Really enjoyed showing @MishalHusain around the ACF yesterday. Reminded me that we need to get better at talking about why supercomputing is important. Thank you @BBCr4today

What does a supercomputer look like? 🖥️ @MishalHusain explores the Advanced Computer Facility near Edinburgh, which is used by thousands of researchers, and where there is hope of a new and more powerful supercomputer to replace the old one. #R4Today

@DiversityTravel your website's down and there's no way to report this on your website. I phoned your "emergency" number but that only does offline bookings apparently. Please fix it.

Very pleased that @EPCCed has been chosen to host the UK’s first Exascale system for @UKRI_News: see gov.uk/government/new…. The project can now move forward at pace!

Really enjoyed speaking to @GeorgeFreemanMP when he visited @EPCCed and @ARCHER2_HPC a few weeks ago. Unusual experience being interviewed by a Minister!

@kieranleach About 80% are still readable. The problem is more mdv1_ which can be quite temperamental. Am considering replacing the capacitors on the mdv control board …

@mark_epcc Properly impressed the microdrives still work - how much media do you find is still good?
English
Job done! Although admittedly I had a problem with one of the microdrive leds … nothing that taking it all apart again couldn’t solve 😂

Repairs for my Sinclair QL this afternoon - new keyboard membrane … and yes the microdrives still work 🙂

At the opening of the Leonardo pre-Exascale supercomputer in Bologna this morning. Congratulations @Cineca1969 and @EuroHPC_JU

#SC22 is officially over. You’ll never find anything again in the crates @adrianjhpc ….soz

7.5 hours later and the @EPCCed stand is finished. Not the same without you @adrianjhpc … but we have fixed the door 😀

@adrianjhpc @simonmcs @Supercomputing @EPCCed Me building the stand? What can possibly go wrong. Really sorry for you Adrian!
English
@simonmcs @Supercomputing Thanks. @mark_epcc has very kindly volunteered to take over building the stand with the help of the @EPCCed people who will be there. I'm sure they'll do a better job than I do anyway! I'm gutted to be missing @Supercomputing though, first time since SC04...
