Expedition - Fail
- No access. Ploughing in progress. -- Sourcerer (talk) @51.7329,.6426 12:59, 3 September 2015 (GMT+01:00)
This was not a success. If I'd been an hour earlier, it would have better. The ploughing would not have started and it would have been an easy stubble field. So I decided not to play dodge-the-plough and make the tractor driver angry. I took a photo and left.
Now I'm on the cloud WiFi at the University of Kent at Canterbury re-visiting 40 years after I was a student there.
- Back in the day, the Internet just about existed with ASCII text only.
- I learned some programming on an Elliot 4130 ("not available now"). It was a multi-user system with paper roll mechanical terminals.
- I learned how to make beer. Bought beer was too expensive for students. This is legal in the UK. Distilling is not!
