Enjoying my rewatch of Enterprise. I just have one note: was it really necessary for them to be in their underwear in that scene?

Which episode? Well, urm... all of them!?

A lot of people have been describing Mando/Grogu as "fun but..." Are things not allowed to just be fun any more?

I'd come at it from the other angle. It's a mess of terrible CGI, pacing issues and a complete lack of stakes or impact on the wider story ... BUT it's fun!"

Last week, I was at the @SoftwareSaved Collaborations Workshop at the ICC in Belfast. I was delighted to be involved in so many interesting conversations and projects, but I was also there to give a lightning talk with updates on the ConveRSE project. #CollabW26

This week, we're in Belfast for the @SoftwareSaved #CollabW26. Looking forward to lots of interesting conversations with new and familiar faces.
So, I'm working my way through my Easter eggs and I just got to the Cadbury one and... WHAT IN THE SHRINKFLATION AND ENSHITTIFIATION HELL IS THIS!? One Twirl? And not even a normal packet, but ONE. SINGULAR. 🀬ing Twirl?
Brightening up your timeline with one of my favourite pictures from this time of year. 🌸
This week, we're in Manchester for the N8 CIR's Digital Research Infrastructure Retreat. It's my first time, so I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions over the next few days! πŸ€“
Spotted a rainbow on our way up to meet the other @ResearchSoftEng trustees in Edinburgh, where we'll be collaborating on key challenges and making plans for the future.
Shadowheart has clearly never tried to arrange a regular DnD game with adult friends! #BaldursGate3 #DungeonsAndDragons
