Folks,

Sadly for those of the L-space and other worlds fans:


Sir Terry Pratchett, renowned fantasy author, dies aged 66
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31858156


For anyone steeped in computing, his development and evolution of Hex
is good reading for believing! Truer than life!!

(Apologies there on the corny puns on Conway... ;-) )

((Prior reading of the philosophy of computing and the development of
the Manchester machines is needed to appreciate all the technical
jokes and puns. Still good fun regardless of compute awareness! Also
good fun for those who have experienced the home computers era in the
UK... More cheese, redo from start! :-) ))


And for those just starting out on the Disc World... Have fun!

Sad news but for every beginning, there has to be an end, and then
there is the Disc...

Cheers,
Martin


((( OK, so doesn't compare to the multi-page TP footnotes and
recursive puns... :-P )))
