Project Architect Nerissa rightly happy while showing postgrads some of her&Dominic’s masterpiece & the possibilities of stone. From pretensioned asymmetric rib arch vaults to simply stacking up 12m single&twin structural walls. Best wishes to the postgrads/their employers

@DHLParcelUK my parcel wasn't collected because it was a "duplicate" apparently, what does that even mean? Tried to ask on the phone but was rudely hung up on!

@Cappy_Galactic Oh hi there...

[Alexander Lynes @lyneslines]

It was magical, the instant community was incredible. I did no work for that week. You should do a video.

I was actually thinking about Twitch Plays Pokemon recently and what an amazing emergent narrative that was. The kind of thing I would want to talk about in a video if I was, y'know, organised.

@Cappy_Galactic @SamuelDillon Yes, it has a everything in it, which is pretty cool I guess.

In 1999, I asked David Gerrold to write a "future of computing" prediction for the magazine where I was Technology Editor. Here's what he wrote.

@NiallCarville @abeckslondon The main takeaway is that is it done and standing. You can rest easy, we've actually done it!

@Cappy_Galactic Totally going to come and pester you on Saturday as an ex-student. Even though you're fresh from being a student!
