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.

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

Job done! Although admittedly I had a problem with one of the microdrive leds … nothing that taking it all apart again couldn’t solve 😂
