Very sorry that @Twitterrific has had its access revoked, at zero notice. It was the way that I accessed Twitter - I have no interest in using the web browser. As such this is likely to be my last ever tweet. Those interested in what I'm doing should visit my website's blog page.
Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores. Twitter’s unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no path forward. Please read our blog for more information🖖

Amused by this rather substantial underestimate in the iPad version of the November edition of Scientific American. The authors, of course, meant 10 *to the power of* 82, not 1082!

Presumably the Celtic players will be wearing black armbands, in honour of Frank, for the Old Firm game tomorrow…

So sorry to hear about the death of former St. Mirren and Celtic player Frank McGarvey. Thoughts with his family and friends at this sad time. https://t.co/oEQk8cmgHp

Frank McGarvey - once Scotland's most expensive player - dies aged 66, three months after revealing his cancer diagnosis.

2022 was great for science. The JWST deployed successfully and has produced already some fantastic images of deep space, the Lawrence Livermore lab had promising results with their latest fusion energy experiments & the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars has now clocked up 37 flights.

Really enjoyed listening on Radio 4 to the BBC Correspondents' Look-Ahead for 2023 - always interesting to see what predictions are made for the incoming year. https://t.co/P9fcvCGh1S

Utterly disappointed with my fellow Aberdeen fans for the racist abuse of Anthony Stewart. Had hoped that we were above that level of vile language. Evidently not. https://t.co/YxioFRhA1e

Aberdeen captain Anthony Stewart hints that he will take action after being the subject of alleged racist abuse on social media.

Really enjoyed reading this library copy of Blake Crouch’s sci-fi novel “Recursion”. A clever set-up and a spectacular ending all made for a most enjoyable read. A novel that would make for a great Christopher Nolan film!

Commiserations to England on their defeat to France last night. The margins between winning and losing are fine indeed at the international level! I thought that Kyle Walker was superb at right back, handling the threat from Mbappé extremely well. https://t.co/y5K9tYvmAK

Excellent range of guest editors for the Today programmes running over the Christmas/New Year holiday on Radio 4/BBC Sounds.
Every year the Today programme invites a series of guest editors to take the reins between Christmas and New Year. We are delighted to announce this year’s line up. https://t.co/PNJVw1HbJC | #R4Today

One of the unwritten laws of doing a good demo is that if something doesn't work the first time, just move on. Don't draw attention to the fail by attempting to repeat ...

Farming Today is another example of "only on the BBC" programming that we'll really miss if the Beeb's radio service is allowed to wither and die. Proponents of abolishing the TV licence fee never appear to consider the impact that this would have on radio output.
I think Farming Today may be the most informative Programme on the BBC. On climate,Brexit, budget, all sorts of policy areas and global trends you get proper detail and a sense of impact. If 0545 every day is a bit early for you -listen to the weekly omnibus on BBC sounds.

Today marks the centenary of the first BBC radio broadcast (a 6 PM news bulletin, in case you're wondering). https://t.co/atSqS5yNnQ

New research shows the BBC may have launched in London but Manchester played a big role in many early shows.

Much revision taking place by the younger members of the Hern household due to upcoming exams/tests. Am once again very grateful for the existence of BBC Bitesize as a concise educational resource. https://t.co/DlkUhfe9MW

Hard not to see this decision as @ICOnews maintaining its reputation as a "scaredy cat regulator". A fine in the order of tens of millions of pounds would have sent a strong message to industry that they needed to take data privacy seriously. A missed opportunity ...
This case forms the first step in our new approach towards the public sector to minimise the impact of fines on the public, as set out in #ICO25. Read more from John Edwards below 👇
