Back

I’m back in the UK, and now living in my flat, but updates are sparse because I don’t have internet access in the flat and work is a little busy - that’s what happens when you’re out of the office for 5 weeks!

Scotland…

This morning I got up and put on my Scotland rugby shirt…. no real reason, just seemed like a good idea.

I’m now sitting in the very friendly cafe in the Hideout Theater in Austin, and noticed that Scotland won the Calcutta Cup!

A real coincidence, and a good day.

Hi, I’m a Hillary Clinton supporter…

Was what I heard when I picked up the phone a moment ago. Happily I had an easy out given that I’m not able to vote tomorrow.

Having been in Texas for 2 weeks, it’s been almost impossible to sit through an ad break on TV without seeing an ad for one or the other, hence I now have a strong opinion. FWIW (and it’s worth nothing), if I had a vote in the Democratic primary tomorrow I’d be voting for Barack Obama. Why? Because I think he’d more likely to succeed in the change both he and Hillary Clinton promise.


About

I’m David Illsley, I work in Web Services development at IBM Hursley, which involves work on the Apache WS Project, where I am a committer and PMC member. When not working with technology, I spend a lot of time on the backstage aspects of theatre, and a sadly decreasing amount of time reading.
