The timing of most of the Turing Festival events mean you can geek out for a couple of hours, then head off to grab an Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy gig (or whatever takes your fancy!)  The bulk of the Turing Festival events take place in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Appleton_Tower\">Appleton Tower<\/a> at Bristo Square, which is exactly where many other Edinburgh Festival Fringe events are taking place too!  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/7520_sml.png\" style=\"float:left\"  \/>The Turing Town organisers have managed to secure <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Wozniak\">Steve Wozniak<\/a> as their keynote speaker!
