Camcycle@camcycle.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe were at the Cambridge Science Park today talking about all things sustainable travel! 🚲🌱 We loved hearing about your experiences of cycling to work and your fantastic ideas for making it even better. Good to see members, cyclists and people who are thinking about giving it a go!

Fun weekend tutoring Northumbrian Smallpipes at Halsway Manor. Although I confess that I didn't necessarily nail all the triplets in "Madame Bonaparte" - the traditional end to the tutors' concert... (I blame Andy)

Just found this trio of old photos of me with my first full set of Highland pipes. I hadn't quite grown into them!
There are some similarities of course - bellows-blown, and closed fingering - as well as (hopefully) an evocative sound. There are common ancestor pipes in I think about 1800 or so.
Edric Ellis@edric.org · 6mo agoMy pipes are Northumbrian smallpipes - you can't play Uilleann pipes standing up!
Looking forward to this tonight!
Squeezy John@johnspiers.co.uk · 6mo agoMorning everyone! My tour with Spiers & Boden starts today … what could be a better way to begin to blow away the February blues than an evening of high-energy folk? Ticket links from spiersandboden.com/live-dates - check to see if there are tickets left for your local show.
200% on the bastard cousin that is the M/D format.
Wardy™@tdward.bsky.social · 7mo ago100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY format.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
I'm doing some Border piping for Burns Night - Tickell Arms in Whittlesford; Royal Oak in Barrington; Cock in Hemingford Grey. All on the 25th. Yes, I'll be busy!
First artists announced and tickets now on sale! Come join us 31 July - 7 August 2026. Line-up so far: sidmouthfolkfestival.co.uk/lineup/ Tickets: sidmouthfolkfestival.co.uk/tickets/

#MATLAB R2025b has dropped - a quick intro to the new desktop. R2025b delivers quality and stability improvements, building on the new features introduced in R2025a. Thank you for all the feedback you provided to make R2025b possible. If you are using R2025a, you should switch to R2025b.
We're playing in Cambridge on October 8th at Newnham Croft club, together with The Doghouse Collective and The String Section.
Job alert! I know a lot of #HPC people follow me here so if any of you are looking for a new gig, maybe this one at MathWorks is for you. lnkd.in/efa8iPkZ You don't even need to know any MATLAB...we can teach you that. Your HPC/parallel chops are what we are looking for.

I deliver High Performance Computing workshops in MATLAB for free! If you are at a University in the UK and would like a similar session to the one Manchester had, let's talk.
UoM Research IT@uomresearchit.bsky.social · 12mo agoThank you to mike Croucher from #MATLAB who visited the University recently to run a workshop on supercharging MATLAB. What would you like to see future workshops cover? Let us know!
