Yesterday (Sunday 6th June) saw the first NotCon, or the sequel to Extreme Computing 2002, or the British equivalent to O'Reillys Emerging Technology. But whatever you called it, it looks like everyone actually enjoyed themselves at the event. Probably the two best indicators from an...

I don't, on refelction, have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is how they are charging. They're giving limits to the number of authors and blogs you...
