Those pesky juries again insisting our courtrooms must be empty. 42% of courtrooms not being used today. We won’t mention all the courtrooms previously closed and the sheer lack of investment….we will just blame the jury system…..

Tell your boss that I gave you the rest of the week off so you can explore this amazing interactive map showing the road network of the Roman Empire. This is so much fun to explore you can compare the Ancient and Modern road network for example. Great stuff. Your boss will

We'd like you to cancel your ticket to #BSidesLDN2025 Seriously, we do! But only if you can't come, someone else can actually use the ticket & it will not be wasted. Much effort goes into the event, and many opportunities created for all to benefit from, so don't be that person!

We're not far away from #BSidesLDN2025 Please! Tickets are free, so cancel your ticket if can no longer make the day! Many people are looking for a ticket & each unused ticket is a potential opportunity taken from someone else. Don't be that person! #Security #BSides #London

Just finished "To catch a spy" by @TimTateBooks, superb history of the Spycatcher case and its lasting impact on the UK and our security services. Highly recommended

I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair. Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them. It
