FreeWay demo

One of the other demos at our stand this year was showing off FreeWay, the new communications architecture. Specifically it was showing the throughput of data through the comms stack:

Pretty impressive I’m sure you’ll agree! Mmmmhhh… 100+Mbps on my phone! *drool*

Boxhead

Come on now events queen, that joke is wearing thin. Oh, it’s not you is it? Obviously word has spread about the spinvox man and now everyone is doing it. I care not, airoporto here we come, thank you Barcelona, for another quiet, uneventful show.

Late teardown

No one really appreciates the effort that goes into putting these vast shows together. The energy expanded in construction is given an added dimension of urgency when it comes to teardown. Everyone is desperate to get the hell out of dodge and head for the nearest bar.

Crews and stand staff of all nationalities are united in this common cause, and there is a hearty sense of comraderie. This may all be in my head of course. I’m probably hallucinating the whole thing, i haven’t slept in days.
