In other tenuously interesting news, managed to get a new phone case that is my sensory nightmare. Why must it be velvety 😡 Not sure it helps with the whole 'reducing the amount of dropping my phone on the floor' thing

Gave my dog friend some food as a peace offering after all the frights I've been accidentally giving her. While her human is happy, she hasn't quite forgiven me 😔

Someone at work was apparently rude to me earlier on our company portal. My family is so passive aggressive I genuinely had no idea. Apparently I've learned to just phase it out.

The BBC and the NHS both seem to be things that people will defend from those outside the UK, even if they acknowledge both systems are flawed. It's a strange kind of patriotism in a way

That does look bad but otherwise I'm pleasantly surprised at the split. Looks like they're clearly trying in other demographics though

It's SO good

I DIDNT GO THROUGH THREE YEARS OF A PHILOSOPHY DEGREE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIBBLE OUT PISS POOR HALF-BAKED THEORIES OF MIND ABOUT A HUGE FINANCIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL CON

NO IT FUCKING CANNOT

Oh cool!

Genuinely really good day. Overall I really like Manchester (though to be fair it was a flying visit). The yellow buses and bees everywhere are particular highlights (plus everyone has been friendly).

So glad the government waited until most of the social housing data nerds were away in one place to release the latest TSM report.

We had a guy from the police and I may have not so subtly called them out due to AI ethics given the police's reputation. It sounds like they're using it sensibly so far (and on back office stuff only), but am still wary of scope creep. Also this was a smaller force, god knows what the Met do

Wondering if I'm at the point in my career where I actually feel competent now. It helps that a newer member of the team is here too and is a first timer and I've been here 3 times now

Thank you for reporting it! So many people don't and just expect them to psychically know about it. Happens where I work too, very annoying.

Want to read in the break but the book I'm reading is a bit spicy and the font is huge due to my bad eyesight. May risk it, will get me out of conversations later on.

I did it! I networked! And asked multiple questions that didn't sound ridiculous. #wildeatconference

Conference day! Find these so interesting but as overwhelming. Realistically nobody does anything after all the networking so I don't see the point personally.

Before anyone thinks I'm judging, I am sat alone watching a Twitch stream. So y'know, I am probably an easy guess.

I do enjoy playing 'spot the data geeks' at the hotel bar. Much harder this year than the time the conference was at Silverstone that's for sure

God I love Afflecks. This is what the old Debenhams in Bristol/Bath should be

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Nobody deserves to have things stolen, but if you own incredibly expensive things of national importance, maybe take a cyber security course every now and then?

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

Manchester bound for a data thing. Looking forward to exploring this afternoon, never been this far up north (in England anyway)

Ooo what's the book? I think I missed the whole going outside thing, I was ready to pack it in around 21

May have nodded off during choir. The jingling of the bells was not enough, alas.

Unfortunately not, I very much looked like a drowned rat at rehearsal! Thankfully I at least looked dry by the concert though

Well I literally slept all day. Oops.

I have spent all day in wet concert dress as it tipped down (and I got lost. Again.) This is the first time my flat is warmer than me, so pleased
