Blognation has come to an end, and as Neville comments on his blog, sadly even the site is now inaccessible, leaving only the Google cache as a record of what was there.  It's sad, but we must move on.  I will be continuing to write here on my blog, but I very much hope to team up with some of the other talented Blognation writers again in the future.

Having been tagged by my friend Dan York, it's my turn to reveal 5 little known facts about myself:

1. I am named Martyn after my paternal grandfather, Edward Martyn Davies. Similarly, my son has the name Thomas after my father, Thomas Windsor Davies, who in turn had a grandfather Thomas.
2. My family is Welsh, I grew up partially in Wales. My family goes back many generations (on both sides) in Wales.
3. I once flew a Tiger Moth over Maidenhead (where I now work).
4. I have run three marathons, my best time is 3:57.
5. I worked in Australia at the end of the 80's, where I learned to Scuba dive.

Now who can I pick to pass the baton to? It seems every VoIP/telecom blogger I know is already in play, so I need to reach out to some of the people I'm reading in Bloglines right now:

Ivan Pope, John Wilson, Neville Hobson, Shel Holtz, and, oh number 5 just got fired

Went to a nice blogger meet-up in London yesterday. Debbie Weil beat me to the punch, see her blog entry. Neville Hobson recorded a contribution from the attendees on his iRiver MP3 player/recorder, so doubtless that will pop up somewhere in a podcast like his FIR.

I'm having a great week for meeting up with people from the blogosphere/podosphere (if those are really words), having also met some fellow Bluebox contributors/listeners at IP'06 earlier in the week.

So, Dean and Ian of voipuser.org, and Tom Cross of Internet Security Solutions, and all you folks from the Hereford Arms last night, it was great to meet you all, a real event.
