If you're ever in Scotland I can recommend a pint of 80/- (pronounced 80 shilling). A pint of heavy as the Scots say!

Just been told that some scripting.com readers may be tuning in. If so, hello from bonnie Scotland!

Staying at the Invercarse Hotel in Dundee. Very nice. Used to be a silk merchant's house in the 19th century.

Touchdown! unfortunately I couldn't use my phone in the air. Still, I reckon I was the first person to blog from inside a plane!

On the plane ready to go! I'll try to blog again when we get airborne!

It's funny, where ever you go, what ever the country, there's always a Starbucks! I'm in one now waiting for my delayed flight.

On my way to the airport. I wonder if I'll be allowed to use my phone when we're in the air?

Just a quick test before I head off to the airport. You wouldn't want to miss anything now would you!

Because Steve Hooker asked so nicely, the way to get a formatted date of posting next to your mobile weblog posts is to fetch it from the email message table and simply add it to the script step that adds the graphic. I've updated my how-to instructions to reflect this:

I'm going to Dundee (in Scotland for all you non Brits) today for a presentation tomorrow on some of my Frontier-based interoperability work. There's some public stuff here:

There's a lot of potential here for Radio Userland as a desktop client allowing teachers to create their own web-based teaching & learning applications. More later.

Expect a semi-regular update on the journey and conference via SMS blogging. Why? Because I can!

If only I had one of those new Nokia phones with the built in camera! You would really have a mobile blog if you could post pictures!

Here's a how-to guide to getting icons into your Mail-to-Weblog posts:

Steve Hooker's mobile weblog posts have got nicer graphics than mine. Typical. Some hard working underpaid scripter comes up with the idea then some graphic designer makes it look nicer!
