Notices for 25th March 2026
Star Trek afficionados will remember the TNG episode “Remember Me”, where the crew of the Enterprise slowly vanish, as though they never existed. Reality is starting to take this form.
While waiting for the last slivers of progress with the UK power industry (if indeed they are still on this side of the warp bubble), I’ve spent a bit of time adding material to the operating system design notes section. I don’t expect to be taken seriously and I don’t expect to accomplish anything, but it’s good to get more ideas documented publicly instead of having them merely crawling around inside my skull.
