Back from #ODCamp and Edinburgh. Had a wonderful time with great people; gave a talk on #Wikidata, attended great #opendata sessions; had several walks in the sunshine; and even managed to upload a few photos to #WikiCommons for 2025's #WikiLovesMonuments.

Proud to be the originator of "Open Charlatans Register" at Open Data Camp (@odcamp.uk) today.

Brilliantly captured here by @drawnalism.com's Royston!

Thanks to @lukasz.langa.pl for a great talk at #APUG tonight. We had a great turnout at the refurbished @codethecity.bsky.social HQ, the #SoapFactory!

I'm sure @afc.co.uk fans, and @celticfc.bsky.social ones will find #Grok's take on this recent transfer very amusing!

#Aberdeenshire was looking lovely today. A view of distant #MitherTap from Drum on #Deeside.

The noisiest aircraft I've ever heard over our house.

A #USAF #Boeing #C17a #GlobemasterIII flying into #Aberdeen, presumably to pick up #Trump 's circus vehicles.

This scene, off the Deeside Line, near Duthie Park in Aberdeen, called out for a deep mono treatment.

Alcoholic cat!

My son's cat, who loves straws, and an Aperol Spritz.

Delighted with this shot of a heron mid-river. Taken on my Samsung S24 Ultra with 10x optical zoom.

A great talk, and a subject close to our hearts at @codethecity.bsky.social #opendata. And in this case, open data in the energy sector, managed by the North Sea Transition Authority. #NTSA
