I always enjoy Tech Pitch, but going along last night was especially good. Great pitches with some super quality start ups and meeting some great people too. A thoroughly enjoyable evening out on the whole.

The evolution of the iPhone
So it looks like I’m moving to iOS8 today
My iPhone 6 is due for delivery today. So it looks like I’ll move to iOS8 by default. I’m still resisting moving on my iPad Mini, but for my iPhone I think I have no choice. I’ll be letting you know about how I get on and what works and what doesn’t. In some ways I’ll miss my iPhone 5. It’s done well over the last two years even though it does have a defective battery which needs changing.
The two main things I’m looking forward to are having more space as I’m moving from 32 to 64gb, and having a phone where the battery doesn’t deplete in around 2 hours!
Let’s see how that works out. More later.
Edinburgh Fringe: The Canterbury Tales
This was a great production of the Canterbury Tales. Only a part of it of course as the show was only an hour and a half I think. But it was very well done by a large group of teenagers who I’m pretty sure I saw last year doing The Agamemnon, which was incredible.
They’re certainly a group who I’d see again.
It’s National Poetry Day!
I had no idea at all! But it is for real. Today is National Poetry day, so I think I’ll celebrate by reading some of my favourite poems and poets a bit later on.
Also, the Poetry Library has launched a new eloans scheme so you can get audiobooks and ebooks of poetry from them wherever you are. I think I’m going to take advantage of that very soon too.
