Seth's Adventures in Scotland

Ok, so I'm off in Scotland doing grad school. I must be having some sort of adventures, right?

Where and with whom I live
Climbing Arthur's Seat
Shaving my head for Halloween
Some software I wrote, just to break the monotony of coursework. No photos, but there are a few screenshots in there.
The nice people at James Thin (local bookshop) let me walk behind the counter to take this picture. Obviously, someone has been holding out on us.
Jeff Fitz, featured wacko.
I went to Craigmillar Castle.
Chocfest!
My parents came to visit, and we went places.
Some friends and I built a robot.
Nico and I went to an air show.
We built a tower of Sebnoi.

Bizarre Scottish foods I've tried:

deep fried pizza: Hold a small toppingless pizza by its heel and immerse it in the river Hot Grease. It's good, but didn't taste different enough from a normal pizza to warrant the years taken off my life.
tuna on a pizza: This was really weird, until I realized it was a tuna melt. Actually, no, it was still weird.
deep fried Mars bar (UK Mars Bar == US Milky Way): This sounds completely disgusting, but it's heaven in mouth. Got Milk?
Jumbo deep fried haggis (with chips): Got Lung? It was ok. Kind of grainy. Not really that interesting.
Roast turkey with traditional trimmings: Guess what the traditional trimmings are? Sausage! Several people told me that it's not uncommon for the sausage to be wrapped in bacon, but I missed that particular freakshow.
veggie haggis on baked potato: Yum!
smoked salmon pizza: YUM! (Jeff begged for just one more slice)
banana flavoured milk: Ian would love this. It's not really banana flavored, it's banana flavor flavored. It's really gross. I was told I hadn't truly lived before sampling this vile nectar.
Twiglets: Pretzel sticks with bits of embedded marmite.
