I don't actually *know* that my late great-uncle worked at Bletchley. But the available evidence suggests he did. Here's what I know.
I inherited a few things when he died - not in his will, but just collected from his attic. One of these is significant, and linked.

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

Stopped by Bletchley Park earlier this year with @jon.inkle.co. Took a few snaps of the old machines. I love how the mechanisms work, but even after building TR-49 around Pemberton’s circuit diagrams, nothing quite lines up, even though the logic is mathematically sound and matches the Godot code.

it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

I've just returned (a little bit worse for wear) from the 40th anniversary celebration party of John Shuttleworth's career. What a fabulous night! My old comedy mate, Graham Fellows is simply one of the funniest men who ever drew breath.

If you think a seventh prime minister in ten years will magically solve the structural problems, deep malaise and febrile atmosphere caused by austerity, Brexit and social media, you're a fundamentally unserious person.

Look, I think Starmer's as much of a prat as the next guy but we can all take solace in the fact that we can call him that without risking the FBI at our door, and that he's not a senile, deranged, convicted sex offender right? Things could definitely be worse.

Much better than stealing heavy stuff like gold. This way, you have less cargo.
