I'm working on a web page commemorating Ken's Turing award and am wondering if anyone has a copy of his lecture in a text format; i.e. not the PDF of images from the 1981 issue of Communications of the ACM, which I have. I'm currently typing it in but it's going to take a while. Fortunately, for the web page, I'll initially need only the introductory section, which I've already entered. Part of the difficulty of entering it is the APL character set (surprise) but I've decided that the APL385 Unicode font will do for this. Interestingly, one of the first "special" characters was _not_ a standard APL one - it's the double-headed arrow for "equivalence". In any case, I would like to get the whole lecture up in a more searchable form. Thanks, [[DevonMcCormick|Devon]] |
Discussion / To-do
This page is supposed to hold to-do lists as well as any discussions about pages, tasks, ideas.
Discussions on what the BAA London group meetings are, what they might be, and how they are run were moved BAA London and RunningBAAlondon in May 2009.
With reference to the main thesis of FunWithText it crossed my mind that perhaps it was the other way round and that it was in fact King David, God's amanuensis for the writing of the psalms, who also wrote Shakespeare.
