Goats, Mice and More at Ad:Tech 2007

Amidst goats, mice, neanderthals and interviews, we've just had two busy days at Ad:Tech London held at Olympia.

Nigel's talk about Trexy.com went well and the cycle of search game proved to be as popular as ever. We managed to give away over 500 Trexy soft toy goats!

We were also there to promote our sister site Turbo10.com and met a lot of existing and potential partners at the show.

Ad:Tech London

We're getting ready for the London Ad:Tech conference. It will be a busy few days!

We are exhibiting Trexy and I'm presenting a talk on Wednesday afternoon.

If you're in the area stop by our booth.

Release 1,000 - Milestone

The Trexy releases just keep coming - we just hit 1,000.

But there's still more to come. We are currently working on improving our results pages so we share more collective intelligence based on the trails. We want more 'wisdom of crowds' and less 'madness of the mob' ;-)

Stay tuned for a new style of result page - coming soon!

Trexy is powered by Perl

I recently presented about how Trexy is powered by Perl at the YAPC::EU Conference in Vienna. Here are the slides:



Thanks to those who were there for the feedback and encouragement.

Flag still flying despite the Tube strike

Not even a strike on London's Underground network can stop the monthly Flag & Bell.

Despite the transport chaos, it was great to see so many people at last night's event. In the quaint and historical surroundings of the George Inn, the techie crowd enjoyed networking and a fun trivia quiz.


Keeping up with current affairs, the trivia included a question about the tube, "what is the only station that doesn't have any of the letters of the word 'mackerel' in it?" The answer, which proved to be quite challenging, was "St. John's Wood".

We hope everyone enjoyed the evening and got home without too much trouble.

Look forward to seeing you at October's "Oktoberfest" Flag & Bell, which will generously be sponsored by BondMarvel.
