many people have asked me how my recent trip to bletchley park went.

i went up there on my motorbike, met with bart and went round the site, finishing up having the bizzare experience of bart and me helping some geeks in the park’s computer conservation museum who were wiring an ASR33 teletype up to a linux box for public demonstration.

for the record: seven bit even parity, two stop bits, 110 baud, but we had terrible problems getting simulate lowercase input to work properly.

maybe, if we go back, they’ll let us in free. we could be the bletchley park field support engineers.
