Here is my regular reminder to anyone who needs to know:

Yes, Alan Turing was a great man, not least for his conceptual work which resulted in Colossus, the foundation of modern #computing...

... but it was Tommy Flowers, a GPO engineer (and fellow cockney to boot) who BUILT the bloody thing, designing the machine and turning the concept into a practical reality of valves, relays, switchgear, wiring and so on.

You don't have to choose, one couldn't have succeeded without the other.

#history

alembic,

More on Tommy Flowers, from wikipedia.

Colussus,, which made such a contribution to codebreaking and computing, was part funded from his own pocket.

After the war he was refused a loan to build similar machines because under the Offical Secrets Act, he was not able to refute the bank's assertion that the machine couldn't work.

Hi friends. I've written a new Forbes story - this one is about the development of aerogel-filled glass bricks, and their potential use in #architecture https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkless/2023/04/29/frozen-smoke-makes-glass-bricks-strong-and-super-insulating/ #scicomm #engineering #construction
