I died and went to heaven.
Saturday, October 3, 2009 at 10:09AM Sitting in the new Cambridge Central Library in the cafe drinking an expresso. Yes drinking an expresso, using the free wifi, perched up high over the shoppers. This is an awesome place and a fabulous reaction to the way that the world has changed. Suddenly every library I've ever been in before feels like something from the papyrus era. I know it's had its detractors, but they have a fan here and I don't care how sad it is to get all enthusiastic about a library.
Wrestling with the Octopus
Monday, September 21, 2009 at 09:59PM My hour a day writing in the coffee shop has suddenly expanded. I appear to have unexpectedly acquired some free time. My first thought was: I can finish Songs of the Eyeless.
Hah!
It's never that easy is it? I'm going to start updating the site with more info and perhaps excerpts from the books. I'll blog the process.
Alan Turing apology - about ****** time too
Friday, September 11, 2009 at 08:33AM The BBC is reporting Gordon Brown's apology for the despicable treatment of Alan Turing. About time too. Imagine fighting for freedom from fascism and then finding your own government is just as full of hatred and prejudice. Alan Turing was not the only victim here. His talents made Britain pre-eminent in the world of computing and we should have stayed that way, but the narrow minded hatred of a few morons in Whitehall threw it away along with a few other things, our place in the space program for example.
