I am afraid, when I go diving - if there was no water, it wouldn’t be as fun.

The news of Horner’s sacking was unexpected but I am afraid I just can’t have any respect for him after his lies. Sure, he has achieved some fantastic things - but at what cost to the team long term?

Also, notice how he didn’t thank drivers in his post?

On Tuesday I drove to @thorpepark.bsky.social - and was very pleased to just pull into a ev charging bay, and pay significantly less then I would at the services to charge - sure it took longer, but I didn’t care as I was on a roller coaster.

How Ofsted looks at AI during inspection and regulation How inspectors consider the use of AI by providers, children and learners during inspection and regulation.

New from Ofsted: AI won't be inspected directly. But if students or staff are using it, leaders need to know how, why and what the impact is.

The biggest risk? Doing nothing.

Get to know the tools. Audit the risks. Take responsibility.

Just showing off my beautiful step daughter on her prom 🤩

This morning I have a doctors appointment. I literally have no idea why. I’ve had all my regular ones, and this has been in my calendar for weeks, but I can’t find a message about it. Was about to write it off, and then doctors sent me a reminder. So who knows what it is for 🫣😂

Spent the day at Google UK HQ today. Always an interesting event.

It’s good, but let’s not get carried away, it’s just so it meets the legal requirements.

I wouldn’t worry about that - it’s just key to renew before that date or leave. I had the same, and now I pay £10 less a month then I did before as had an offer to renew.

This sport throws up great quotes all the time but Lando Norris saying: "I've done that before, in Mario Kart," after watching a clip of Max Verstappen deliberately driving into George Russell in the cool down room is a clear all-timer.

10 seconds? What a joke.

And this is why Verstappen is such an idiot. Just so out of order.

Is education in the UK drowning in technical debt? And, if so - what are the main reason for it - and how do we go about settling the debt so we can move forward?

I have put together a short blog post with some thoughts.

Oh no. Nico is ‘commentating’

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job, training others. Here we are configuring edge routers and @smoothwall.bsky.social for redundancy

Sorry to hear that buddy

I don’t think so. I watched it for the first time in years today, normally ignore it - and it’s a procession. Was there actually any overtaking on the track? Audiences watching TV get nothing from this one, and it seems neither do the drivers.

This was a very interesting episode to record with Chris founder of @edugeek.net - a platform I have used many times to get me out of shit.

Albon is performing incredibly well, which is great to see in a revival of Williams!

Sorry but the commentators on Sky are trying to make up stories which just don’t exist. Not a touch on Crofty and Martin.
