I make software, electronics and 3D prints to enable people on tiny budgets to hear and record the extraordinary sounds of bats. Big fan of wildlife, of records with prominent guitars and snappy snares, and every second of the 1970s.
Somebody must have really annoyed that Noctule.

It was a really, really good presentation. Worth the cost of entry just to see the slide on "How to badly position your bat detector for truly crummy recordings" - a slide I definitely could have illustrated with my own truly terrible static detector placements.

This kills me. I didn't have enough money to go, and I think tickets were only £1.25. So I sat at home while a classmate with more disposable income went. Sigh.

He's normalising and legalising "Trump Crime" - "Hey, that's what I would do, that can't be illegal" ...

A do love an audio bat art project, but it's a shame to hear once again non-heterodyne detection described as "prohibitively expensive". Real-time time expansion is now the cheapest option - build at home for £5, buy for £60 - and "no manual tuning" heterodyne detection is incuded - www.pippyg.com

I already love this guy. Total hero.

Strangely, based on his grey skin and his flabby physique I had assumed he was a complete lardarse who would struggle to climb 2 flights of stairs. I had no idea he was actually Bruce Einstein Lee. What a dude, and I never realized.

I saw her aligning with terfy attitudes on Tw*tter in the past, which disappointed me. I had thought she was cool.

Bring it on, they will DISMEMBER him in court.

Of course his single best career move is to get the files released.

There is not enough incident energy from the sun onto the UK’s surface area to provide the energy the country uses, and wind is both unpredictable and hard to turn off. We need nuclear as part of our electricity generation recipe.

They need to just let him sue them. They will destroy him in court.

Good luck with that evil combo!

Just stick a £1.50 delivery fee on every single Amazon parcel, all of it to the government. That would raise a few hundred million a year, or clear a bunch of traffic off the roads, or both. Win win.

200 detections, six species in 90 minutes, on the last day of October. Brilliant!

After glancing through the sonograms of my recordings, I'd say 4 species - Common + Soprano Pip and 2 Myotis - plus a car's collision sensors in the church car park pretending to be a bat. Pushing them to the BTO pipeline now to see what it makes of it, it's WAY better than I am at Myotis ID.

Yes, I made 2 of these. Number 100 is outside right now, trying to determine how many bats of different species will fly past our front door tonight.

Yes, I do my app documentation in Keynote. There is nothing remotely weird about that.
