On Wednesday I spoke at the BBC Data Day – a great day, but following Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt was hard! Anyway, for those interested, here is a transcript of what I said (and some of what I didn’t, because I edited it out on the fly!) BBC data day transcript
Small details are important, although I think many people over look them. Its easy to spend hours pouring over big details, or even the small details of big things, but hours looking at the small details of small things, well, they are just small things right, so how important can they be?
