Share this postA train ride up the UK is a good reminder of how magnificent Victorian engineering was. They were bastards, but man, they were good at it.
@jarofgreen Yes! I'll be at TechMeetup, or meeting up on Tuesday could work, if that's convenient?
A bias towards action actually turns out to be pretty rare. Becoming more appreciative of Branson's "screw it, let's do it" motto.
@mdvfunes I'd really love to chat about those sorts of institutional issues. Will see what I can figure out with my itinerary.
@mdvfunes @johnjohnston Me too - v early start! I'm in Edinburgh til Thursday; then Oxford. John, I would love to meet in person.
@jmathai I lived there for a decade. Now only have California clothes. This will be interesting.
@mdvfunes @joejohnston Yes, for a few weeks! In Edinburgh until Thurs. Joe, would love to meet.
Today's first adventure: leaving my suitcase on the bus and grabbing a taxi to chase it across Oxford. Toothbrush reclaimed. Now: coffee.
On my way to Edinburgh, standing for ages at a bus stop in below-zero temperatures, which is a kind of training, I guess.
We participated in a webcast about connected courses and @withknown earlier today: http://stream.withknown.com/2014/watch-our-connected-courses-discussion-ccourses #ccourses
@nickswarb Doing work and catching up :) In Scotland for a week from tomorrow but then here until the 23rd.
Thanks to everyone at #ccourses for a great discussion! We'd love to talk to you about @withknown. Contact us here: https://withknown.com/contact/
@sullivanclaudia @cogdog @dmlamanda @mizuko Very happy to talk about it! How can we help?
Just got of the way of a fox sauntering down the Gray's Inn Road. There's a picture book in this.
@fdevillamil I've been slow about documenting / reposting, but the Meetup link is here: http://www.meetup.com/Paris-Meetup-pour-la-decentralisation-dInternet/events/218943348/ @MozillaParis
@kevinmarks @fdevillamil Confirming that I would! I'll be at @MozillaParis from 8pm on the 16th, and in town through the 17th.

Graffiti on the motorway into London that used to read "Why do I do this every day?" now just says, "nothing is permanent".
@hugoroyd Looking forward to it too! I'm arriving earlier on the 16th, and will leave late on the 17th.
@chrismessina Also my own reactions: because it feels like a dialer app, being asked to add people as friends was jarring.
@chrismessina They've clearly revisited every design decision, with intent. I don't agree with many of them, but it's opinionated.
