I blogged about my interest in Bletchley Park, home of the Allied
code breaking effort of WWII a few weeks ago. I was moaning about the money
being spent on the London Olympics for a two week festival of running and
jumping whilst our national heritage, in the form of the Bletchley Park site,
fell into disrepair.
So I was heartened to receive news of the initiative being
kick started by PGP and IBM to get the international computer industry behind a
new funding program. The idea is to get some interest in the history of
computers amongst today's IT players and help support The National Museum of
Computing, home of Colossus and the largest collection of working computers in
Europe.
Unfortunately I was not able to attend the event held on 9th
September but will be supporting from the wings. Further details of the program
can be found at http://www.pgp.com/stationx/
Do try and drop by the website and offer some support.
