Congratulations to Alan Cox on his award of an honorary fellowship - http://www.smu.ac.uk/index.php/the-university/news/1792-computing-legend-receives-university-honour (http://www.smu.ac.uk/index.php/the-university/news/1792-computing-legend-receives-university-honour) . I was aware of Alan Cox the Linux developer, I just hadn't twigged that he was our EtchedPixels! An honorary fellowship from your 'home' university really is quite a big deal; well done Alan.

he's got a fellowship, he'll be expecting us to follow him to Mordor next....

Congratulations EP.
Oh I'm on the same forum as someone famous :D
Congratulations from me too.
:claphappy:
Bloody brilliant EP, it is an honour to be on the same forum as such a distinguisht learned gentleman. :greatwork:
Firstly, well done EP.
Secondly, computers and their inner workings are a bit like building a layout. Absolutely great when all goes well and a very big frustration when it's not working ! So, how do you cope with both railways and computers ?
I wonder if Al will now have to change his profile signature, to say "No I don't know whats wrong with your computer, email Bill Gates and ask him....."

From one person whose only claim to fame was being interviewed on the BBC about woodturning may I too offer my congratulations.
I do not understand much about the computing world but pleased for anyone who gets accolades for their hard work!
Regards, Peter.
