I think I’ve spotted that you’ve made it to Config London too

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?

Just noticed some, 2/10 , #uksnow in CF14

Six ripening lemons on a small (2/3 ft) tree in a cobalt blue glazed terracotta pot.

Ripe lemon in a hand for scale!

A lemon sliced vertically in half

Christmas lemons! The first ripe lemon from the garden (ok, greenhouse in the garden!) - wedges in a cocktail and actually eaten raw too! Remarkably tasty, if a little tart; but very edible. 🍋

Looks like ‘expected’ behaviour to allow the reflow of the image caption to take up additional height. It’s a non-scrolling modal so it is balancing the available space for the content which is why portrait images are affected more noticeably I think.

Did you attend the @odihq.bsky.social talk last month? “Platformland: Richard Pope & Emer Coleman in conversation” … should be a recording somewhere hopefully if not.

How generative AI is accelerating outcomes in DBT How our Redbox trial showed us how generative AI can improve our ways of working.

We are continuing our journey of carefully experimenting with how AI can be useful for us in Department for Business and Trade - here is our latest update, with link to video demo for those interested. digitaltrade.blog.gov.uk/2024/11/11/h...

So, are you currently:

Apparently sufficiently common to also have shouty groundhog gif for me too!

Absolutely a context aware thing. Tread as lightly as you want and only ‘call it out’ when you feel confident it will be received in the manner you mean it.

CF14 is getting some now (ish)

Maybe - When ‘you’ see non-alt text images drop a reply in to request they add it in future - many don’t know to.

Take a few seconds to make your images accessible to people who use screen readers and other assistive devices 💛

A rep-tea-lian pet?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #325,329!

Might resolve issues of #MarkMattee though

A white front door and doorstep - without a child in uniform stood in front of it!

The mandatory doorstep pic on their first day of term hits a bit different when they are off to do 6th form 😜🥲

Looking forward to reading it.

3. Every project should have Interaction and Service Designers to give every meeting the whiff of sharpies

Not mine but tempted by:

Sudden random influx of bsky followers this morning reminding me I have an account (but no real reason as yet for anyone to bother following 😬)

Now to find where to sate the crisp news generated cravings…

American style pancakes smothered in maple syrup and bacon bits.

Large waves crashing onto the pebble beach with spray being blown far up the beach.

An ever so naughty little lunch before getting wind blasted on the Knap beach.
