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
