In the last three weeks I’ve worked for different parts of the same financial services group, in Edinburgh, in Dublin and in Halifax. It has been interesting to see the similarities from the sector, but also differences due to history and business practices in the locality.

I’ve also been to Leeds Bradford Airport for the first time, and been introduced to Halifax, Leeds and Bradford the towns.

It has been a bit of a whistle stop, but some fascinating looks at scalable .net web architecture. And had the opportunity to work with one of my fellow colleagues from down South. He has a Lotus Elise, so I can now say I’ve travelled in one and know the technique for fitting my 6 foot 5 frame of ahem weight through the passenger door and into the seat. All i can say is that it involves winding the window down.
