I hot day in Perth today. Sent this days hiding at home working on up-tooling my coding. VS-Cide, GIT, UV - getting with the program!!! And yes adding a little AI help to coding too!!

I took the normal approach to not shareing much about the job I have had for the last 2 years. But I have decided this year its time to talk a little of what its like. I was voted by my Colleagues to be the Chair of the Academic Board, the peak academic body of @uwanews

I am proud. We just passed the 5th anniversary of the @UWAnews Emeriti Professors College. Been a real journey that contributes to an amazingly talented group of wisdom holders. Love it when idea's come to success. alumni.uwa.edu.au/emeriti-coll...

Do remember I am across three channels, X -@marctennant, BlueSky [email protected] and Mastodon - @marctennant.c.im I've been away for a good while (6 months) but are planning an "all-new" return

Any ideas? Crystalographers are encouraged to reply!

This is the same in aged care - national standards are disconnected from reality. I would argue that national standards be it child care , hospitals, aged care, are a failed regulatory model. They have been captured by business. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When is a recall not a recall? When it is fixed overnight with a software update?? Maybe the law needs to redefine some of these parameters??? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Love visiting a building that the same designers as one I was part of designed. All the parallels. Makes me want to go to more.

I dont promote things. I know the maker of this shorts reel on youtube. www.youtube.com/@Forkenife_ Lockie you are a genius!!! Great video's!!! Make more mate!

SHocking news in Australia. Three police shot - 2 dead. Awful. still searching high country for Culprit.. An awful days events.

WOW - what a very interesting risk associated with brain monitoring. The risk of reading inner speaking. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Dont leave it to familes to have to break the law to show mistreatment of elders. Stop forcing people to be criminals when all they want is proper care provided with care. Start a CCTV trial just the same as in childcare!

Can the same CCTV trail be run in aged care! Its the SAME. Highly vulnerable people and to much history of abuse. Get a trial going at the same time. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yep - twice in 2 weeks now... What have I done? 1. Two-factor authentication - ON. 2. Password safe - ON. 3. Massive random password. Just do modern basics.

Today I rode my bike behind an electric bus for first time. No diesel fumes no black smoke. All I heard was sound of tires on the road. How far we have come in one generation.

Woops - (try again with arrow this time)

And if you get to the essence of why the government was finally brought kicking and screaming to the fact there was a problem. It was a movie! Thank goodness for creative arts - they make a difference! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Substitute the word childcare for agecare and reprint - ITS THE SAME!! Its a TOTAL MISTAKE for profit and care to be in the same sentance. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Absolutely needs to be, too many horror stories that could have been prevented with this.

Agree 100% These measures must be brought in immediately.

Aged care should get the same. CCTV - global mandate. Protect our young and our elders - and people at risk. Yes, needs really controlled viewing (not left to organisations/businesses). www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Lets not forget AI also has amazing opportunity to add great good to the world too. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/m...

I never thought the day would come on a POTUS birthday I would be seeing a massed military parade with the leadership hidden behind 2inch thick bullet proof glass. This is not what I ever expected in the USA.

I am migrane person, less as I get older. I found double strength coffee, two pandadol and a LONG shower with hot water on neck and head was a winner. Interesting in other tricks. www.bbc.com/news/article...

So having to wear N95 many hours every day. Always preload on two glasses of water before hours of wearing masks.

No words from me... :(

A really moving meeting. Indigenous health. @uwanews

I spoke to a new Australian this morning. They were amazed that polling places were not surrounded by the military with tanks, etc. HOW LUCKY ARE WE!!! Vote with peace and passion. Both can co-exist - we are a good nation.

He does set the gold standard! YES www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Read this please... This is a wonderful article. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Enter with a stretcher and an armed escorts... Yes - seems logical to me. We need people like this the super experienced wisdom of an elder in a tough spot. His evidence and recommendations are 100% worth reading - despite being traumatic www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

NO!!! Face the full force of the legal system! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Look at the values this person rates Australia so highly for. Read them. Care for them and make them our global stake in the ground! We are here for humanity, people of all histories. We do NOT need (nor want) extremeism. Care for our country, our nation! www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

Undoing the sales of government infrastructure to private companies just means the tax payer pays twice!!! DONT privatise PUBLIC ASSETS. Full stop. Lets not speak of northern beaches hospital as another example! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Thank you to the BOM for terrific data. Always the best!!! Near real-time evaporation data! www.bom.gov.au/watl/eto/tab...

What a complete shambles this is! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... And it is the same in aged care. We are failing our vunerable family members.
