Just Beyond The Bridge

Business In Birmingham

Thursday, October 19, 2006

The two most elusive things in life are firstly, the path to prosperity, and secondly, free wifi in Birmingham. After an hour or so searching for a suitable place to get a coffee and setup an office, Dave and I finally found a suitable coffee shop tucked out the way near the Pallisades. With the wifi catered for, the prosperity is still pretty elusive, but after some discussion, hopefully a little closer.

I had to bind together the ends of a couple of projects today, but there are a few strands still sticking out that I'm hoping to fix in tomorrow and so that I can really push on with weightier projects that need my attention.

Currin made an appearance on BBC Radio Leicestershire this morning. Poor Currin, was on the road from Southampton at 5.30am this morning to make it to the studio, but upon realising that he was still going to be late, phoned ahead to warn the studio. Unfortunately they didn't get the message and Currin got a phonecall three minutes before he was on air to get ready. Problem was he was still on the M1. He came off the motorway and answered the call in the nic of time, thrown promptly into a conversation on business and enjoying the fantastic technical echo of his own voice. When they asked him "Have you got a question for our entrepreneur?", he simply had to answer, "Erm, not off the top of my head"

It actually didn't sound that bad, although my attempt to record it failed. I think he was more concerned about his performance than most of the listeners, who wouldn't have guessed the trouble he'd gone to just to say he's going to Harvard for a while.

This isn't going to be a long entry; today, I need to dedicate brain power to business tasks, not blogging.

Ah, sweet. Cheers Tom. Dave and I went to tourist information and the library asking if they had any info, and all we got was list of BT OpenZone sites in the town. Will bear Varsity in mind for the future :)

Varsity has free wiffy, the’re even using the classif WiFI oldschool logo. Other than that, I suggest a copy of iStumbler and a list of default access point passwords.

Man, Converse were not designed for hunting free Wifi - my feet were killing me by the time I got home :p

Now if they made Converse with wifi detection in built… not only would your feet not be hurting but they would loose all their fashion credibility :)
