Headphones ordered 7 May have arrived, only took 17 days for first class post from 40 miles away! I've already been refunded via PayPal! :-)

Performed my first useful operations with #puppet this morning. Impressive. I can see the value immediately. #learningpuppet

Callum Macdonald

Justified. I have found my new favourite, thigh slappingly fantastic, television show. Hell yes sir, it has arrived!

Callum Macdonald

It's 4:30am, I'm getting home, and it's light already. Time to dig out that eye patch from storage and start sleeping in darkness! :-)

Callum Macdonald

It has been raining all day, from morning till night. Light rain mostly, continuous rain, all day long. Great place for the ducks Edinburgh!

Callum Macdonald

Back from the weekend birthday party and cutting the grass, mum ain't hanging about with the list of jobs I can tell you!

Callum Macdonald

Arrived, in bed, long day, early start...

Reflections from Morocco, written mostly on the train heading out... http://ping.fm/lL2cT

Callum Macdonald

Survived the airport bus, caught one guy pickpocketing my cash, evidently missed the guy nabbing my headphones. Still, cheaper than a taxi!

Callum Macdonald

Adios Rabat, it's been an adventure. On the train to Fes now, then taxi airport, plane, bus, taxi and I'll be at Ferg & Emma's around 2am...

Callum Macdonald

Only online postage quote from Morocco to UK is £90, versus €40 to take an extra bag with Ryanair. Gotta go in person tomorrow I guess...

Callum Macdonald

Leaving Morocco party at our place tomorrow night from around 8pm, all welcome. :-)

Callum Macdonald

It be mighty cold up here in Chefchaouen but them thar mountains sure is pretty. It be raining up here in Chefchaouen also. Me has wifi. :-)

Callum Macdonald

Ryanair now charge £25 for a 15kg bag Edinburgh to Paris. That's more than the flight. Unacceptable. No more you charlatans, no more.

Callum Macdonald

All 2'328 contacts spontaneously disappeared from my phone tonight, along with entire call history. Last sync was 9 Mar. :-( Restored <30m.

Callum Macdonald

Just bought a carpet. Mum was quoted 2000, Adil, chief negotiator, worked him down to 1700. Not too shabby. Now gotta get it to Edinburgh...

Callum Macdonald

Benchmarking disk IOPS at 2am, what has life come to? Geek friends, prepare yourselves for email discussion. :-)

Callum Macdonald

Looks like we've got workable internet with a sensible bandwidth allowance at long last thanks to Nathaniel's old Inwi sim card. :-)

Callum Macdonald

I figured out the source of our internet problems. The deal changed from 400M/day then 128kbps to 100M/day then nothing. Boo Maroc Telecom.

Callum Macdonald

After a couple of days of sporadic internet access we're back up on one 3g sim and promised it will be restored fully tomorrow...
