Planning the routes for this year’s cycle to the Mull of Kintyre

Every year we travel to the Mull of Kintyre during the last weekend of July to celebrate two weddings and a couple of birthdays. This year will be no different and I wholly look forward to it again. This year will be slightly different. My friend David and I are threatening to cycle the distance from Glasgow to Carradale, on the Mull of Kintyre. We have three different routes, varying in length and “mountainacity”.

The boring long way round via Loch Lomond. Flat-ish and 117miles.

The Easy Arran Route. Flat-ish and 80miles.

Via the Kyles of Bute. Hardcode and 87miles.

Needless to say we’re going hardcore! via the Kyles of Bute. I’ve driven the route several times and the views from the top of the Kyles are absolutely amazing.
It starts this weekend with the first training ride of the year (gulp).

Vamosa job opening for a Java/.Net Team Leader

Hi folks,

I’m the CTO for Vamosa, a software company headquartered in Glasgow, with an rapidly expanding office in Boston (across the pond). We’re a 30-man strong company with a small development team in Glasgow that needs expansion. Our software allows clients to migrate and transform huge websites, from one content management system to another.

The software is built on both J2EE and .NET, using the usual suspects in componentry: Spring, xUnit, Hibernate, etc. etc. Woven through all of this is a big helping of both Jython and IronPython.

I’m looking for an opinionated, technology-obsessed, fun-loving, and inspiring team-leader, who knows his way around the Java and .NET spaces.

Working at Vamosa, you’ll occupy a fundemental role at Vamosa. We’re a product company, and you’ll be in charge of the products development. So we want you to bring ideas, be opinionated, tell us where we’re going wrong, but also be amazed by some of the stuff we’ve already done, because we think we pretty clever.

So if you are that person, contact me through email at ijonas.kisselbach@vamosa.com.

Cheers,
Ijonas.

P.S. Please, no agencies!
