I've been thinking.

We could have a Wülferhampton AI centre. That boggy place, plus the beneficent climate, would provide the extensive water supply - ready mixed with the effluent output so characteristic of AI. I'm sure a few serfs have the odd hour free; they can power it using treadmills.

I did start looking at it again, but life got in the way. Again. Happy to host something, but it would be helpful to know what people have in mind. It'll need to not be "open access", need human authorised user registration and roles, and admins to keep an eye on it. ....

I'd like to see it happen

'For a king who achieved so much, Æthelstan is a remarkably mysterious monarch. It is 1,100 years since he was crowned the first king of England, yet he has remained surprisingly absent from the history books.' Discuss.

In his lifetime, the first king of England was renowned throughout Europe. But over the centuries, he has been sidelined by history.

I'm still the Mead Hall Memento Mori. I'm not the Phantom of the Mead Hall Memento Mori.

So there's that.

Did we keep a set boiling from last autumn, just in case the frost is too late?

I've been a skull for a very long time. It's not at all clear what I was before I was a skull, or when I stopped being it. "Seer" is entirely possible.
