(And bravo to the LGA for making this open - it makes things better)
Now that summer is over and the kids are back at school, I thought I would kick off a regular online get together for local public service folk (only) to join. Last Thursday of the month, 12pm-1pm on Zoom. Sign up at lnkd.in/eVshDSw5 for free!
Nice one! Super excited to hear more about the new role and catch-up!
Hey! Is the offer still open? The team at ECC would love the opportunity :)
We found similar @jasonkitcat.bsky.social :)
Love this!
Iβve been thinking about the apps that I use, and how access to my data might be impacted by, um, current affairs. There are credible alternativesβ¦
Really enjoyed this post - the importance of white space in design - including organisations

The water made it in below the door. Thankfully stopped by our quick thinking neighbour (we were out for lunch). Quite the mop up challenge for a Sunday evening after a boozy lunchβ¦!

@gavinbeckett.bsky.social I love the whisk! I spent 4 years at uni sans-whisk (and so many other things that are apparently essential according to my son).
Screenshot of Apple App Store open with results to a search for βHancockβ.
Argh! It isnβt in the store anymore either. Disappointingly neither the βFind Hancockβ nor βmyHancockβ appear to relate to the actual Hancock.
@robmiller31.bsky.social Sweet! So many things about that app to miss. Prioritising re-downloading it today.
Oh! I did delete the app, I wonder whether my account is still there⦠and if so what my joining date is. Were we part of the first wave?

12 eggs in an egg box. Theyβre fresh eggs from our neighbour and havenβt been cleaned. The egg at the front on the left is huge.
Ouch!! We're lucky. Our neighbour keeps hens, and we get fresh eggs. Large eggs. This week one of the eggs is _extraordinarily_ large. Huge.
Has anyone installed their own instance of #Skybridge on a Raspberry Pi? Any tips/ a guide?
