When you play around with AI Studio in Azure, and inadvertently rack up a (relatively) huge bill... #azure Least it's only £30, (when my monthly bill is usually <£1).

Working with a lot of md and Google Docs files, I love the ever increasing compatibility between them.
A!

I hardly ever used their suggested assignments. You can write your own, but I appreciate that is extra effort and worry if you are starting from scratch. Which modules are you doing?
C'mon Google Classroom - I don't want to ever ever schedule for in 24 hours time. I always always want to schedule today, in the next hour :-)
A day in four fantastic photos. 👌
Beast. 🔥 IRIX ftw. Even more bonus points that she’s on her side. 💪
Picture of VS Code showing that the Codespace is called 'silver space bassoon'.
@github.com Codespaces is my goto for programming classes. Got to love the names it gives to your VMs. 🚀
Have to say, Starlink is very impressive tech. Just had a video call with my mum and dad whilst they are in the middle of the Atlantic on a cruise with Fred Olsen. Pretty crazy as they pan around to sea all around but a perfect video call. I get crapper reception in Manchester.
Boney m I get, but interested in the thought process of buying this!
Fun, good tunes as well. Although I was only in top 20%, though it’s not my total day job (cough cough excuses)
Michael Kölling’s latest paper on Principles of Educational Programming Language Design is a great read. The whole journal has very interesting thought provoking papers. Recommended. infedu.vu.lt/journal/INFE...
Do like that programme, even if I can only answer a few questions and the rest leave me bewildered!
Chart created by Claude of Computer Studies Examination Entries 1974-1982
Examination Statistics Summary 1974-1982 (Notebook LM)
Feeling the power of NotebookLM in my research into the history of CS education in England & Wales. 'Fed the machine my copies of the ICL-CES newsletter and hey presto, pull the figures from the various issues. Then paste that into Claude to give a quick interaction visualisation of that data.
Was introduced to napkin.ai on Wednesday. Pro currently free in beta stage - give it some text, any text and it will create relevant diagrams and icons that you can use in your presentations, documents etc. Good as well if you're into dual coding.
and Replit AI is Claude Sonnet 3.5 under the hood. Claude would be $20 a month ($240 a year?). I definitely feel like I'm getting 120 dollars worth of value out of it.
Renewed my Replit Pro account for another year. For all of the negative things that they've done, it's still worth it for my use cases to pay the $120 a year. I currently have 5 apps deployed with it, for examples for classes, fast Replit access and access to Replit AI & Agent.. cont..
I just mentioned this to Mrs V, and she said "I'm literally just reading an article about search engines in the Guardian magazine and it uses that word!". I think it's a process we recognise in many things, such as Replit and news sites.

And Replit no longer has education ‘teams’ (classrooms). 👎 I use tests and auto grading in GitHub classroom and it works well, but UG level. Agree it’s more involved for secondary (Typing a command in the terminal rather than just able to press a button to run tests, + then interpreting the results)
Phone stand?
Prêt d'accomplir (Ready to Accomplish). Still the same today.
Likewise Kevin!
Great Saturday evening at the North West Computer museum in Leigh. A screening of “Micro Men” and then q&a with Professor Steve Furber.
