“A single photograph, scraps of circuit diagrams drawn from memory and a pile of disused components – it isn’t much to go on, but from such meager beginnings, engineers rebuilt one of the precursors to the modern computer. The Tunny decryption machine – on display at The Museum of National Computing at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire in the UK – was a feat of engineering both during World War II when it was created, and over the past five years when it was rebuilt by retired BT engineers.”

Nude House, a Buckinghamshire computer software and naturist company, is looking for coders who aren’t afraid to let a few Cheetos fall where no Cheetos have fallen before. The company would like to become
the first all nude tech business. From the article: “Company spokesman Chris Taylor told The Register: ‘As far as I am aware this is not only the first UK office job for naturists in web-coding or web-selling, but is also the first worldwide facility for naturists to earn substantial sums of money from work that incidentally provides them with the capability to work entirely without clothes.’”
