Ade on a train
Very much so. Nine hours and 10 minutes on trains today, to be specific. And I’m off down to London tomorrow and Friday - lots of train-time then.
(As some may remember, “Ade on a Train” was once going to be the title for this blog).
Why was I on the train? My first meeting with a phone manufacturer, to discuss whether I’m mad, and whether I’ll be able to sell tools. The verdict? Ambiguous. Yes, there’s a lack of tools in the areas I’m developing them, yes, my tools sound good. Will I be able to get mainstream developers within licensees using them? That’s less certain though by no means impossible. But, there are other avenues for other groups of engineers within licensees, and possibly operators too, who would be very interested in a slightly different set of tools…
So, perhaps some replanning needed, but perhaps not. I’m going to start exploring the new possibilities as well as keeping going on my mainstream debugging tools.
Hmmm…. decisions decisions.
Meanwhile I am very, very glad not to be on a train any longer. At least for another 10 hours…
