Jetsam, flotsam and aggregated insight

752

Great to see so many names from years ago back on the blog yesterday.  As well as the jetsam and flotsam of life at Celtic, there have been times when the blog has had real value to the few, and occasionally, to the many.  Once or twice, we’ve made a real difference to our club.

Our ability to add value correlates directly with the great contributions which appear here; sometimes when people offer remarkable insight, sometimes when many aggregate their thoughts to analyse an issue.

My guess is that there will be moments in the next decade when that insight and aggregation will be needed, so thanks to everyone who keeps the place sane through the flotsam days, before the biggies emerge.  Thanks also for yesterday’s enormous support.  The untold stories of acts of kindness and generosity from the community over the decade are so numerous they are no longer exceptional.  It’s a great place to be a part of.

There are changes ahead.  A new blog design is on the way and the Quick News section will retire this summer.  Canajunbhoy has exclusively posted the section in the wee small hours for the best part of the decade, so he more than deserves peace to hang up his keyboard.  My sincere thanks for all his help.

CQteN was an enormous success and built three school kitchens in Malawi for Mary’s Meals (photos from the last two are on the way).  It was also enormous fun.  We’re going to do it again, although I’m not sure yet if it has the legs to be an annual event/bi-annual or other.  Open to ideas.

    Word reaches me that Ernie Lynch and Snake Pilssen are enjoying a romantic break in Paris, hence the current ceasefire in the referendum debate.

    Just been texting to sort out the arrangements for tomorrow and really looking forward to it but reading his entries on the blog and knowing what day weefrathetim has ahead of him puts things in perspective about what is most important and that of course is family.

     

    weefra, I met you very briefly and shook your hand outside the Pool’s Office when I was picking up badges from Doc (Ross County game if I recall correctly) so do not claim to know you well but you will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

    I will put Bobs music to that. Doc has agreed to sing and Morrisey.23 will hold up the cards. It could be bigger than live aid

     

     

     

    Made me laugh there.:)

  13. Any bhoys staying in Edinburgo after the game tomorrow note that the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival is in full swing. Literally. Therefore plenty post match entertainment available.

  15. Awe_Naw,

     

     

    So far I prefer Apple.

     

    I’ve just had a read at some info on Ubuntu/Linux, sounds good if you know what you are doing.

  16. WeefratheTim

     

    I am not of the praying fraternity but I will certainly be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that that knowledge is in some small way helpful. You have always come over as a very decent man and that is evidence of an excellent mother. I hope you can draw strength from the events of tomorrow to help you and your family at this very emotional time.

    lost my brother to cancer 1 year ago today, i remember the words of comfort posted on here. This place can be wonderful at times.

  24. Awe_Naw, would you recommend Ubuntu for an individual with reasonable tech knowledge for a laptop?

     

    No chance of using it on a phone, company won’t have it.

     

    It looks very slick.
