Pushing some more thoughts

October 3, 2017December 1, 2017 · Leave a comment ·

I’ve been dipping in and out of the livestream and Twitter feed for the Pushing HE conference today, and there’s a few thoughts that I don’t want to lose – they’re very ill-informed and random. Apologies in advance. Digital skills. The NGDLE talks about Universal … Continue reading Pushing some more thoughts

I’ve written a little bit before about my work connected with the mural paintings of Phoebe Anna Traquair, and this week we had a lovely gathering to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Friends organisation.

I shared a picture today on Twitter that I took last year in the Victoria and Albert Musuem of Childhood in London. Prompted to do a little more research this evening I discovered I was plain wrong on 2 counts: not 1970s – 1968 not … Continue reading Sack of lies

Today is a weard day

Today I acquired an additional role* (along with the names that others already call me, some of which I am sure are unprintable). I am now officially a Data Steward. In my institution this is defined as follows: The Data Steward is responsible for maintaining … Continue reading Today is a weard day

This week in Creepy Internet Sh1t

August 25, 2017December 1, 2017 · Leave a comment ·

This week Twitter’s creepy-a$$ed algorithms have spotted me tuning into a bit of InfoSec chit-chat on the train, and nerding it up with colleagues who care about student online presence and the like.

The photos below are my own, and a bit … Continue reading Mortuary Chapel
