Carlo then explained that I come out in an embarrassing rash and experience projectile vomiting whenever I find myself in close proximity to mobile phone operators. It's ok. It's a syndrome. I've had [...]

Paul Bradley of Gemalto

My first question to Paul of Gemalto, the sim card people, was to ask when I can get my hands on a 512 or 1024mb MegaSIM. He's gonna get back to me on that. I don't think they're generally available yet — at least in the UK. My second question to Paul was to ask [...]

Bango sponsored it all

Got into the bar just past 7pm and wondered why so many Bango employees were at the event – until someone explained that the badges qualified you for a free drink. I found out after I'd put my card behind the bar and got tanked up on some coca cola. I think I got there [...]
