This is a project I developed for OTA11 – but didn’t feel confident showing it off. Not least because I was one of the competition judges!
Preamble Many people download BitTorrent files. There are no BitTorrent search engines which are mobile friendly. Users have to try to navigate non-mobile-optimised websites. This is slow, inefficient, [...]
Every so often I find a device which – inexplicably – doesn’t include Linux support.
I’ve been very impressed with how well Ubuntu runs on the Lenovo ThinkPad X200. Everything worked out of the box – with the exception of the fingerprint reader (AuthenTec AES2810).

The journalist Shiv Malik took a rather intriguing photo at the recent student protests.
It appears to show a group of police officers gathered around a blue box. No one seems to know what the box is for. I’m sure it’s got a rather prosaic [...]
As the Student Protests were starting outside my office door, I decided to pop down and see what was going on.
I nominally joined in and took this selection of some of the more humorous signs I found.

Beautiful video about the work Derby Museum has been doing with Wikipedia & QRpedia.
Derby Museum using multilingual QR codes from Andrew James Sykes on Vimeo.
In 2011 Wikipedians wrote and translated 1200 new articles to allow the museums objects to read in over a dozen languages using QRpedia codes.
According to faux-influence-measument site, Klout, I was influential on
Verizon Droid Stock Market Hotels
Errr…..? What? If you’re following me on Twitter for any of the above, perhaps you’d like to consider your life choices.
So, I opted-out of Klout.
Their opt-out page is full of feel-good nonsense to try and convince [...]
The “Wiki Loves Monuments” project in Russia has been featured on Russian TV. Check out the QRpedia codes!
You can see all the articles (and their QRpedia codes) – there is also a list of articles which need translating.
QRpedia’s Name
There is some confusion about QRpedia’s name.

As I start another gruelling month of blog posts for NaBloPoMo, it strikes me that I’ve had an incredibly busy year.
12 months ago, I was working at IPC Media – doing all sorts of interesting mobile stuff for them. Launching around 28 mobile versions of their existing websites.
I then went and joined [...]
