Snow is absent in Scotland. At least the snow I know.

The rain melts all of the seasons into one. With no bitter cold that separates the fall from the spring.

I would love to see a snowfall did not melt in its descent into slush. It would stop the traffic and send the country into chaos but that makes it all more the appealing.

Glasgow has a hundred words for rain and fight. It says a lot about the city. Not that it is a bad place.

I want to buy and XBox so I can mod it.

Current Open Source Fascination - Plone and Zope

I want to put a NetWare Server on a Linux Kernel so I can mod it.

Jake 2.0 is a real disappointment- It could have been the 6 Million Dollar man for the 21st Century.

Well the Football League has stopped all Sunderland matches having internet commentaries. However, they have not decided if they are replacing it with anything.

The individual teams have lost their rights over the transmission of their matches and this includes the internet. Sunderland and West Ham did not sign the agreement but now it seems that we are included.

I got a blog today a Blogspot or something (it is the one that comes with the new Google Toolbar). It is difficult to say anything of any import when blogging. There is little review of the comments. Often it is just a URL or a paste from the current funny.

Well it is the new start to another year.

Hogmanay was celebrated in the standard Scottish way with 12 hours of cleaning followed by 12 hours of drinking. It is nice to be in a clean house but it knackers you for the following events.

Off to South Gyle again today to take this Zenworks course. The Novell setup is changing so much you have to wonder if this stuff will be useful after the Novell/Suse/Red Carpet storm settles.

Travelling from Paisley to South Gyle has made it obvious to me that I do not want a long commute as part of my work. Two hours each way is too long and the trains are going to get worse not better as the week goes on.
