Well written and well judged. You and others in the feddit.uk admin team continue to be an exemplar.

Just back from a three day event with the dogs. They are absolutely exhausted, so they will likely sleep the rest of the day. I should do laundry.

Not crazy, but I always thought Giggleswick and Wiggleswoth on opposite sides of A65 is funny.

I ended up in a far too youthful hotel on a business trip last week. Ghetto blaster and football in the yard in the middle of the night was not what I needed. Not last night of the trip, though, as they moved to a room just down the hallway. Seldom have I appreciated my own bed as much as on return home.

As expected, the Brexit faithful and the rightwing press are already at it: unacceptable, sellout, waiving the white flag, surrender, capitulation, etc. This deal could prove to be rather popular, so the outrage crowd may find their attacks fall a bit flat.

I’m away at the moment, but I’ll try to remember to add a pic when I get back home.

I’m more of the BBQ decking, raised flowerbed for the tortoise and somehow keep the front of the house buxus alive type gardener.

The weekend was great, and we got a lot done in the garden while enjoying the weather.

These weeks just keep passing by somehow. Without getting too philosophical, it was a good one. Me and Mrs had nice walks with the dogs, a fair bit of garden work got done, and even the car got a thorough clean.

Oh, and unexpectedly the shoe army marches to Cardiff. Come on you Saints!

After having lost plenty to the coals previously, I’d suggest three key things to keep in mind:

1. Have min 20% fat in the meat you use.
2. Strain any fresh ingredients (e.g. pepper) you use really well. Water is your enemy.
3. You need flat skewers and you need to pay attention to how you work the meat in: even, no gaps, and not too thick.

It was one of the pro golfers who once said that golf is a game of luck. The more I practice the luckier I get. So there is that.

Good luck!

In the sense that there are usable qubits, and single and two qubits gates that one needs in computations, it does work. Presently coherence times are too short and number of qubits too low for practically useful computations, though.

Regardless, a lot can be learned in projects like this about integrating conventional and quantum computing. One has to start somewhere.

They’ll be implementing several updates over the coming years to push towards useful computations. The engineering challenges are formidable and the road will be long and bumpy.

I know. Mu feeble excuse is that we had so much other stuff going that I simply forgot them.
