Dragon has just been released.
Still awesome to be able to watch this live, (while having breakfast in my pyjamas)
Panettone for breakfast.
I’m not done with #Christmas2017 quite yet.
My holiday reading stash was indeed over ambitious. Understanding Comics is absolutely incredible. Revenger a bit lacklustre. Have moved on to The Long Earth, which so far is very promising.

Since there are apparently a lot of new Mastodon users today, it's a good time to mention I've put together a list of resources for Mastodon newbies: https://github.com/nolanlawson/resources-for-mastodon-newbies/blob/master/README.md
What to do this afternoon... what to do...
So fortunate to see the Flying Scotsman making it's way across Oxfordshire this afternoon.
Happier than usual to wait for this particular train :)

Lovely clear #ISS pass tonight, and experimenting with NightCapApp's lovely new timelapse tool.

Google Photos just auto-magically make this rather brilliant 'panorama' from the aerodrome last weekend. https://toot.cafe/media/1Ni5hyp3tuHqLnMXeV8
Our birdbox had it's first ever family this year - and today, we've been seeing the first flights of the chicks.

Completed our Dyson teardown, resulting with a motor that'll be great for a dynamo, and apparently a water canon!

Hi I'm Ben,
Based nr Oxford U.K. with my wife & 2 kids (10 & 7).
Former #Physics teacher, moved to I.T. ~20 years ago, working in Healthcare IT, Knowledge Management, specialising in Dynamic Media and Dynamic Content for global eCommerce enterprises.
Thoroughly enjoy running a #CodeClub for Primary School children.
Also: riding #motorbikes, cycling (#MTB and touring), canoeing, #Formula1 and #MotoGP and exploring the world as a #family.
Setting up the core tasks on my Timeular ZEI - which fortunately was a Planned Task.. unlike tooting about it, which is a Distraction
