A is for Algorithm: The Substance of Math Not Seen

By Various frogs - July 20, 2009

I’m easily impressed by math. Grammar doesn’t faze me at all – I can talk gerunds and the pluperfect tense with the best of  'em – but I’m awed when a person casually dismisses some service or piece of software that I think sounds utterly complex, almost magic, with the phrase ‘So it’s just an algorithm, right?’

Like, er, one of the frogs did yesterday on our way to TEDGlobal.

SHEDGlobal?

By Various frogs - July 13, 2009

Before the main sessions begin on Tuesday July 21, TEDGlobal kicks off with a series of outings on July 20, and I’m looking forward to going round Bletchley Park, ‘historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during WWII and birthplace of the modern computer.’

Particularly as we’ve just come to the end of Shed Week here in the UK (no, really) and Hut 6 at Bletchley Park has just won the Hut Category in the awards for Shed of the Year 2009.
