Following our acceptance to talk at OGN30, we have begun work on some slides. It don't half focus the mind into making things make sense to the outside world. As a sneak preview - the *key* slide *might* look a bit like this:
You may (should) know about this already, but it's a thing that we only saw a month or so ago and have stuck some details in place on scanpi. As you do; humans.txt for scanpi.
Comments as always welcome via the usual channels.
SCANPI has confirmed an opportunity to talk to you all at Oxford Geek Night number 30 (http://oxford.geeknights.net/). It's upstairs at The Jericho Tavern on the 13th March (the date will be updated on the OGN website within the next day or so).
We're in the microslots and are now discussing what will fit into the 5 minutes allocated. If there is something specific you want to hear about, shout (or whisper) into the comments.
Barcode inventor (Norman Woodland) dies. Should I rename SCANPI in honour [or blatant questionable marketing manoeuvre?] to NoWo, NorWoo, NorJos, NoJo, or NoJoWo? Votes as you feel like it to the comments.
Amazon gives digital version free. If you bought the CD from Amazon (They are also somehow remembering the past 10 years worth of your purchases) - you get access to the MP3 version from their cloud. Catch no 1 = 250 songs for free in their cloud? Catch no 2 = If you were gifted the CD then the gifter gets the MP3 copy? Catch no 3 = If it didn't come via Amazon at all, then obviously you don't get those ones. This *could* however form the basis of a 'scan the barcode to get the MP3' - a reasonable extension to where we're going with SCANPI? Perhaps. Once more, votes and comments in the box below as you see fit.
