Tickets arrived today for Edinburgh for the KDE GB AGM at Jonathan’s flat over the New Year! Woo!
I’m taking the new National Express service, as they took over the East Coast Main Line from GNER this month; in the little propaganda brochure they sent with the tickets it states that they have now extended the free wireless internet for standard class passengers as well - kudos to National Express for this!
Will be arriving at Edinburgh Haymarket around 1800 on the 31st; if anyone is arriving around the same time, do let me know.

Now that they’ve released the Nokia N810 in the UK, I ordered one yesterday and it arrived this morning; hurrah for prompt delivery!
My initial impressions are mixed.
Good things:
- the screen is fantastic
- it came with maps for the GPS for free
- it has a keyboard
- it’s responsive
- it’s nice and small
Not so good things:
- the battery cover is incredibly hard to take off
- the battery doesn’t clip in - it just sits there and is held in place by the cover
- the GPS takes ages to lock
- the keyboard feels a bit mushy, and the top row is hard to type on
Anyway, I’ve now installed Maemo Mapper which works like a charm (a bit of hackery is needed to get the internal GPS to work with it though), and ssh from xterm is very usable with the new keyboard. Haven’t installed our WebKit stuff on it yet, but the Gecko-based MicroB engine isn’t too bad.
Overall a very nice piece of kit, and I’m very pleased with it.
