Happygeek on the news, tonight

Anyone who is curious as to what happygeek really looks like can see the real me, tattoos and all, on Channel 4 News in the UK tonight, starting at 7pm.

They are interviewing me about the breaking news story which was posted exclusively here on DaniWeb yesterday.

For those outside of the UK, the broadcast should be available at the Channel 4 News website later.

Tell your friends, or perhaps warn them to keep the TV off...

Scrap that, they want to make it a bigger story and are running with it tomorrow night now as by the time the interview was recorded and edited they couldn't do it justice otherwise.

So watch for me tomorrow instead :)

Congratulations. But I have question why can not I access happygeek.com where I can access www.happygeek.com , Once you appear in TV, you could expect huge traffic for your website

I've been on TV enough in the past and have a high enough profile not to be too worried. Most people will type in www.happygeek.com anyway :)

Congratulations Mr.Davey. There is a problem.. we don't get channel 4 news in India. Are they broadcasting it in any other channels?

There is a web broadcast on the Channel 4 news website as linked to in the original post here. They show the full news bulletin, and there will no doubt be coverage on the website as well - hopefully with a link to us here at DaniWeb.

The film crew has just left, I had DaniWeb on all my PC screens during the interview :)

It didn't air today as they wanted to do some more filming with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK, VFS Global in India and myself.

It will now be the lead story on Channel 4 News tomorrow at 7pm, unless a better story comes along in which case it will get shoved further down the list but will still be a bug featured story anyway. I hope...

Thanks. I am pleased with it, especially as it looks like getting the national/international exposure it deserves. When governments screw up this badly they need to be kicked very hard and very openly in my opinion.

Check out th Channel 4 News website as they have the full news broadcast streamed online. I don't think it goes out live, but will be available from 8pm GMT after the TV airing has finished I would imagine. The website will also carry a news story based upon the DaniWeb investigation.

So you will get to be scared by the big ugly tattooed brute that is happygeek :)

You better be really ugly, if not I'm going to be disappointed now.
Fame and beauty. That would be too much for me. ;)
