That's the end of my first #CollabW25 Collaborations Workshop. Amazing week of work on research software community matters, great people and beautiful Stirling setting. Also the largest dosa I've ever ordered for myself, and more oystercatchers than any other conference.

This might be the first feature that actually encourages me to upgrade to Windows 11: layers in Paint. Everything else I've seen looks better/same in Windows 10. (Change my mind!)

A productive few days of hacking in Köln (Cologne) to work on Bioschemas. Thanks to ELIXIR and ZB MED. On my way home now... I was not prepared for just how big the cathedral is!

I've been using this feature when transferring from Google Docs to GitHub/Markdown, it is very welcome.

Google Docs pro tip: Tools --> Preferences --> check Enable Markdown. You can write **markdown** inline with `code` chunks etc and it'll format automatically. Bonus, copy to markdown and paste from markdown.

I really enjoyed playing and singing with a range of choirs today at the Univeristy of Manchester Christmas performance. Here I am on my custom mini drum kit during rehearsal. 🎅 🥁 🎶

Yes, you can use ChatGPT to help you draft a cover letter. But you have to realize that the person reading the letters will then see the same phrases over and over. 🙄 "particularly within the X and Y projects" at the end of the 1st paragraph is the catchphrase that I've read over 5 times already

Delighted to share the news that I am part of the 2025 SSI Fellowship programme! What a wonderful collection of research engineers and other data professionals. My project is to grow a competencies toolkit for humanities, exchanging knowledge with life sciences. www.software.ac.uk/news/introdu...

@bsky.app Is there a way to request features? Suggest that your Android app has the option to auto play videos when on WiFi only. Thanks!

Yes! Alt text is useful and quickly becomes second nature to do. But when one forgets (as I sometimes do), the prompting is a big help.
