Had a great time - the cast were terrific, especially Marvin. Definitely better if you know something about the stories first #hhgglive

Off to #hhgglive this afternoon, dressing gown and towel at the ready

@TomF you could make one with a raspberry pi? The cameras are pretty good nowadays …

@dalelane warnings from Safari:

“Refused to execute a script for an inline event handler because 'unsafe-inline' does not appear in the script-src directive of the Content Security Policy.”

“The CSP … was delivered in report-only mode, but does not specify a 'report-to'; the policy will have no effect. Please either add a 'report-to' directive, or deliver the policy via the 'Content-Security-Policy' header.”

@dalelane i think there might be a content security policy error in mlforkids - the projects page fails to load on safari on macOS, but works in chrome with a warning.

The #RoyalAlbertHall is always a treat. And tonight especially so with #SuzanneVega

I presented at #ClubsCon25 about introducing language models to Code Clubs by getting students to build and make stuff with an #LLM in #Scratch

It was loosely based on what I was writing about in March, but was a more practical take now that I've run this in a few classrooms

This is the longest shot ever, but do I happen to know anyone (or know anyone who knows anyone) who is at Apple on their iCloud stuff? We're on day three of them refusing all emails from our mail relays for no obvious reason and their official email address is like screaming into the void.

@dalelane 👍

@dalelane sorry - missed that that’s the 6pm option! I’d be happy with either of the other two - maybe the pub?

@dalelane blimey! probably the closest and fastest food then… Wagamama’s? Is that a holiday or a work trip?

@dalelane are you going for dinner at the code club conf? There’s 3 choices - want to meet up?

@dalelane great! See you there - and I’ve signed up for the workshop too. Happy to give you a hand if it helps 😀

@dalelane are you going to the code club conference? There’s an “Understanding generative AI” talk that sounds like one of your latest mlforkids projects

@dalelane waves from St Albans! Guessing I missed you - hope you enjoyed your visit 😀

@andypiper Hope the weather stayed sunny for you too

@andypiper looks like we missed each other by just a few days!
The Burren and the Sky Road in Galway made for more photo opportunities

If you've been wondering about the claim put about by Nigel Farage & the Right that the majority in the UK receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.... you will enjoy Emma Monk's detailed takedown of that claim... a claim which itself depends on you seeing your use of the NHS & state education as 'benefits', rather than (more accurately) the public service(s) we expect from a modern state.

(and if you're not subscribed why not do so today)

Rec Room was a great place to work, but they had to lay off over half their staff, so I am looking for the next opportunity.

If you are looking for a senior graphics coder to solve all your rendering problems on any platform, either remote or in the Seattle area, I'd love to hear from you.

Picture is purely for attention, but I can drive pretty well.

We are finally ready to announce that EMF 2026 will happen on July 16-19, 2026, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire.

Expect more updates soon as we start spinning up the organisation again.
