So, at the invitation of TCS I am now blogging at you from the heart of the belly of the beast, central Brussels. I´ve already been through the EU Parliament building and am now listening to Pat Cox, ex-President of that august (augean?) institution talking about the software patents directive which is coming up for a vote in the P.

He seems to be very much in favour of it …….apparently the only thing between the utter destitution of Europe and a bounteous future is the ability of people to patent software.

I have to say I´m not convinced. More as I find out more.

Too many references and jokes about Liverpool/AC Milan though.
