I assume that’s the real Malvolio. Will have trouble with the curling though as the brush is missing from the stick.

Start a Tunnocks Teacake regular meet-up. There must be enough people.

Seems slightly unambitious when me and my name go round the sun every year anyway.

Seems to be trained on The Darling Buds of May β€œperfick”.

Is that like a ventriloquist drinking and speaking at the same time?

Delays on the West Coast main line probably.

In Darling Buds of May, Ma asks cows or Johnny Walkers for tea.

Information Accessibility Design and Policy (IADP) | A publish.illinois.edu site | College of Applied Health Sciences | Illinois

It's interesting and encouraging that this sort of educational programme exists, but this needs to be taught in every school and college, not just at university level in very few universities: iadp.ahs.illinois.edu #accessibility #AccessibilityRegulations

We had β€œspeedboats” a while back for short projects. Another sea faring or water related metaphor.

Find open data - data.gov.uk

Do you know what is planned for data.gov.uk? The post only talks about evaluating the performance of it but doesn’t mention anything about replacement, retirement or integration.

Is there a website or directory or similar of tools that don’t use AI? Search engines are being incredibly unhelpful.

Didn’t know there was such a thing. Ironic that they meet in person.

Me too. I find it a useful exercise to post some of my old pictures on here and be able to describe them well enough without going over the top.

Great alt text by the way. I keep trying to get people to write alt text.

I prefer the first one. More colours in the water and textures from the reflections, and the gondoliers are more obvious.

I think β€œpretty decent” is an understatement. That is stunning shot.

Amusing little Macbook bug - it turns out that if you plug the USB-C end of the Magsafe cable into the Macbook, it thinks the battery is being charged, Maybe it's a feature and Apple are trialling perpetual motion through power loops.

Didn’t know what one was before but now I do. Every day is a school day.

The great thing about these sorts of experiences is that you can dine out on them forever.
