Previous talks

The Edinburgh Multi Access System (EMAS) at Kent Part 1

Bob Eager

with Bob Eager

The Edinburgh Multi-Access System (EMAS) was used on the ICL 2960 mainframe at the University of Kent from 1979 until the hardware was retired in 1986. This talk will cover trials, tribulations and some interesting technical details - with a sting in the tail!
 

Live Action Text Adventure

Dan Bard

with Dan Bard

Remember those old text adventures from the early days of the internet... well let's throw out the green terminal and limited command set as we dive into a world of adventure where 'I'm sorry I don't understand that command' will never be uttered! Join us for a text adventure turned interactive group experience where the story is controlled entirely by you. Try not to be eaten by a Grue!
 

Data Needs Testing Too

Ron Ballard

with Ron Ballard

On 28 August 2023 a faulty flight plan brought Gatwick to a standstill. The application had been working for years but the data was bad. You can test your application, but you never know what data will be thrown at it. This talk is about testing the data.
