Hi All,

As some of you may already know, I've moved to Manchester.

I'll save you the horror stories of shouting down the phone at BT because I 
won't get a phone line till May now. Which means no broadband internet at home 
:( only 3g dialup (yep I'm missing my torrents/podcasts already)

But for backstage, only a little will change.

The little change is a slight emphases on doing more in the north. This isn't 
to say London and the South will be forgotten, we just want to think about the 
large community of developers/designers who are not based in the south. I'll 
also be back and forth on the non-wifi enabled virgin trains (when they going 
to sort that out?) every 2-3 weeks. So don't be surprised if I pop up at 
MiniBar this Friday for example.

Talking of which, I'll be at these over the next month.

I'll still be causing all types of mischief in the BBC and no I will not be 
applying for FM&T Director, I enjoy working with you guys directly too much and 
I hope to be freeing more BBC data in the coming months. Its becoming easier to 
convince people that it’s very important and now we're very close to a whole 
suite of api's.

I'm also having a leaving do on 26th April (right in-between the telegraph dev 
thing) if your interested in giving me a proper send off -

Ian Forrester
