OK, first off: I'm an idiot. You'd think that after forgetting to take pictures/videos at my last few tech demos, I'd have managed to remember to do so today during the Sun@Strathclyde OSUM's visit to Linlithgow. Sadly, no - completely forgot. Had the camera in my bag and everything, just completely failed to use it. Epic lose :-(
The day, however, did go pretty well - we were entertained by the manager of Sun's Executive Briefing Centre at Linlithgow, who kindly showed us around the campus, including a tour of Project Blackbox and the cavernous Solution Centre lab. We also, after a brief spell of warbling from myself, enjoyed a great talk from two experienced Sun engineers about science, technology and engineering from a Sun perspective - really interesting stuff, and plenty of useful food for thought for the future.
All in all, a pretty good day, and a chance for students to get a glimpse of the inner workings of a high-tech computing company. I think we'll have to see about doing this again next year, so don't worry if you missed it!
