I just noticed that it’s been nearly two months since I wrote here. It’s been a busy time and that time has mostly been spent pushing really hard on my efforts with the iPhone SDK. Neither are yet done, but yesterday I wrapped up phase one (the I-have-no-idea-what-I-am-doing phase) to get ready to leave [...]
I signed up for Dopplr. The idea behind Dopplr is great - have people come together around their travel plans. However, unless you’re an insanely frequent traveller, or have huge numbers of friends, Dopplr really suffers from the lack of a Step 2.
See, on Dopplr, I can share my travel plans with people, see some [...]
I visited Edinburgh Castle with my friend Neil yesterday. It was really great - I hadn’t appreciated how much there was to see in there.
There are at least three army museums, the crown jewels of Scotland and the Stone of Destiny. The Royal Apartments are the part of the castle in which James I was [...]
My trip to London with April went really well. It wasn’t exactly a photographic expedition, since I didn’t have Carolyn as a second pair of eyes to check that April wasn’t playing in traffic (not that London traffic moves very fast).

I’m just back from London which, for the first time, felt like a city slightly paranoid, unhappy and joyless. Everything, it seems, has been prohibited, regulated or become subject to fines for violation. In particular, the Health and Safety legislation seems to be the shibboleth of the killjoys who once universally worked as park [...]
I’m planning to take April to London for a day or two on October, and I’d like some help: I need a child-friendly hotel somewhere in central London.
There are precisely ten bajillion hotels in London, and I’m struggling to find something that fits the bill. It doesn’t need to provide anything in particular, just [...]
We’ve had a great holiday, but tomorrow we go home. We’ve been staying at Tralee Bay for a week, and it’s been fantastic.
There were two things that really helped this time:
1. Internet Access.
Frankly, the days of mocking people for ‘needing’ internet access on holiday are long gone. When you run a one-man 24×7 [...]
We drove from Oban to Fort William today to take a ride on the cable cars on the Nevis Range. I wasn’t sure if April would love it or be terrified - you can never tell with that girl - but she adored it.
