Today, I shall mostly be…

… At Zycko’s partner event, (In)Spire. It’s an interesting conference for an analyst to be at, because it represents where the rubber hits the road for many technologies – in the channel. Bottom line: its al very well to have a great product or a world-beating position, but often, its down to a wide variety [...]

Testing out the podcast thang

Here’s a podcast to go with this article. Its a bit quiet. Spot the infinite loop.
