I was due to travel from Edinburgh to London Heathrow this morning on the 6.30am flight – scheduled to arrive at London Heathrow at 8.00am
I heard from the people in the Novell Scotland office and a few others that heavy snow was forecast; I decided to travel down from Scotland early – “Just in case”.
Smart planning. Edinburgh Airport was closed for several hours this morning; flights started leaving at 9.30am. My scheduled flight arrived at London Heathrow at 11.30am – much later than my connecting flight to San Francisco.
Phew! I may have had a hectic Saturday travelling down to London – but at least I made my flight and I’ll be back home tonight.

Mark Schouls sent me a link to this Tshirt site; I don’t know whether to be worried by this…
Someone in Germany (or maybe Austria/Switzerland) is either surprisingly supportive of the Evil ZEN Scientist concept.. or I have a doppelganger. (I hope it’s not a stalker!)
Reminds me of my good friend Jerry Chadwick – who used to be the engineering manager for Novell Application Launcher. He had ‘NAL groupies’ who would follow him around at BrainShare – even into the restroom. 🙂

Wow – I went out for dinner tonight in Birmingham, England with my sister.
Birmingham is renowned as one of the curry capitals of England; the original home of the Balti.
This evening I chose to visit a recommendation – Lasan in the Jewelery Quarter.
Put simply – the food was superb. Modern, classy Indian, served with style. Very tasty, extremely high quality ingredients – and they cook parathas to order 🙂
Highly recommended

Many of you may have seen the immense media hubbub regarding the ‘Origami Project‘; many news and gossip sites have been speculating what the Microsoft and Intel project really could be.
The hardware device itself was showcased at CeBIT in Hanover this week – and honestly reviews have been mixed.
My biggest question to you – is this just another gadget? (After all – it’s just a small form factor Windows XP Tablet Edition box.) Do any of you expect to see these appear in a corporate setting? Will any of you be expected to manage these devices!
I wager $5 that someone has SUSE Linux running on one of these things within a day or so of ship!

Novell Cool Blogs finally went live and public this week – we’ve now got half a dozen regular posters – and seemingly hundreds of readers.
The next challenge is keeping up the quality and quantity of posts; we also plan to add other Novell people to the blogosphere – and finally got out and tell the world about the site!
One challenge we have is making the blog ‘less corporate’ – but still remaining a trusted and valuable source of information.
