Hm, so Villeneuve is saying he's going to be adapting Dune over at least two, potentially more films.

What I quite liked was that when Putin was asked about Russian involvement with the nerve agent assassination in Salisbury... His comment was not "As if Russia would do this" but rather, "As if Russia would do this before a Presidential election and the World Cup."

Turned up for the Computing Forum that was today, which was meant to be a group of hte senior lecturers having a discussion with a bunch of students about what works on the Computing degrees, what doesn't work, what engages them, what goes wrong, etc....

So I got to spend an hour with the lecturers walking me through each of the units I do and talking about the good points and bad points of the course.
