Northern Highland #Scotland folk: if you live near a beach it could be worth looking for fulgerite tomorrow, patches of sand that have been hit by lightning. If you (very gently, they're fragile!) dig down you may find a branch-like structure where the lightning fused the sand into a kind of glass. Rare, special thing to find.

Huh! I was today years old when I realised that the mighty @libreoffice has a great tool for generating QR. In a world where online QR code generators tend to re route via themselves this is an awesome tool to find! #opensource

A positive case of Ebola virus has been identified in France. The French Ministry of Health says the patient had returned from a humanitarian mission in Congo. The man was not identified and is in stable condition at a specialized facility. Officials reported Tuesday that confirmed cases in the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo have reached 1,003, including 254 deaths. The outbreak is concentrated in the Ituri province. The French health ministry says all precautionary measures including isolation of the patient have been taken. An epidemiological investigation is underway to identify and monitor any contacts the person may have had.
