Unwired web

Disappointing to discover that there’s no wireless (or power sockets) available at the conference – unfortunately work doesn’t stop when you go to a conference, so for now I’ve been relegated to my room (where there is a RJ45 connection) to get on with a few things. What’s a web conference without the web? Hmm.

On a more positive note, there was a great session on physical hyperlinks from Timo Arnall (fuzzy photo here) about his research on how people can use mobile phones to interact with barcodes, RFID and other technologies in physical space. More details about the talk here and Timo’s blog here.

XTech 2007

We’re over at XTech this week in Paris. I’ll be trying to upload as many photos as my flickr account and the hotel wireless will withstand, here’s the first – the view from my hotel room – rather uninspiring compared to rob styles’ view from Banff and www2007 last week!
