Was due to start a role on Monday @LateRooms, and now I have no job. If anyone knows of any Frontend Developer (React) positions, I can start immediately. #JustMyLuck #Frontend #Development #Manchester #React

It’s important to have volunteers, but what about the toll it takes on the business and mental health of those volunteers? bit.ly/2Z9t2Aj #MentalHealth

I hope we try to remember that a problem shared can be a problem halved, and that talking through feelings/hopes/fears isn’t a sign of weakness. Counselling apparently helps some folks enormously. #MentalHeathAwarenessWeek should be more than a week - it should become normality.

OggCamp19 Sponsorship Hunt
Hello everyone, it's been a really long time since I updated the blog so I hope you're all well. As some of you may know it's the 10th anniversary of OggCamp this year, 2019. How can it be 10 years since we all gathered in… mastodon.social/@methoddan/1…

I don’t wish any company ill, but the general consensus seems to be that there’s a ‘Kodak’ lurking somewhere in the automotive industry. My best guess would be any major OEM that isn’t showing an existing or near-future pure EV at #GIMS2019...

In November, for the 1st time ever, Scotland produced over 100% of its electricity requirements from wind power alone.
It produced 9% more wind energy that it needed & still had output from solar panels, hydro & marine renewables. No wonder Scotland is a net electricity exporter
We have some truly momentous and #recordbreaking news! 😁
In November, for the first time ever, Scottish #windenergy has produced more than 100% of our total energy requirement, enough to power 6 million homes!
Please share the news and celebrate the amazing achievement👏

This school in Denmark is being covered in 12,000 #solar panels.
RT if you think every school should get a #solarpower upgrade.

How to solve a Sudoku with a team of nine? Assign a person to each of the nine regions? Doesn't work.
A holistic view is needed to solve a Sudoku.
The same goes for software. Assigning workers to their own little piece of work doesn't magically result in a quality product.

Friendly neighborhood EMT here. Today tragically reminds of the need to learn how to stop bleeding/first aid, esp since reporters are so often on front lines of dangerous situations.
Earlier this year I put together a quick Twitter thread on the very basics of bleeding control: teapawt.net/timkmak/status/9797572…
THREAD: This weekend marks National Stop the Bleed Day, sparked when an Army SOF medic decided to see how many people could be taught basic bleeding control in one day.
I'm going to try something new: teaching a BCon class via Twitter. #NSTBD18

A Brexiter recently stated that I am wasting my time calling for a second EU referendum.
He claimed that support for another referendum is dwindling. Rather predictably he added: “you lost, get over it.”
To prove he’s wrong, please retweet if you want a second EU referendum.
