Hi, I'm Martin and I write software. I also have a hell of a lot of stuff going through my head with thoughts and opinions on many things. Unfortunately, in this whole jumble I often fail to articulate my point of view very well. This blog is an attempt to rectify that by trying to put all my thoughts on various subjects down in one place. If you want to get in touch, email me at pilky@mcubedsw.com.

9:01am: "I'm glad you all found your way here. I want to talk to you today about our fantastic new Maps application."
9:02am: "The response has been fantastic. Here's what one happy customer said"
9:02am: "'Maps is insanely great' - Jonny Appleseed"
9:02am: "Unfortunately some people have been complaining about the quality of our maps, so I'm here to tell you our solution"
9:03am: "Radar or GTFO!"
9:03am: "Thank you for coming today, and here to play us out, U2"
9:05am: U2 have taken to the stage and started playing "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
9:10am: U2 are finishing off with "Where The Streets Have No Name"
9:16am: And that's the conference over with. Now just to find my way home…
