Thankfully myself and Ian Bird were running late and ended up camped out
with Li drinking mugs of tea and discussing HA until about 3pm ... a bit
like we did for the rest of the day but without the tea! Seems that we had
a
lucky escape from the "pleasures" of that particular
experience...

Ah yes ... I had forgotten about the "prototype" ceiling mounted
IR
receiver. The feedback circuit was cool - very cool - a veritable
"Austin
Powers-esque" experience but I think it should have been whipped out
earlier
in the day and the prototype built in ceiling mike, compressor, limiter,
noise gate and digital eq. pressed into dervice for the HAL demo. *grin*

Erm ... I'm afraid that I have to admit that I don't actually have a URL,
web site or anything like that. Never had a need for one. I took about a
hundred pics in all which weighed in at about 288Mb so there's plenty of
crap ones in there of course - Li had been grumbling earlier on that I
hadn't taken any after lugging the thing into central London and so I made
up for it later. It took about 20 minutes to pull of the camera via USB. I
wish they had put firewire on this thing now! Not sure what the best way to
get them distributed is...

...suggestions gratefully received. (Want me to run up some CD's for
distibuting perhaps?)
