Hello Everyone -
Well - three weeks ago I was in the Persian Gulf where it was 40 degrees every day (and around 30 every night), two weeks ago I was at home in Melbourne doing the spring planting in my front garden, last week I was in Stockholm where it was about 0 all the time, and now I am in Ottawa where it is snowing!
Its been a fairly busy time as you might imagine, but there are certainly some interesting projects using Radiator in many places all around the world.
Ottawa is the city in which I grew up, and I am spending a few days here visiting family. As a city it has certainly changed since I was a child in the 1950's. Then it was very much a small government town with not much besides the the Parliament buildings and the civil service. Since then of course there has been considerable expansion and a great deal of high-tech industrial development.
The city is still very beautiful, with lovely parks and waterways within the city, and marvellous forests, lakes and hills providing tranquil surrounds. In the winter time is is quite common to see people skating to and from work on the frozen canals, and of course you don't have to go very far to find very good skiing. I pretty much grew up on skis and skiing is really the only thing I miss, living as I do in Australia.
The city has grown tremendously, and what used to be the fringes of the city where my parents bought their new house in 1956, is of course now considered to be almost "inner-city". My brother and sisters mostly live much farther out - my brother's place is still out in the country (although not for much longer judging by the every farther-reaching suburbs).
The three major telecommunications companies here are Nortel, Mitel and Alcatel, and of course there are a myriad of smaller software companies, consulting firms and high-tech R&D firms. Ottawa attracted lots of high-tech and service industries during the 80's and 90's with attractive startup packages, and the city has been transformed as a result.
Of course the traditional goverment and consular establishments also contribute an interesting mix of people and activities.
I will be returning to Australia next week, via Los Angeles, where I am going to play golf for a couple of days with friends.
All things being equal, I should be home next Thursday, so if I miss any emails between now and then, please resend them towards the end of the week.
regards
Hugh
