# Contacting the Future {#contact}
> The future has arrived — It’s Just Not Evenly Distributed Yet. [@gibson]
Unfortunately you can't contact the future, yet. While we wait for the future to become more evenly distributed you *can* contact me using the information below which includes directions to the Kilburn Buidling and parking information.
(ref:captioncycloturing) Paying homage to [Alan Turing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) at a mural on the [Princess Parkway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A5103_road) by [tankpetrol.com](http://tankpetrol.com/). According to [Jonathan Swinton](https://www.manturing.net/jonathan), Turing is the “patron saint of Manchester” [@manturing]. As a [Manchester icon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_Manchester), he is commemorated locally by the [Alan Turing building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing_Building), the [Alan Turing Memorial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing_Memorial), [some blue plaques](https://duncan.hull.name/2021/07/07/turings-house/) and the [Alan Turing Way](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Alan+Turing+Way,+Manchester/) [@turingway]

## Please Try Reading The Friendly Manual First {#rtfm}
If you're a student, please make sure you've [Read The Friendly Manual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM) (RTFM), before asking me or my colleagues. There's a good chance your question will already be answered there, in particular:
<!--[wiki.cs.manchester.ac.uk/index.php/UGHandbook23:Main](https://wiki.cs.manchester.ac.uk/index.php/UGHandbook23:Main)-->
* The Undergraduate (UG) Handbook [bit.ly/UG-handbook-2024-25](https://bit.ly/UG-handbook-2024-25)
* The Placement handbook [bit.ly/UG-handbook-2024-25](https://bit.ly/UG-handbook-2024-25)
* The student support website at [www.studentsupport.manchester.ac.uk](https://www.studentsupport.manchester.ac.uk/)
## Student Support {#sso}
If you can't find an answer to your question in section \@ref(rtfm), then get in touch. Bear in mind, I might not be the best person to talk to, depending on what you want. If you're a student, you might be better off contacting student support in person by the neon signs in the [Nancy Rothwell Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Rothwell_Building), see figure \@ref(fig:sso-fig).
```{r sso-fig, echo = FALSE, fig.align = "center", fig.cap = "(ref:captionstudentsupport)", out.width = "100%"}
knitr::include_graphics("images/studentsupport.jpg")
```
(ref:captionstudentsupport) The Student Support Office (SSO) on the first floor of the [Nancy Rothwell Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Rothwell_Building) are here to help you, they should be your first port of call. If you have something more specific about a personal, academic or employment issue I may be able to help you.

Our official postcode (M13 9PL) takes you to [University Place](http://www.conference.manchester.ac.uk/venues/search/details/?property=10) (which looks like a giant tin of baked beans) next door, so you're better of using the [what3words locations](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-49319760) [@what3words] below which are more accurate:

* See also [cs.manchester.ac.uk/about/maps-and-travel](https://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/about/maps-and-travel/)
