Cloudflare has gone for lunch. I've never seen this happen before.

When is it appropriate to wear a Christmas jumper? That's the conversation we're having in the Stewart household right now.

I’m visiting the UK’s National Robotarium today and have no idea what to expect. Other than robots, AI and data science. Never knew we had something like this, so it’s going to be an interesting day - thenationalrobotarium.com

Enjoying a rare moment of festive downtime and an excellent book.

Yesterday @tmiket.bsky.social asked about old tools we miss. One of mine, circa 1998, was Corel WebMaster Suite. This is how I got started building websites at 16. It even had a VRML world builder - back when we thought the future of the web would be interconnected 3D spaces you could walk through!

Working on a personal #OpenBadges project - building a backpack (digital portfolio for storing and managing badges). Making progress, but still need to figure out AI summarisation and get my head around the Open Badges 3.0 spec.

Observation of 2024: A lot of people I know working in corporate IT seem shocked and horrified when I point out there are other AI large language models beyond Microsoft Copilot.

Just received this in the mail. A brand new remake of the ZX Spectrum. I learned to program on the ZX +2 which came a bit later and had a usable keyboard, but the original Spectrum was perfect for games.

This week's Sunday film in the Stewart household is a return to an old classic. Last week's was 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' which was quite an emotional journey. What is everyone else doing today?

Christmas has come early in the #LearningAndDevelopment scene 🎄🤶

Question for my #LearningAndDevelopment colleagues: How are you handling AI use in reflective writing? Outright banned, or allowed for proofreading/structure? Here's how we're navigating it at SSSC MyLearning - would love to hear others' approaches!

I’ve set myself a goal of getting some fresh air more regularly throughout the day. It does not get fresher than this…

A few people I know here have their own websites and domains. One thing that's impressed me about Bluesky is the ability to use your domain name as your handle. It's really easy to set up and serves as a great way to verify someone's authentic. 🔒 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3O...

I'm Rob, an L&D adviser working in the Scottish public sector. Fascinated by technology, but more importantly, how it can be used to help rather than hinder people. Helping others overcome underconfidence about their ability to continuously learn is what gets me up each day.
