  1. @gsvoss thanks!
  2. @gsvoss any good references for geek as gendered term?
  3. @Colin_GJ I agree about car colours; all like metallic tarmac, so dull today! Funny to think bright red is now a radical car colour choice.
  4. @lucyfedia aw, sorry, thought I'd mentioned it to you - I tell everyone I see who has Android phones - great work from #DTG!
  5. RT @camgeeknights: First speaker at Cam Geek Night Jun 25: Lucy Chambers from the Open Knowledge Foundation, on the data journalism handbook
  6. @PhilRodgers @lucyfedia well, so far mybustrip is less good than minibus! Nowhere to report bugs, alas.
  7. @PhilRodgers doh, I was trying with spaces like in the ad, which doesn't work at all :) found it now!
  8. @lucyfedia hmm, any URL? Searching google Play isn't getting me anywhere #cambridge #bus
  9. @KeithPWalker thought it would be here 2 hours ago - epic black cloud - but it's gone away, sunny again now…
  10. I'm speaking at @openiot on June 16th-17th about the open Internet of Things. Get yourself a ticket! bit.ly/JebHqz #iot
  11. @Peston @hmtreasury there's also wheredoesmymoneygo.org/dailybread.html for simple web visualisation of UK tax from @openspending
  12. @vijames no roof blinds here either but should be OK until lunchtime…
  13. It's possible to work in the conservatory at this point in the day :) enjoying garden view whilst I can, before retreat to shade later
  14. @frabcus super :) Glad some common ground was found where code could really help in practice!
  15. @frabcus OOI, how many doctors/nurses/practitioners were there at #nhshackday ?
  16. Until I read an article in the FT today, I had no idea that the correct nail varnish for the jubilee is tiny bunting designs on each nail
  17. RT @mala: NTK #1 was sent 15 years ago this week… the least we could do to commemorate it: tinyletter.com/annontk #ntk [Wow. 97 revisited :) ]
  18. @ammonite try @suburbman?
  19. @avsm @justinesherry hmm, i think cow in freezer lasts longer, but is just as nice as ostrich burgers :)
  20. @avsm @justinesherry At the right time of year you can buy pieces of the cows to eat. It's a great system :)
