The protest group “No dash for gas” and an assortment of others are protesting against Cuadrillia’s rig which is carrying out frack test drilling.

Plan B Consulting

I was on holiday recently taking advantage of the very good weather we were having in the UK. When you get hot sunny weather in Scotland you have to get out and take advantage of it!

Plan B Consulting

I’m on the Isle of Tiree waiting to put my daughter (9) on a plane to Glasgow; she has to return for a dentist appointment. I took a boat to Tiree to catch the plane. Between the boat arriving and the plane taking off, there was 30 minutes, which is tight even for a small island airport. Of course I rushed to the airport only to find the plane had been delayed.

KOSB Lays Up Its’ Colours

Plan B Consulting

Last week, I went to an army reunion of the members of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB) which was the infantry regiment I served with while in the regular army. The regiment was formed in 1689 and was amalgamated with the Royal Scots in 2006. The gathering was especially poignant for a number of reasons. It was Minden day, which the regiment celebrates annually.

When Cloud Computing goes Wrong….

Plan B Consulting

At a wedding last weekend, the woman sitting on my right told me a fascinating story about some of the perils of cloud computing, and an incident that she had been involved with. The story starts with a big push by the UK Government to save money by encouraging all departments, agencies and institutions to save money by cloud computing. They set up a large contract with an established company to run many aspects of their computing.
