The Centre for Computing History has attracted sponsorship from across the Atlantic. Brad Feld, an early stage
investor and serial entrepreneur, has made a surprise financial contribution to the museum’s Cambridge relocation fund.
Colorado based Brad is one of the managing directors of Foundry Group, a venture capital firm focused on making investments in information technology, Internet and software companies across North America.
It was at a Business Springboard event in Cambridge that Brad first heard of the Centre for Computing History. Museum trustee, Jason Fitzpatrick delivered a short presentation on the major fund-raising initiative to finance the relocation and subsequent foundation of a world-class Cambridge Computer Museum.

Time for a rant…

As im not in a particularly good mood today, there are many things bugging me… I just wish Room 101 was real. Here is whats bugging me today. Most of this happened when I went into Peterborough this lunchtime.

  • People who wear jackets in hot weather.
  • People who don’t stop at zebra crossings.
  • Electric wheelchairs who charge at you full pelt expecting you to move.
  • “Would you like a catalog?” people who wonder the city center streets trying to get people to sign up
  • People who stop you to ask you to sign up to donating money to charity. I can barely afford to feed my own family, let alone others!
  • Too many Big Issue people in such a small place. I think Peterborough has more Big Issues sales people per square mile than any other town. Well, except from Cambridge I would guess.
  • Why do Dell send a DVD copy of the server preparation CD when there’s not a DVD-Rom drive in the server.
  • People who forget passwords every other day! You know who you are….
  • People playing music on their mobile phones so everyone can hear. It sounds $hit, so turn it off!
  • Chavs. No explanation needed….

Im sure I can add more rants as the day goes on.

Grrrrrr…..
