My daughter and I volunteer at the fabulous Kielder Observatory - we were there on Sunday night. The Observatory is recruiting an astronomer/science communicator. It's an amazing place, and I heartily recommend it. Do share this if you can: https://kielder.space/careers/

Weird convergence of circumstances means that catching the fast train beyond my stop and coming back on another train meant I arrived before the train that I’d originally missed. #TrainLife

Finally, Lime Microsystems - for whom I write the monthly MyriadRF newsletter, for full disclosure - has launched a new entry in the LimeSDR family of software-defined radios: the LimeSDR Micro.

No FPGA on-board, this time, but an NXP baseband processor with neato vector accelerator instead.

Thames Water wants to be allowed to dump sewage without fines until 2030, while passing costs on to customers and continuing to pay shareholders. Erm No! Here’s the petition: https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/bring-thames-water-into-public-ownership-now

Bring Thames Water into Public Ownership NOW

😡 Thames Water wants to be allowed to dump sewage and not pay a PENNY. Right now, they're trying to force a deal so they can dodge fines until 2030, while customers foot the bill. This isn’t right. Join me and sign the petition now:
