Could you join my Cyber Security Team in auditing and providing assurance on cyber security controls around @ox.ac.uk? We're looking for someone with appropriate experience and can offer a lively and stimulating work environment. Salary to £63.5k, closes 12 Nov. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Twice a week sounds good. Small correction: Oxford has the Museum of Natural History, not the National History Museum.

I like my bosch gas hob with knobs on it. It's stainless steel and 21 years old. Quite easy to clean too. I carbon-offset the gas hob by cycling to work :-) We also have a single induction ring that I use sometimes.

Police on scene after cyclist knocked off bike in Oxford collision A cyclist was knocked off their bike at The Plain roundabout in Oxford, police have confirmed in a statement.

Once again "car and cyclist", not "car and bicycle" or "driver and cyclist". The bias in local rags like @theoxfordmail.bsky.social is incredible. I'm glad there were no serious injuries, and happy to see "crash" rather than "accident" used to describe it. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2554795...

I'm not sure I see the point in Covid testing any more unless being in close contact with particularly vulnerable people or groups. Covid is everywhere now. If I'm ill I stay at home, if I'm well I go to work. I want to avoid giving people any illness, not just Covid.

One for your diary. A very good cause. oxfordshirehomelessmovement.org/article/ohm-...

Has someone died? They are at half mast.

Yes. Completely. We made this mistake with Brexit campaigns.

Happy Black History Month. Have a look at www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk where I think you'll find some excellent reading and learning, particularly in the features section.

Recognising the rights of trans women has ZERO impact on the rights of cis women.

I care much more about doing the right thing than I care about losing votes. God doesn't make mistakes in creating people. Sometimes humans assign the wrong gender to people at birth.

The court ruling was rather more nuanced than you appear to be capable of understanding. The Torygraph headline is opinion, not fact. There is no spite in LidDem policy. Misgendering a trans person is bullying. Please desist. I've reported your harassing post.

That's Iffley Road though isn't it? I'd have a word with those driving their little darlings to certain private education providers in the vicinity.

Erm yeah, that too!

I think she was Patsy Calton wasn't she?

Wonderful to see @chrisn.xyz recognised like this. A well deserved award.

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

Yep. The hypocrisy is staggering. Most of the time I reckon the traffic at the plain doesn't add more than 5 or 10 mins onto a bus journey coming from the Leys along Cowley Road. The advantage of a bus over driving a car is that it's not dead time either. You can read, do emails etc.

One of the best debunks of populist nonsense I've seen for a long time. Particularly disappointed in my MP over this. She's normally very good!

A really brilliant fact-filled letter. Let's hope at least our elected politicians will responsibly accept the facts you present rather than continuing with their populist misinformation.

Is the text available somewhere please? Some are struggling to read it from the images.

a "Cyclists dismount sign" on a piece of road easily wide enough for bicycles.

Why are these here on Little Clarendon Street @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social ? I thought you had a policy that proscribed these signs?

Extremely loud awful music and diesel fumes are pumping in through my office window. What's the point of St Giles fair at this time of day when kids are back at school and people are trying to work?

The Lisbon funicular disaster is shocking and tragic. My heart goes out to all those who have been seriously injured or lost loved ones.

It's interesting that the number of deaths is about 1% of the number of people killed on UK Roads in a year. That's life loss as above each and every four days.

Absolutely spot on.

Often I ask the dentist not to use anaesthetic as I find a numb face for hours is much more unpleasant than a short period of tolerable low level pain. I once chewed my lip into a right mess as a child following dental anaesthesia.

It’s the question we’re all asking…

a word cloud showing the many aspects of modern cyber.

Fancy a job in Cyber in @ox.ac.uk? We are looking for an incident response lead and the deadline is only three days away. £48,235 - £57,255 with a discretionary range up to £62,407 per annum. Hybrid working possible with min 2-3 days per week onsite. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

It doesn't have any through roads so it is by definition (rather than by design) an LTN. A bit like lots of North Abingdon.

Reliance Way is on the wrong side of Cowley Road to need to be an LTN. It's a cut through to nowhere unless you're walking or on a bike or scooter. You could loop back out of Saunders Road in a car but nothing else.

Great weekly from @oxfordclarion.bsky.social but I think that if someone is arrested, goes to hospital then goes into police custody (re 21 year old driving into flats on St Aldates) they are discharged from hospital rather than released aren't they?

Spend public money on cyber risk reduction, not barefaced political campaigning for a very obviously gerrymandered proposal. That's the link.
