Home again, after an excellent BIG Event: people even attended my session on copyright law, which shows what a snappy title can achieve. Over the weekend we met Flossie's 98 year-old grandmother -- who cooked us lemon meringue pie, which I think means she like me -- and took some video of Barry bay from an altitude of about 50 feet.

Yes, the kite aerial video project has finally happened. A few days too late to make it as an entry in the BIG Best Demo Competition, but not to worry. It was rather good fun, and something that will be repeated fairly soon. Watch out for the video, 'coming soon', as they say.
