London

So, here we are.

At long last, after more than a decade of being in a whole ‘nother country, I have returned.

It’s going to take a bit of getting used to, I think. There’s a big difference between the place where you grow up and go to school and the place where you spend the years between your 20th and 30th birthdays. Edinburgh is a great capital city, and an amazing place to be… but it’s a different kettle of ballgames to this capital city, and I’m here in a completely different way to the way I was here before.

In a nutshell, this is all going to be a bit different.

Very very exciting.

I am packing. It’s more difficult than you think, isn’t it?

Had a big night out with work people last night, which was really good. Bit of a slow-burning hangover… seems to be making the whole packing thing more difficult. Which is nice.

Right then.

Now that is funny.

There I was, minding my own business. I stick up my sliding lists idea, and forget about it for a bit. (It’s been improved, by the way, but not updated yet. I have a cool idea to use it… which I will get back to.)

Lo and behold, it gets blogged by none other than the creator of the book which inspired it.

Jeremy Keith calls it “an interesting navigation idea”, which is what I hope it will be, soon. Makes me happy. Cheers Jeremy.

Right then: I will have to start paying attention. Google is watching, even as I pack up my boxes of stuff and continue to panic gently about things in general.
