You know what they say about 6 degrees of separation? Well, on Friday morning, Google Wave came up during one of our research meetings. Stuart Anderson then mentioned how he recognised Lars Rasmussen – one of the Rasmussen brothers who developed both Google maps and Google Wave – and thought he might have worked in LFCS at the School of Informatics (or the Department of Computer Science, back in those days).
Well, after a bit of Googling, it turns out he was right. Lars Rasmussen was in LFCS (see his report here and article here) back in the early 1990s along with Mark Jerrum (now at Queen Mary).
It’s a funny old world.
