finally installed @vivaldi.com signed-up with my @proton.me email that a friend encouraged me to get about a year ago. Nice. 👍

Is there such a thing as a 27inch OLED or Mini LED monitor that's NOT a gaming monitor?

When was the last time you had piccalilli? I just had some on Squeaky Bean smoked not-ham, and jesus christ my mouth doesn't know what's hit it.

I want to go back to 15 and make wildly different life choices so that I end up doing cool stuff. www.instagram.com/reel/DTLM89I...

Umm, I'm not sure about Tahoe 26.2, it's feeling a few pixels too rounded.

wishing everyone at @ukgovcamp.com an utterly fantastic day in Bham today. I'm not there this year and I'm feeling quite FOMO!

umm... 👀

Some days I really miss Fringe. I just don't know why it wasn't a bigger hit.

I've started the year in a very glum headspace that I just can't shake.

I would hate to be in the shoes of any European leader right now, especially the UK. I won't pretend to understand the full consequences of de-coupling from the US, I'm sure it will have long and dangerous consequences. But we must be on the right side of history.

Colour swatching time again

Is Article 5 going to be the one true test for the current administration?

I mean, if this really is the end game, is anyone bothered? Singularity: Here’s When Humanity Will Reach It, New Data Shows www.popularmechanics.com/technology/r...

Me writing a to-do liston the day my partner goes away for a long weekend.. - repaint a room - deep clean whole house - do life laundry - 4 tip trips FFwd to Monday 'ah shit, I've spent 72 hours down YouTube rabbit holes..'

Amazon delivery roulette time. This was left in the cardboard bin that was clearly left out for collection. Thankfully I was in and managed to rescue it. Something the driver would have known had the knocked.

It's almost like the gov is influenced by people with an anti EV/green agenda.

I am LOVING the King of the North taking on Naga this morning! The constant baiting for explosive soundbites on BBC Breakfast is tiresome. @andyburnham.bsky.social - well said on everything

I've somehow become the sort of person that's excited to have a sideways scroll feature on a new mouse.

are there any such things as a promo code for #CampDigital ..

Manchester Central Library really is gorgeous

The significance of right wing press being in support of Ukraine in this context cannot be under estimated. Specifically the Mail/Heil, The ExpreSS and the Tele/Torygraph. What happened to 'sell Britain to Trump' 'Hug of hope' and 'billions for Kyiv and UK defence' www.bbc.com/news/article...

don't you just love it when your data devs say 'meh, it's just a bit of ETL, should only take an hour'. 🤦 .... 3 sprints later..... 😱 😆

The weekly One Team Gov breakfast is starting back up 🥳 Initially it'll be virtual only, from 0830 to 0930 every Wednesday. We'll use leancoffeetable.com to facilitate the discussion. The videoconference will be on Microsoft Teams. Q: Would you like to run 1 of them, please?

I really need a new early morning news program. BBC Breakfast is either too soppy or too goading of MPs, I just can't face it anymore.

It doesn't feel quite right to be relieved that the the CDU 'won' with 28% when AfD gained 20%. Especially as Reform in gaining in the UK, and National Rally gained in France. I feel dirty saying this... but the centre-right needs to get it's shit together in Europe, give people a viable right

Right, Spring you can hurry up now. I'm done with cold.

Just so much to agree with in here. Particularly points around quality and use of data. It does feel like exciting times, and for the 1st time since leaving... I wish I was a civil servant again. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Wasn't it the role of the Doge to organise the Oligarchs?

Here are some reflections on UK Gov Camp 2025 #ukgc25 www.weareserviceworks.com/blog/uk-govc... It's all about people and culture!

@stephenmnewport.bsky.social we have an NHS Hack Day coming up at Cardiff Uni nhshackday.com on March 1/2 - it's a bit different to other hackathons. Do you think you could share with your networks? Here's a great post about what makes it special medium.com/@lauren.m.be...

I’m also shortly looking for a new G6 head of digital portfolio and ops for our 48-strong digital team, DM me if interested. Leeds and London based

Wow #ukgc25, that was quite a GovCamp. I took a lot from today, especially @maltbyps.bsky.social ‘spikey’ discussion, that was a model of respectful listening and learning from others. We needed to be together in the same room, for that to happen. Brilliantly facilitated by @jacattell.bsky.social

It's here! #UKGovCamp25

Just imagine for a second what this press release might have looked like if the government were aiming for endorsements from eg the TUC and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The UK Digital Gov community, the world even, has lost one of the very best in our field. Vicky's blog posts have been a guiding light for many trying to navigate designing products that serve our citizens. To you Vicky, may you rest in peace.

Why oh why is the Gov not expressing direct outrage at the Musk v UK situation. David Lammy on BBC seemed really pithy.

I'm so pleased we're a step closer to assisted dying No one should have to suffer at the end of life.

get yourself in the room

I love this. we need a supplier in Manchester please. #ColaGaza https://aje.io/wag7dn

I have to say, I love @openvibe.social

Another week, another promise to post here more! one day it'll stick

hello again bluesky
