I really dont want to muscle in on the Julia 2018 section.
Bletchley Park - home of codebreaking and the site of Bombe (cracking Enigma) and Colossus (cracking the Lorenz cypher) is an hour’s train journey from UCL.
I’m not likely to be in the UK any time soon, but I’m a big Neal Stephenson fan, and I highly recommend Cryptonomicon as a little adventure for those who won’t get to be there.
I have not read Cryptonomicon for many years… Ooooh… a Perl script just ready for recoding in a more recent language…
I’ll read that on the flight there! Thanks for the tip!
