Ross Anderson is a very clever guy and a good lecturer - he was one of the authors of the "Chip and PIN is Broken" paper. Indeed, when demonstrating my group project (no, that's not me presenting it but yes, that is my HD2) earlier this year he seemed quite interested in the details of the project and I enjoyed explaining it to him and justifying our various design decisions while reflecting on the difficulties we encountered. Here Stephen Fry interviews him about the Y2K bug. Enjoy!

In a few days I will be returning to Cambridge and software development and posting here will once again slow to a snail's pace. I thought I'd share two interesting Cambridge-related audio slideshows published by the BBC today:
- Stephen Hawking
- Blake's 'Informal Panorama'
Both have entertaining endings.

Also, this deserves just a quick mention - it's related to my last post.

I'll get straight to the point. I got the necessary results to have my place at Fiztwilliam College, Cambridge, confirmed. To make it even better, I applied in the last year that the Cambridge Application Form (CAF) was required by the university, and I will be around for the 800th anniversary. Sounds like fun.

Anyway, I apologise for the lack of posting and development lately. As well as having to fill out a mountain of forms and accept congratulations from many people (some of whom I barely know - but I'm not complaining) as a result fo the above news, I've been dealing with yet more requests.
