Memories of IBC2011
It has been over two weeks since my heady five days at the RAI in Amsterdam, the first without construction work for the first time in quite a few years. As always there was an awful lot of catching up with friends and ex-colleagues, but there was a serious amount of tech fun to see [...]
Blackarrow Consulting at IBC2011
IBC has rolled round again and we will be enjoying the delights of the RAI – hot dogs and Coke Lite that are almost as expensive as Inkjet Printer Ink (that is the most expensive thing by volume on the planet I understand) – for the 14th year in a row, over the coming days [...]

The interesting thing will be whether this will be in the connected home sense. What I mean by this, is a full in-home/out-of-home multi-vendor, standards based ecology [...]
