Received my first email about CES 2025. Admittedly it was in French and asking me if I wanted to reserve a stand for around £4K in Eureka Park. I'll get back to them.

A quick reminder that there's NO PC Pro podcast today – we'll be back next week. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine... if you're lucky enough to have any?

Took me a month from the interview to actually write this! I either need more time or to stop taking breaks/days off.
