Where the action is!

Fantastic! I'm on the conference floor right now at the NUJ's Annual Delegate Meeting. Praise be for wireless internet.

I just about survived the raging tempests outside to make it to the venue this morning - Scarborough's very beautiful Spa on the South Bay.

We've already had a telephone call from Mordechai Vanunu which was very faint, but at least the noisy delegates at the back had to stop chatting so they could listen.



I've met loads of interesting people (is there anyone Rowan Dore doesn't know?!) and we've barely even started yet. The main event for me is the New Media drinkypoos tonight where we try to persuade old school hacks how important the internet is. Or at least show them what a computer looks like. (Saucer of milk, table two...)

Charles Arthur, former Indy tech editor and blogger, will be there to tell everyone what they need to know. This is only just the beginning for our nascent New Media Industrial Council and we have a very long way to go...
