Congratulations!! Well done. You and your colleagues have been working
very hard since we last had contact, when you were a virtual student on
the first run of the PPS course last year.
I have copied this to the people on the second run of the PPS course, as
well as to Peter Murray-Rust.
I remember well your delightful enthusiasm, and also how you suddenly
unsubscribed the PPS lists for a week in the middle of the course to go
away on holiday for the Chinese New Year !-) We were honoured to have you
involved, and now it is very endearing and a great pleasure to be able to
see your picture for the first time, and also those of your wife,
colleagues, your institution and your work.
All strength to you all, and I wish you and your new server/service every
success, and long life. Great achievements!
The power of the 'Net to bring us together is impressive.
I hope one day we will meet IRL
Best Regards,
Alan Mills (.sig below)
