A friend has been working on something that will greatly improve how accessible proofs for cryptographic protocols are, and that reduces right down to game-based proofs. Very excited for this to see the light of day soon.

Happy 99th Birthday to “Rhapsody in Blue”, first performed yesterday (12 FEB 1924). my parents had a record with that on one side and “An American in Paris” on the other… at one point I became enamored of them, playing it interminably.

• it's actually your civic duty to share Ursula le Guin's casually devastating, icily astute take down of the harry potter novels whenever you see it Q: Nicholas Lezard has written 'Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.' What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I'd like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling's writing style Ursula K Le Guin: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the "incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a "school novel", good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.
