One fort, one week, lots of food and full of geeks. (Avatar by @Han, tweets by @jaylett.)

Ten years later, @spacelog remains one of the things I’m most proud of having been involved in. An amazing group of people, and a wonderful, perfect product.

@dracos Yes, but the years we didn't run forts don't count, which goes a long way to explaining 2016 and 2017, although sadly still leaves 2019 an absolute mystery.

Ten years ago, thirteen of us holed up in a fort on Alderney and built https://t.co/xEpXgBYAVe -- still live today for some of your crewed spaceflight information needs.

At /dev/fort HQ we have discovered old ACTUAL TAPES OF DIGITAL VIDEO, one of which contains footage of @dracos reading entries from a @LandmarkTrust visitor book.

50 years ago, twenty one convicts broke out of a prison in New Orleans, it was pretty chilly in Houston — oh, and three humans were on their way to the Moon for the first time: https://t.co/gcQlIZ1I9I

@dracos Also, clearly we only eat one food per fort. Next time it will be radishes.

@dracos Amazingly, no one noticed that in the last video, five years ago — or on the website, which has been around for even longer ;-)

The last sentence is a 3 for 1: It explains the statistical drop, is very funny, and is kind of frightening.

I’m now officially looking at jobs again. Cambridge or London; likely Python or Ruby; contract or (for the right place) permanent.

@stef dies it redirect to https?

@cheeseplus @garethr @jtimberman it is. Fell free to drop an email to us if you want advice on making it happen :-)

“a great facility [with a] mansion where the band lives during the recordings. This makes everything more efficient.” Sounds like @devfort!

@richardjpope @handee Wikipedia dumps are possible to get running but fiddly. We have scripts to mirror lots but not very selectively.
