There's a public lecture next week at the University from Ted Nelson,
the main who coined the word 'hypertext' which the 'ht' in 'html' and
'http'.
He is very frustrated with the way much of the computer world has
developed, and is always a very engaging speaker. If you're free next
Monday at 6pm this is a rare opportunity to see one of the most
important names in the history of computing.
Oh, and there's a possibility of biscuit if you get there for 17:30 (it
says "refreshments")
