ISOC event Geneva
I’m in Geneva for 4 days, attending an ISOC event called GlobalINET. An Internet conference.
Workshops are taking place on Saturday and Sunday and Internet Society chapters from all over the world have send delegates (I’m representing ISOC England) to share knowledge. It’s the most collaborative conference I’ve ever been to – just sitting and listening isn’t an option!

New electric hybrid bus
This new No.19 has an electric diesel engine and is known as a Hybrid. The diesel engine cuts out at bus stops and traffic lights and it pulls away on its electric motor. The diesel kicks in seamlessly after a few seconds.
Should mean less pollution on our streets.
The rattle of the diesel dying at bus stops still feels as though the passengers are all about to ordered off the broken down bus.
