Thanks again — we’ll have a look. 😊

Hadley Beeman @hadleybeeman.bsky.social · Jun 6

Thanks, Steve. Do you know anyone there that we could speak to?

Hadley Beeman @hadleybeeman.bsky.social · Jun 6

Ah, that’s a great idea! I’ll ask them. Thanks Amy 😊

Hadley Beeman @hadleybeeman.bsky.social · Jun 6

Oh interesting! I’ll pass that on to them. We may well come back to you, thanks! 😊

Do I know anyone who publishes children’s books? A close friend has inherited several wonderful books originally published in the 1960s, and they’d like to bring them back to the world. Can anyone help?

I feel that way because of the smell. It’s 1000x more appealing than the actual taste (which I don’t mind, but… It doesn’t deliver on the promise of the scent.)

Now it’s my turn to be teary. Thank you for saying that.

Much love to you too. x

Thank you for writing this, Lloyd. You’ve captured something important here.

And I’m sorry for your loss. Our loss, but yours especially.

This is such a shock. Nick was one of the most human, funniest (often inappropriately so), and kindest people I know. He often reminds me (reminded? reminded) me that it’s not about the tech, it’s about the people. What a loss to our world. Thank you for many years of everything, Nick.

I lost a dear friend, a most generous soul.

We've all lost a fine blogger, podcaster and community builder.

Nick Booth (1965-2025)

I was going to write something on Facebook, but Nick was a blogger and so this belongs here. I heard this afternoon that my dear friend Nick Booth died yesterday after a fall at the weekend. It&#82…

Looking for good teaching material: case study from a low or middle-income country of a healthcare innovation that was successfully adopted and transformed patient outcomes. Got some old examples, looking for a recent one. THANKS if you can suggest. #healthpolicy #digitalhealth

I had that thought this morning too! You planted the idea on my head all those years ago.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social For reasons I can not fathom, American schools do teach it as “the Magna Carta”. Or at least, they did when I was a kid there. 🤷‍♀️

🚨The UKDayOne think-tank has published a major new paper by @peterkwells.com and @annapowellsmith.bsky.social on how opening up UK geospatial data – including the Postcode Address File – could unlock billions in economic value, modernise public services and foster competition. 🚨
