29/08/08 First-lifers At TechLudd Cork 2008

DUBLIN, IRELAND - I’m a firm believer of talking about your product as much as possible. The more people you explain it to, the more you tweak your message to improve it. Last night was the first in-person demo of our incident tracking for rescue teams app (the rest have been remote due to my travelling).

My first first-life meetings of Walter, Walter, James, Gavin, Ciara, Ashley, Donncha, Aileen, John, Pat, John & Gordon. Well worth the trip down.

Thanks to everyone for the grilling and the promised introductions!

I had a great meeting today in the hotel with some local rescue workers here in Cork, and am now in another hotel awaiting to meet some Coast Guard guys before my Sea Survival Course in the morning. The pool it’s in can simulate the following environmental conditions:

* Wave generator with variable setting
* Wind generated by large fans
* Rain sprinkler system
* Thunder and lightning using strobe lights and audio effects
* Day and night capability

Fun times!

-Robin.
