[Bletchley Park @bletchleypark]

This is Donald Michie.

Michie met Alan Turing during World War Two while working as a Codebreaker at Bletchley Park. Their discussions planted the initial seeds of Michie's interest in AI.

Among Michie’s experiments was an early learning machine based on the game of noughts and crosses, called MENACE. Restricted by limited technology, he had to be creative while pursuing his ideas. He even used physical objects such as matchboxes to help design computer programmes.

In 1983, Michie co-founded the Turing Institute in Glasgow, named in honour of his late friend. Groundbreaking research in AI continues there to this day.

RSGB National Radio Centre (NRC) volunteer Mervyn, G4KLE, a keen CW enthusiast, took on a Christmas challenge to build a fully working Morse key using his Grandson’s Lego and made QSOs on 20m from the GB3RS station at the NRC.

We certainly have thoughts beyond the scope of a dog or a cat. Why is it so difficult to imagine there are consciousnesses far beyond anything we can imagine?

[Richard Gordon @richardgordon22]

You don't need to believe in the ocean to get wet, but you do have to jump in.

You don't need to believe in the life-force energy and how it can accelerate healing, but it helps to experience it since researchers won't study things that aren't profitable.

Today marks 80 years since the arrival of Colossus at Bletchley Park. We'll be marking #Colossus80 along with @GCHQ and @tnmoc throughout the day.

The view from The Quay in St Ives (Cambridgeshire) around 11am today. Water levels slightly lower than Saturday evening. Waterbirds seem to be enjoying it. The nearby pub where the cellar flooded, not so much #stives #flooding
