What if 1 black iPad should accidentally fall,
There’ll be 11 black IPad’s sitting on the wall.

So we are all gearing up for the big relaunch of the Grant Museum, which includes a flock of iPad’s from the QRator project! It is very exciting! And its picking up quite a bit of media attention.  Here’s some links to some articles:

I’m getting really excited about the launch, fingers crossed it all works.  Steve Gray from CASA and I arrived with multiple iPad’s this afternoon, after some tweaking and wifi dodahness we (I mean Steve – I did press some buttons though) got all the iPad’s running on QRator for the first time! . There is still quite a bit to do before the doors finally open, all the lovely Grant Museum people looked incredibly busy when we rocked up with the tech.  I can’t wait to see it when its all done!
