Palaces of Gold

Still remembered in "Palaces of Gold" - was lucky to hear this performed at the recent Martin Carthy celebration gig. open.spotify.com/track/3MVkke...

The song "Bobby Shaftoe" was used by the politician of that name in the 1760s.

We saw "Thin Lizzy" in 2008. Ridiculous. (I mean - they were pretty decent - but really not what anyone would expect "Thin Lizzy" to be)

My current favourite is to make banana pancakes. One over-ripe banana+flour, milk, & baking powder makes one big fluffy "American"-style pancake.

Congratulations to England's Red Roses, the women's rugby world cup winners. A superb effort over six weeks and deserved winners.

#MATLAB R2025b has dropped - a quick intro to the new desktop.

R2025b delivers quality and stability improvements, building on the new features introduced in R2025a. Thank you for all the feedback you provided to make R2025b possible.

If you are using R2025a, you should switch to R2025b.

Job alert! I know a lot of #HPC people follow me here so if any of you are looking for a new gig, maybe this one at MathWorks is for you.

You don't even need to know any MATLAB...we can teach you that. Your HPC/parallel chops are what we are looking for.

Radiation and Reason Dr. Wade Allison taught and studied at the University of Oxford for over 40 years, where he is now an Emeritus Professor of Physics. His two books,…

One of my undergrad Physics tutors has written a couple of books on this stuff - the relative non-dangerousness of nuclear power is so amazingly at odds with public perception. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energ...

I deliver High Performance Computing workshops in MATLAB for free! If you are at a University in the UK and would like a similar session to the one Manchester had, let's talk.

Petrol stations should not be allowed to display any branding. Instead, like tobacco, they should be plastered in massive grim pictorial health warnings, and only show their company name in a small nondescript font underneath.

London Has Officially Been Named Europe’s Favourite City For Cycling – Overtaking The Likes Of Amsterdam And Paris Helmets at the ready, folks; London has just topped the charts as the internet's favourite European cycling city - and we're feeling wheely proud.

πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ London has done it.

We’ve just been crowned Europe’s favourite city for cycling, a fantastic recognition of the progress we’ve made to make our city greener and more accessible for all. Our cycling boom is good for Londoners and is putting us on the map for cycle tourism.

We visited a couple of years ago and found the place and people to be lovely, despite the awfulness of their Taskmaster version.

Loved this band (at least until Mustaine went completely nuts).

Hmm Amazon have them, but you have to get the extra spicy ones too, which are a bit much for me.

Pulparindo are my favourite, haven't had any in ages though... Mm, spicy, sweet and salty.. (The optics department at Imperial had loads of Mexican people there when I was there in the late 1990s. They always used to bring back those - plus tonnes of chillis)

MATLAB Online was updated to R2025a!

My favorites - syntax highlighting and live preview of markdown.

What's yours? blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2025/...

We muddled through, missing our third piper (laid low with COVID - which traditionally one contracts during the festival, rather than before)

American military cargo plane flying low over our campsite making many of us think we were about to die. After it became clear that death was not imminent, our neighbour shouted "fucking hell" very loudly, a sentiment we shared.

Just seen the Red Man here in Sidmouth... dressed entirely in YELLOW! (Unless it is simply that he is approaching *extremely* quickly)
