            <h2>Qualia Computing</h2>
            <p>On the 13<sup>th</sup> of May 2020, I woke up to find an email from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-rayner-2251903a/?originalSubdomain=uk">Nicholas Rayner</a> about this project of his, Qualia Computing.
                I was copied with a Professor I had collaborated with in the past, and the text referenced subjects of our past collaboration, so I assumed this was a student asking for a final year project for their undergraduate degree.</p>
            <blockquote><p>I am Nicholas Rayner, i'm a former Ravenbourne College Interaction Design student.
                I finished the course in 2002 and since have been designing a integrated operating system
                called Qualia. Having recently moved to Manchester i have enrolled on a course in Innovation
                to further progress the design of the operating system. I am also looking for people to code the
                system for production. The idea is to design a website with the skeleton for the system;
                then have people fill it in remotely. I would be co-ordinating this via a website. You would
                be coding specific parts of the system to work together. First the build for PC then Mac,
                Linux, maybe others too.</p>
                <p>For code and web applications Qualia would follow the W3, i am trying to get them interested
                as well as the Turing Insitiute; further universities Britian wide, including Cambridge, Oxford,
                Bristol, Manchester,Birmingham, Edinburgh and London.</p>
            </blockquote>
            <p>I am not knowledgeable enough to know that Ravensbourne College
                is not part of the University of Cambridge so I just flew past
                that reference, but the start of the second paragraph was
                when I began thinking it wasn't my morning slumber preventing
                me from making sense of the email: it was in fact the email that
                wasn't making any sense at all.</p>
            <p>&raquo; <a href="/files/qualia/Qualia Computing email 01.pdf">Read the first message</a>.</p>
            <p>I sent the message around to some friends as an amusement and then forgot about it. Until the 29th of May 2020.</p>
            <h3>Nicholas, prophet of God, is back.</h3>
            <p>&raquo; <a href="/files/qualia/Qualia Computing email 02.pdf">Read the second message</a>.</p>
            <p>The saga continues.<br />Last updated: 2020-05-29 10:00 BST.</p>
