What I did this afternoon! Vodafone Liveguy

As many of you know I lead a busy life being a director at a few Internet companies, my typical day will start after dropping off my son at school I go in to the office, solving problems, reading blogs, coming up with ideas and working away on various projects with the odd meeting thrown in for good measure.

Getting closer to lunch time when I get an MSN message from Fraser “why are you not out finding the liveguy?” what on earth is he on about, so I ask and sends me a link to his blog post on the Vodafone Liveguy. The day before he was in Edinburgh and Fraser decided he would go look for him after it was clear that very few others had taken the leap from desktop to out and about. So what did I do, went off for lunch and decided I too would track him down, and I did. With Frasers help back at his Affiliate Command Centre he guided me like a Cruise Missile straight to the building the Liveguy had ducked in to, however when he came out of the building I was just up a bit outside Scottish Screen’s Glasgow HQ and missed him by like 10 seconds as someone else who decide to take the afternoon off work got in with the magic phrase.

So we have one Affiliate Marketing winner in Edinburgh, I have let the side down for Glasgow but Newcastle is next, will Kieron strike another blow for people who work but when something interesting Internet wise comes along go running from the office with any excuse just to take part even when they don’t actually want the prize, they just want to win!

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is something that I was taught about in School however the BB and the Cub Scouts really sent the message home, I remember going on parades with the BB on Remembrance Sunday.

Remembrance Day however doesn’t normally fall on a Sunday and the actual day set aside is the 11th of November so we remember the sacrifices by people during wars. This post was written before 11am today and queued on the server to publish on 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and you will find that most business, shops, train stations etc will observe a 2 minutes of silence.

It’s worth remembering that even if you don’t agree with war, the people that go to fight in our name do so to protect our country and only because the politicians we elected tell them to do so, if you don’t like a war do something about the people in power but always support our troops. Pay your respects to the people who have died in our name and let’s not forget that during current wars the men and woman in our armed forces that fight for us.

The World Changed Overnight

Woke up this morning to find the world had changed, the excitement and buzz surrounding the change was indeed something, some would say an historic moment and indeed World of Warcraft patch 3.0.3 had been released overnight was indeed something pretty major. The final patch before the release of Wrath of the Lich King next Thursday at 00:01 in the morning, I have my copy ordered from Gameplay however I will probably have to visit the stores on Thursday to get the additional 2 copies I will need.

I will be updating my ever popular WoW Leveing site some time after I have played Lich King as I want to make sure I still offer the fastest routes and best information to level in World of Warcraft.
