Teacher of Computer Science and maths. STEM Coordinator. 3D printing, photography, fountain pens, origami and web development take up a fair amount of my time too. Hampshire, UK.
On my way to the London Autumn Pen Show 2025. Never been to something like this. I have a vague idea of a budget, but that doesn't sound promising!

Even though my twitter account has been private and unused for a while now, I've now deactivated it. Anything else I need to do to delete, or just not log back in for 30 days?

Around your area I think @martinnoon.bsky.social in case you know of anyone to help.
My 14 year-old daughter, Grace, is playing in the U16 Junior Premier League next season for Boro Rangers. She requires a sponsor. Anyone interested?

Details:
- £300
- Logo on training top
- Social media recognition at start, middle, and end of season (primarily Facebook/Instagram)

New #FountainPen received at Christmas. An Asvine P20 (medium nib, piston filler), currently filled with Diamine Noel ink. After a hard start it's writing really well. I really like how the light reflects off the blue and green body.

Creativity has been sparked with Suno song and music creation. What do you think? I haven't tried the custom mode yet by providing specific lyrics, but a good first attempt I think.

Does anyone happen to know the range of points earned by teams in the #CyberFirst challenge? I've no idea how close or far away our girls were. One team managed almost 5000 points. #gchq #caschat

I've been working on trying to utilise MS Forms and the new(ish) sync to excel workbook feature. The aim was to sync data to a master spreadsheet, but two main issues. 1, incredibly slow. 2, does not sync updated scores after marking questions in forms. Still looking for a better solution.

It was great to see the enjoyment and perseverance by the teams of girls taking on the CyberFirst challenge at lunch time / after school today! I've heard they have great plans working together during the inset day tomorrow 😀

Thanks for the tip! Looks like it's useful across other clients that use the same AT protocol as Bluesky. bsky.social/about/blog/4...

Eagerly awaiting this #3Dprint to finish of a 'Gyroid pen holder'. The material is Matte Green PLA. I can see that there will be a little cleanup work needed, but I did opt for no supports!

Some pens I use more than others, so it was time for some general cleaning and maintenance, along with swapping some inks around. #FountainPens

I've been adding feeds to my home view on here. Not sure why I didn't look sooner! 1. Followers feed - shows me posts from those who I haven't yet followed back. Perhaps they hadn't posted when they followed me? 2. Quiet posters - shows post from those I follow who don't post often.

I don't need to see posts with the red push pin, which is being used as a workaround for bookmarks. I've added the emoji as a muted 'word' and it no longer appears. I wonder whether I won't see the replies if people 'bookmark' this! profile -> settings -> moderation -> muted words and tags
