There are different start dates for spring (meteorological, astronomical etc). However, in my head, and based on the climate where I live, winter doesn't end till the middle of March. So that makes today the first day of Spring. Happy Spring everyone! Enjoy some Noah and the Whale to celebrate […]

'Gallus Glasgow' Wonderful old map of Glasgow from the 1860s with interactive data layers on old and new buildings. Love to see how the city developed over the last 150 years. https://gallusglasgow.glasgowheritage.org.uk/ #glasgow #scotland #maps #cartography

Saw some ducks on my walk today. I didn't have any food for them and everyone was disappointed. #ducks #mallard

I am finally posting some pics for the #YearOfGorse I took a couple of pics in early January, but held off posting in case I found something better. Then before I knew it, it was February. Took more pics in Feb and forgot to post them. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ So today, I'm […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Absolutely smashed my #VirtualLEJOG target this month. 😲 February being a short, still wintry month, I wasn't optimistic for my total, but the long calm, mostly dry, cold spell we had let me rack up the miles & my total for the month is 120 miles! I've now […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

What are ents made of? Flesh and bone, or of wood? I've been discussing this with @AdamStuartSmith and we don't know whether they are animals that LOOK like trees β€” like stick insects β€” or trees that are alive. It occurred to me that maybe we have some proper Tolkien scholars who know a […]

I see #mozilla have got rid of their CEO, the one who was on $7 million a year (last I heard). https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-leadership-growth-planning-updates/ Curious to see what comes next for them, as recent decisions from Mozilla management have alienated many of their […]

[nextcloud is not a place of honour] Oh no I have totally screwed up my Nextcloud contacts list I was trying to add the contacts that had accidentally gotten saved to a google account from my phone so I figured "Well heck, this software is super smart, I'll just export all my contacts from […]

Took a couple of photos on my walk this morning. Despite all the problems in the world, it's heartening to see nature offer little splashes of colour in what is still the deep of winter in Scotland. I can't wait for Spring! #nature #walking #plants #heather #scotland

Forgot to update my #VirtualLEJOG totals yesterday. In January, I managed 96 miles / 154.5km. This is just short of my hoped-for goal of 100 miles per month but I'll take it. Thought it would be worse actually, given the time of year. I'm blaming #StormEowyn for missing my target!

Hey look, @snopes is here!

We met lots of friendly locals in St Andrew's Bay, where the temperature is a balmy 10⁰C - warmer than St Andrews in Scotland! Most of the King Penguins are standing in the water to keep cool!🐧 #GlobalWarming #Antarctica #KingPenguins #SouthGeorgiaIsland @glasgowpenguins

Nearly every time I use it, I'm struck anew by just how incredibly powerful a tool the Tone Equalizer module in #Darktable is. It's saved many a picture for me! πŸ˜…

Home safe from work (and early too!) During the approx. five min car journey, we must have counted at least twenty houses with obvious roof damage and who knows how many more have lost a few slates. My boss saw a car earlier with a tree on top of it. I think the very worst has passed here […]
