Long Journey

From this to that

So the venue is running, like clockwork. Well clockwork with a loose cog or two, but its running.

The vibe of the venue is great. Coming to the end of the Saturday, and I've only taken a couple of hours out of the venue.

From this:

To this:

The team is shaping up well, and all are having fun.

Set up at last

The venue is now rigged, at last! Just waiting for the H&S review and the capacity to be sent. All has gone well, and the venue looks great. I will submit a photo of the 1st service tonight, but it looks good.

Greenbelt is getting upto speed, but if you haven't made it so far make the effort. It is well worth it!

Waiting

Well, I am sitting here waiting for the team to arrive, the venue is open and the stage as ever has legs on it. We don't want legs, time to get the leatherman out and remove them!

This is what the venue looks like now, oh how things will change in the next few hours.

Its a bit like the sublime to the silly here, the Wifi signal down at my tent is full on and speedy. Here in the venue it is clawing its way to find a single bar and find that elusive connection! I'm sure that will change as the real site Wifi is set up.

Come on Down

Its 7AM on Thursday morning, the sky is blue, and its GREENBELT! I'm typing this from my tent, WIFI in the campsite!

Setting up new forms cafe today, and the tech gear will arrive throughout the day. If you are coming to GB, pop in and say Hi!

Singapore this week

I am in Singapore this week for Work. And after a long flight I can't sleep!

Here to look at the regional projects that are underway, and to build closer working ties with our chaps over here.

The BA flight was full, but at least they had the new VOD movie system, so I watched:

1) Blades of Glory - Funny(ish), but good at 10;30 PM
2) 300 - not really appropriate for an airline cabin, extreme violence and some nudity. Funny how you can feel awkward in public, but would be fine seeing this stuff at home or in the cinema. Maybe some kind of challenge there to think about?
3) TMNT - Turtle Power, fun at some awful time in the morning.

Then 1 hour sleep! Why oh why can't I learn to sleep on a plane?

Then

4) Waitress - VERY VERY Good. See this if you can. Very moving film. http://waitressmovie.net/
5) Hotfuzz- enough said, and the bottom of the barrel!

So having watched more films in 12 hours than in the last month and having been up for at least 24 hours, I can't sleep!

Staying in the Copthorne Millennium Hotel in Singapore, see nice room with a "sea" view of the container port!
