The worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said youโ€™ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.

๐Ÿ’ก Curious to learn more about data centre sustainability from a world expert who knows how to keep the techy stuff accessible? Then join us online at Green Tech South West to hear from Professor Deborah Andrews on Thu 30 March, 12.30pm.

For a taster of what this event is going to be all about...

Transitioning from a linear to circular economy is a HUGE challenge, especially with regard to electrical and electronic equipment. The data centre industry is heavily reliant on such equipment but attention to sustainability typically focusses on energy efficiency and carbon reduction.

Deborah's project, CEDaCI (Circular Economy for the Data Centre Industry), was established to raise awareness about the (un)sustainability of current DCI business practices, and to demonstrate the potential for change and improving material resource efficiency.

Deborahโ€™s talk will describe the overall project journey, achievements and challenges to date along with resources available for use RIGHT NOW! AMAZING! ๐Ÿ’š

Tech industry, please hire more writers. I can happily read docs for 3h and get much more out of them than watching a video for 3h. And while I'm watching the video, I'm making copious notes so that I don't have to watch the video *again* later to refresh my memory. If it was written down in the first place with good indexing I wouldn't have to do that. Video is such a crap way to document things.

Good snow day today. Pooch was loving it!! So was I.

Proud to have become a regular donor to the AMAZING work #ClientEarth are doing.

A non-profit using the law as a tool to tackle the worst accelerators of climate change and hold them to account (looking at you Oil and Gas industry ๐Ÿ‘€).

Something that government should be doing but alas they are mostly just as complicit...

If you haven't seen their work and you care about halting destructive #ClimateChange take a look
