Sir Tim got his K in the New Year Honours list.
The previous year he got elected to the Royal Society which is arguably a more
specific hounour for a scientist.
I did think that "Lord Lee of the WWWeb" as the first cyberspace title might
have a ring to it, but perhaps it would be escalation, and engineering Lords
doesn't seem to be a tradition. Unlike Law and Church. Pity.
