No Edinburgh Buses on Monday

It seems that Lothian Buses are expecting to run out of fuel over the weekend, due to the pensions-related strike at Grangemouth.

At least no cyclists will get hit

Hardy Heron Countdown

There’s a nice article on the BBC today, plus a longer interview with Mr Ubuntu.

London Marathon 2008

It’s that time of year again…  I’m all registered and ready for the race tomorrow.  You can follow along on BBC1 (in the UK) and if you press red and watch the finish line between 1.30pm and 2pm, there is a small chance you could see me.

Alternatively, you should be able to track me on http://marathon.marvellous.mobi/ as runner 32399.  That also works on mobile phone browsers (that’s what the .mobi means).  The last attempt at this kind of thing by Orange ended in failure, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

As a reminder, if you would like to sponsor me, just click here.

Train Wifi

Making wifi free isn’t always a good idea, especially when you’ve got a large audience and a limited connection … like the train to London. Try again, National Express East Coast.
