The very first stand I came across this year was LG. This was surprising as last year in the main hall Samsung dominated everything (except Sony’s wrap around screen that was impressive.) LG had a very impressive passive 3D display which was just incredible to watch, unfortunately the images and video don’t translate very well. There was nothing dramatically new …
Install motion on a Raspberry Pi
I have spent many days now looking at litterelly hundreds of ways to install Motion on a Raspberry Pi . There are many pretty simple solutions if you are using a powered USB Hub and standard Webcam.

CES 2014 It’s Confirmed! I have just received my confirmation that I will be part of the official UK Delegation to CES 2014. For the CES 2013 event there just didn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done so for 2014 there is going to have to be a lot more planning. If you don’t …
UPDATE Ghost 0.3.1 Maintenance Release
Today I braced myself to update to the latest version of Ghost v 0.3.1. To my surprise it was actually relatively simple.

Office 365 One step forward two steps back
A few weeks back Microsoft started upgrading Office 365 Tenants to the new Admin and exchange system. Whilst this comes with a few cosmetic tweaks they have once again failed to address key concerns that have been running around for the last 2 years like, Directory Sync issues and the complete lack of management if you are Federated without an …
Kickstarter – beware its addictive
For the last few months I have been following quite a few projects on kickstarter and can admit, I’m hooked. What did we do before this? Spacemonkey had me spellbound, I’m not sure why I kept going back to check on it, once you have placed your backing it is not like much can change but you find yourself wanting …
