Has anyone been able to clear #bluesky data from iOS without uninstalling and reinstalling the app? It’s taking up almost a GB on my phone even though the app is only about 45mb

Are you curious how the climate policies of political party manifestos stack up ahead of 🇮🇪 #ge24 next week?

That’s it, done and dusted. Feels good. #xodus

I had about 700 followers on there, but only a handful were reached by my “I’m leaving” post, so obviously the algorithm wasn’t set up for minnows like me.

My take on the Ireland v Argentina #rugby last night: at least we’re not peaking in between world cups.

I don’t often write blog posts, but when I do I like to share them. My thoughts on good/bad recognition medium.com/@waynegibbon... #openbadges #badges #recognition #right #wrong #whoknows #edusky #academicsky

All recognition is good, and some is even useful.

Doing a bit of an attic clearance and came across a few pieces of work I submitted for my undergrad. We went on a lot of field trips and I have fond memories of the craic as well as the work. Here’s a geological map I made in Co. Mayo back in 1995….

Just a quick post to say “hello” to a handful of new followers. I haven’t been posting much on here at all, but maybe it’s time to re-engage. Open to all kinds of chat, but my main interests are edtech, open badges, electric vehicles, rock music, sci-fi books/movies and rugby. 🍻

I've got a micro.blog called Thought Shrapnel that's a place where I share and comment on stuff around the internet.

Some weeks I post lots of things, some weeks I post less. Either way, you can get an email digest on a Sunday morning by signing up at thoughtshrapnel.com
