For me the idea of any kind of interface in vehicles should tend toward audio anyway. Anything that takes your attention away from the road, wether it's tactile or touchscreen is a potential distraction. Voice control seems the obvious

I did something very similar but for the price of wood from sellers here in the UK but instead of Platwright, which I'd never heard of at the time, I used NodeRED. You just reminded me, it's probably still running today :-D

I'm surprised FIFA never gets scrutinised in this was, it's an £80 game each year and to make any kind of impression you need to buy packs. I watched my son once where he literally spent what I'd given him on packs, looked at

Do you go to any of the tech events in Sheffield? I co-organise ShefPHP and sometimes go to some of the others.

If you're coming to the UK, don't limit yourself to just London, there are equally vibrant tech scenes in other cities like Sheffield (where I live), Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool and many more.

I really hope this takes off, there have been several efforts to bring PKS & PKE to the browser than have unfortunately just withered & died. WebPG ( http://webpg.org/ ) is the best implementation so far for GMail integration, and
