The Sinclair QL Forum

Yesterday the Centre for Computing History posted a new film on YouTube - the history of the LEO computer. Absolutely fascinating to hear from the actual developers and users of this machine.

I'd highly recommend watching it.

Well one thing led to another and I went down a rabbit hole of related videos. This one on Colossus I really enjoyed, although I admit that the details of the cryptography soon had me floundering.

I read about that a few years ago in the IET magazine that does articles about forgotten or ignored engineering. Shame an article about the Rife microscope and machine he developed to kill viruses and bacteria that cures our currently incurable diseases hasn't been done yet. Here is more on LEO.

One article in the IET was about a Japanese scientist that worked out how the Jetstream worked before WW2 and later the military used it to drop bombs on the US. He published it in Esperanto for the international community and nobody could or bothered reading it. The western meteorologists figured it out later eventually but could have just read his work if they could read Esperanto.
