Well, the weather certainly took a turn for the colder today. This evening is the first time below freezing here since mid March. Clear skies mean I expect we'll keep getting colder for a while yet...

There have been a few #SAPTechEd sessions this morning that have talked about new stuff and said "please don't post on social media until after the keynote". They do know this is being streamed live around the world, right? They're not just talking to the people in the room...

UK stargazers - the Orionid meteor shower peaks tonight! 🔭
The Orionids is the result of fragments of debris left by Halley’s Comet as it last passed through our inner Solar System in 1986, and will enter our atmosphere at around 66 kilometres (40 miles) per second. ☄️

Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people
I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you
Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share?

Watching Dublin-bound flights on @flightradar24.com right now, and they are having problems! Lots of go-arounds and diversions. One flight from Birmingham got to Dublin, turned around and has just landed back! #StormAmy

Today I got a spam email from a recruiter, touting a candidate not offering me a job. There was no "unsubscribe" link in the email so I replied (the email had a personal reply to address) and asked to be taken off their mailing list.
My reply was rejected by their email system as potential spam...😡

A long, long time ago I used a thing called #TiddlyWiki (tiddlywiki.com) to keep notes, documentation and myself organised. Then I ventured off into playing with OneNote, Notion and other things but I'm finally back to TW!

Stargazers prepare for meteor shower of the year as the Perseids peak
Stargazers prepare for meteor shower of the year as the Perseids peak
Yearly spectacle, most visible in northern hemisphere, is caused by Earth passing through debris of ancient comet
It is time for stargazers to dig out the deckchairs to try to enjoy what is considered to be one of the best meteor showers of the year.
The Perseids are expected to peak on the night of 12 August, although they have been active from mid-July and will continue to be visible for a further couple of weeks. Continue reading...
