Actually it is a little early to be awake period coffee or not but the rather cheesy title is a reference to the OpenCoffee Club. Encouraged by Jasper Westaway I'm helping to relaunch a local OpenCoffee Club in Edinburgh with the help of Colin Adams and David Richardson at the School of Informatics. (As Director of Commercialisation for the School of Informatics Colin is also our landlord as Cloudsoft has taken up office space at the Appleton Tower.)
Our inaugural meeting is at 10AM on Wednesday March 18 Appleton Tower, Level 8. To find out more and join our group check out Edinburgh OpenCoffee Club.
As for grumbling about being up to too early this is because I'm on the 5.50AM from Edinburgh Waverley to London Kings Cross and will be returning on the Caledonian Sleeper departing 11.50PM from London Euston tonight.
The reason? I've decided that this is the most efficient way use of my time if I want to do a "day trip" to London if you want to do something in the evening - in this case fly the flag for Cloudsoft at Cloudcamp London #3.
I don't want to sound like a walking billboard but, leaving aside the lack of a gym to compensate for the "Great English" (hmmm) breakfast in the restaurant car, what I love about the East Coast Line, besides watching dawn break over the North Sea, is the fact that it now has a rock steady free WiFi service.
Even better the infrastructure that underpins this service is provided by Nomad Digital an Amadeus Capital portfolio company. Their CEO Graeme Lowdon gave a great pitch at an Amadeus Capital Investor Day last year and its a great business as their addressible market is basically all rail track globally!
The only mystery - when I use Google on the train it defaults to www.google.se! Answers on a postcard please.
