Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
The weekend of September 25th/26th in 2015 will see the next edition of ‘Over The Air.’ If I go (and right now I think I will be), I’m going to need to do something pretty darn spectacular.
The 4th annual Over the Air will be held on Friday the 30th of September and Saturday the 1st of October at Bletchley Park – for two days we’ll be based at Station X, hacking in the shadows of the WWII Enigma & Lorenz code-breakers, and hanging out at the home of Colossus the world’s first programmable computer….we’re geeking out already! Head over to OverTheAir.org for more details and how to attend. And no, I’ve not thought of a mad idea… yet.

As I mentioned in my last post, this past weekend saw myself attend Over the Air, the two day mobile development conference with seminars, presentations and demonstrations from the leading handset manufacturers, software houses and networks; a great chance for myself to mix in person with the mobile community; and of course the hackathon – where people take an idea and build their code or project in during the event and through the night before presenting it to the audience at the end of the second day for kudos (and prizes). Following tradition, everyone was expecting something spectacular from myself
The combined forces of Betavine, Lonely Planet and OMTP have come together for another Over the Air event, a very traditional sounding 24 hour hack-a-thon in London with a focus on mobile development. @torgo popped over a Twitter DM to me today and asked if I could make it (it’s on the 25th and 26th of September this year), and naturally I agreed. And have immediately started to plan… something spectacular. Just for reference, in previous events like this I’ve been involved in: Filming a fan version of the season closer to Torchwood (before it aired)… A Diet Coke and
