Updating on the move
Although it may seem old hat to some Billy Whizz types, I was somewhat pleased to find how useful was the WiFi service on GNER the other day when I had a trip to Edinburgh for a meeting. No sooner had I turned the laptop on when, hey, I was invited to connect to "gnerwifi" and so I did. Suddenly the entire internet was open to me. I downloaded some images submitted by a couple of my faithful band of photographers, chopped 'em up into publishing formats and then updated the supporting caption files. A bit of news had also come in so I dealt with that page too. And then I thought, well, that saved me some time this evening when I get back at 9pm. Well, blow that, why not upload to the webserver - yes the FTP link hooked up OK and off the new content went via who knows where. A quick check and yes the new content is online. Emails via the browser seemed to be OK, so I did some "real" work too. Next trip on GNER, save a couple to London, is to Inverness...perhaps the website can stay up to date during that extended trip, especially as WiFi is available at the b&b too. Perhaps I'm beginning to become a Billy Whizz after all.
