Live from CeBIT
I am in Hannover for a couple of days; announcing a new product at CeBIT – the worlds largest IT and technology show.
It is my first time here – and the scale is unimaginable. I was warned by colleagues about the traffic, the remote hotels and the expense – but until this morning I was unprepared.
The Novell stand is huge; with product demos; a cinema and a cafe to talk to partners and customers.
Two press meetings down; a press conference and a partner briefing to go.

Mmm – delicious
All of the food so far in Beijing has been excellent.
Last night I headed out with Laurence and we ran into the Dong Hua Men Night Market – which is renowned in Beijing.
There is a wide range of regional delicacies on sale – including lamb kebabs, pork and beef skewers and fruit.
Then there are the real specialties. In the interests of fairness – think how interesting pork scratchings and haggis are..
Starfish on a stick:
And roasted and fried scorpions, silkworm grubs and crickets:
Silkworm grubs. Crunchy on the outside, silky and velvety on the inside. That’s what my online gourmet reviewer said.
Scorpions. Crunchy with a bite. I made that one up.
Finally crickets. Fried and ready to go.
Beijing – construction
The Beijing skyline is filled with cranes.
Panoramic photos of Beijing sights
I’ve been taking pictures of my stay in Beijing – I’ve added the pictures from Laurence too.
In addition I am creating some panoramic shots stitching together many pictures to make a panorama.
The panorama is great for trying to give some feeling of the scale of the sights.
Here is Mao’s Mausoleum from a couple of pictures:
And here are a couple of pictures from the Forbidden City – still these pictures don’t give the vastness of the scale:
[For the record – I am using Hugin to create the pictures – it is free and opensource.]
