Anything that I feel like saying.

Working in Glasgow today

I had the occasion to visit the other big city in Scotland today doing a bit of support work on a web app.

Got up early, travelled through to the city centre and popped in to Easy Internet Cafe for a cup of coffee and a read of my work email using the excellent web access tools provided with Exchange Server 2003. Of course, Cedalion have a real smart team who can design and implement the same thing for you.

I have been through to Glasgow a few times and have almost got my head around the Costa Coffee arrangement at the Glasgow branch of EasyInternet whereby you ask for your latté to go in order to carry it across to the web terminals.

“Are you drinking in or taking away?” , Alistair says “Er, actually taking away to go over there..”.

It must be me. I manage to make this really awkward.

Alistair’s Blog is getting linked to

I will need to get my act together with this blog as my eminent ex-colleagues are beginning to link to it. As you may or may not know, this blog is running Scott Watermasysk’s dottext (.Text) blogging software on the european webmatrix hosting site.

I have a few tweaks to finalise the installation as I would like it, and have to get the email sending working with the hosting arrangement and we will be “cooking on gas” as the term hereabouts goes.

In the meantime thanks to Martin Sutherland and Spencer Harbar for picking up on the new blog.

Picked up my new suit today

Went shopping for a new suit last Saturday and popped in to pick it up today after the alterations had been made.

It needed the trousers shortened a little and the sleeves extended a little, Slater Menswear (George Street in Edinburgh) do free alterations so all sorted.

The suit ? A dark blue single breasted two piece suit. They didn’t have the darker three piece suit in my size so I will be popping back in a few weeks to see if they have it, or get it ordered.

Nice to buy suits again, haven’t bought any for a few years!
