Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Down Escalator

The poster ads on London Underground’s many escalators are being replaced with electronic display systems. The installation process seems to leave some of the screens looking like this - Windows config dialogs. Looks like each screen has it’s own PC running Windows behind it.

Most of the other screens were running a complex screen saver with a magic number showing in the middle of the screen.

All together sounds like a maintenance nightmare.
