I thought all our native spiders were cute little things. Nobody told me we had swamp monsters.

@liztai
Yeah, which will link nicely into Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, if the funding is patient enough for them 🙏

@liztai
There's so much rich detail in the book that it was always going to be a challenge to make a watchable film that made sense. I think they've captured it really well, with some beautifully made scenes that really bring the writing to life. Definitely deserves a big screen 😎

Aha! Found it, and only slightly distracted by wookieepedia 😎 Wonderful!

An important practical thing you can teach a computing student is that most of the tools, techniques, and languages that will be important to their future career probably don't exist yet, so (a) they need to be good at teaching themselves new things and finding stuff out (b) it's the fun bit.

@liztai Certainly worked in his case. It's completely different to anything else I've read, and so much more interesting because of that.
