By Day I work on the Linux side of DNA sequencers for Oxford Nanopore, but this is my personal twitter and every (dull) thing I say on here is my own opinion ;)

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

Hot take... If we need to move everything to electricity to achieve carbon neutrality, cars boilers etc, why not make that dirt cheap instead of forcing people to "buy more stuff"

Who wouldn't move to electric heating if it was cheaper....

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

I am always super proud to be working for @nanopore, we do amazing things... But the geek inside me is just stupidly happy we have our own pokestop 😍😍

@mipsytipsy Speaking from experience, i love helping and mentoring but hate managing and task driving

So I can definitely see how people focused managers would gravitate towards things like that

Focus on your strengths without having to constantly mitigate your weaknesses 😳😁😁😁

@iiSeymour Back to magsafe gets a huge amount of love from me 😁😁

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@cynthiagibas @nanopore We are always happy to help :D

@bankes1989 @BellaItalia_UK They phoned me twice, clearly because I'm special.....

... And maybe because I booked 2 tables for Sunday evening (old people and teens at separate tables ;) )

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

Personally I have no interest in football, but I love that I got a call from @BellaItalia_UK to say they are closing their restaurants early so ALL their employees can watch the match or just have time off. I think that's an amazing thing to do and should be celebrated 🥳🥳

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@WSLTP I always just ask "what do you love doing?" or "what makes you smile?" to give them a chance to talk about things they think are cool :D

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@pathogenomenick I had one a while back on a dating site, so I asked what do you think of turtles and got back "turtles are amphibious creatures, but that's no what I wanted to talk about" ... so close but so far and obviously hadn't been introduced to blade runner 🤣

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@Gaohmee Brilliant question 😁

I would have 2 answers
One I enjoyed working for the most
And one I arguably did better work for (because of how I was pushed/pulled)

I guess I would probably mix the two, but that's kinda cheating and probably not even possible 🤣

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@hpcprogrammer @ipapadop I think it's because once you are separated you would rather cut your own arm off that record yourself as married 😁

And you are not allowed to say divorced

@DerekLandy You just have to out run your problems long enough for the lion to catch them and not you

.. and if all else fails, distract them with cheese 😁

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@Gaohmee I think people do this with any job they don't do, but think they can. Like writing, after all everyone can type 😂

Two friends who took a computer game course quit because it was "all maths and physics"

If you think the solution is easy, you dont know enough about the problem

@UridiumAuthor My favourite error is still 'no keyboard detected, press F1 to continue' 🙄🤣🤣

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@karengillan 100% @maisiehpeters .. I've been listening to her since so appeared on you tube, incredible voice and lyrics/music perfect for uplift or heartbreak 😍

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@mipsytipsy That is now one of my favourite life mottos, not just a tech comment 😁

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@evolutionalgd Good luck, you deserve a great game company to work for 😁

[Gareth Brown @Howling_Mr_G]

@alanrenouf Wait you are finally goong back to 'just reality'?
