For some reason, Anti-Ice remains on my TBR pile, despite having read almost everything else on these shelves. Will be interested to hear what you think of it.

This is the multiverse where my semi-automatic purchases of books by Adam Roberts as they're published crosses the manifold. I wonder whether *this* Adam Roberts' readers enjoy @adamroberts.bsky.social's work. #mustPayMoreAttentionToDetail

Comic Sans on a slide. I thought that was a sackable offence?

Probably my best slide today (explaining data inheritance)

So only 14% of the teams in the local quiz I'm running next moth will get this. Maybe I need to make it easier somehow...

Another day, another example of how we're making the transition to 2D barcodes. The QR code on this small bottle if Adnams prosecco contains the solution provider's own ID and the GTIN, conformant with GS1 Digital Link URI syntax. One day, that 1D barcode can be removed, although not yet.

I'm a long way from being a fan of Microsoft Teams but *this* feature I really like. It shows you who was speaking during the meeting. I was unusually reserved in this meeting, for example. My colleague Diane was presenting and so she, rightly, said more than anyone. The blobs are also chapter marks

Search Control starring Burgess Meredith as 'Cameron'. Utter dross I'm sure but for a 10 year old it was terrific

Anyone else uninstalled CoPilot? It was installed on my company laptop by the IT dept. I have yet to find a single use for it. My only interaction with it to date is to dismiss it. Some ideas just keep coming back and back...
