| Synopsis |
In March 2007 Jeremy White packed up his laptop and travelled to Nepal where he organised the base camp for a successful expedition to the world's highest peak. His talk explores the ups and downs of trying to use computers for managing an expedition, keeping a library of photographs, updating web sites via satellite, staying in touch with home and keeping the team entertained. There's practical advice for travellers anywhere as well as lessons for IT pros. He might even show a few of his "Holiday snaps". |
