TechDis bid

Great - the TechDis HEAT2 bid was successful! So I have enough money to buy the students in the group a stick so that they can evaluate Portable Firefox for themselves. And the work will get publicity under the TechDis banner. Great. Additional software for the stick looks promising too.

Student Guide

Now we have to change the cover so that it conforms to the Corporate. Mixed feelings as something that has always been in our hands has been taken away. However, I did mention in a small voice about getting them involved before. Possibly it's a good thing as I think that the cover would have benefited from a professional look. However, I am afraid of it coming too anonymous. At least they are not looking at the inside. That would be too much if they did. Still not sure about the changes that they have done. I don't like making a decision without the portal people being involved - [edited] - Great - a Portal Person has come up with a good compromise. Sufficiently small change and linking it to the original cover. Looks good.

Back from Dundee

The conference was wonderful! Very friendly. The icing on the cake was that my poster was awarded "Outstanding Poster". It's great to be recognised.

Dodgy journey back from Edinburgh Airport especially as the security was heightened due to the previous day's car going into Glasgow Airport and bursting into flames.
