It’s 5am. Do you know where your sun is? Still well beyond the horizon. Damn it, going to bed when it’s not daylight feels wrong..
The wiki has been separated into pages, oOo! I’ve decided to go with a spaces/groups/etc section taxonomy, shall see how far that gets me..
Check it @ http://edinburgh.thingsandstuff.org
Now for some events. I’d recommend the Doors Open Day. Hae a gander at what’s available on the site, plan a trip around the city, whatnot.
?? WEEKLY PROGRAM 7th - 13th SEPTEMBER
Various dates, various events, various arts, various facts, various moods, all at The Forest, 3 Bristo Place.

?? Edinburgh TechMeetup
Wed, 9th Sep, 7.00pm
Floor 8, Appleton Tower, Crichton St (map)
Networking sounds like something that you do if you’re in PR or sales, so we don’t call it that and we don’t make it feel like that. There’s no name badges, no canapés. There’s just pizza and beer, a projector and a load of techies arguing about stuff. Come along to a TechMeetup and meet who else is involved in your tech scene.
