    At the risk of reo­pe­ning this debate, which to my dis­may seems to have gone to DEFCON III over some fairly minor points.
    At the Copenha­gen Geek Din­ner, the Nue­vo­lu­tion cards were all I had on me. I apo­lo­gise for being pro­fli­gate with them, but in my expe­rience it’s just one of the things you do when you meet peo­ple for the first time — hand out busi­ness cards, if you have them. And for good­ness sakes, it’s a busi­ness card with a logo on it, which in my world is about as inno­cuous as it gets. I have gathe­red a huge collec­tion from my 10 years wor­king in Lon­don, many of which are asso­cia­ted with happy memo­ries of peo­ple, pla­ces and events. I tend to make notes about people/events on the back of the cards (whe­reas Hugh makes art out of his :-) . Nue­vo­lu­tion, by the way, has no inte­rest in spon­so­ring anything like CGD : it’s a bio­tech com­pany, and I just work there as a labo­ra­tory rat (well, sys­tem admin, but same difference).
