise that Glasgow really is my home.  When I was at University, and living in Edinburgh, I always figured, that sure Glasgow was a little bit bigger, but that the cities were just two big cities.  The view I find myself with now is that Edinburgh is a collection of small towns, whilst Glasgow is the big bad metropolis of Scotland. (I’m sure I stole that quote off someone far smarter than myself, but what the hey.

Anyway, back in Glasgow now, at the Fort.  It’s so sad that there is no more Borders, I can’t believe that someone can’t reinvent the concept – Amazon perhaps?  Nonetheless, the Starbucks card, and free access to Wifi more than make up for it.  I feel like there are so many thing I want to write about here, but I don’t think it would be particularlly thrilling to log onto a blog with 400 articles – with 390 of them written in one day.  I’ll just throw a few words out that are on my mind or involved in:

MiFi from 3 : have replaced my T-Mobile 3G dongle with this service- amazing – after RTFM!

quattros, quattros and quattros: some things never change.

Cisco and Vyatta: still ongoing, but being disrupted by life

Well I’ve spent the last few weeks fuming at loosing blog v.3.x I had poured my soul into it, and bang gone in a minute. I’ve looked at rebuilding from backups but to be honest after reviewing a lot of the content on my dev server at home – I’ve come to the conclusion that most of the old infomration is an archive of my life.

So I’ve decided to start afresh- keep what was good, add in extras and drop what wasnt working:

so
twitter: YES
flicker: YES
moblog: no (twitter gives me that)
and adding
facebook : yes
v-blogging: yes
buzz: yes
wiki: yes

Today im in Edinburgh, and I’m going to start putting together a photographic record of my family history. I have big plans, (as always )

I lost my old blog through a billing error at GoDaddy – brilliant
