This is a great article for those interested in what goes into the process of building a wind farm and some of the financing and bureaucracy.

This weekend I was on a boat trip across the full width of the Isle of Wight, from Bembridge to The Needles. It was an amazing experience and it gave us a great (and fast) view of the island. We also got to see some of the yacht racing as Cowes Week has j…https://t.co/CwkCHWBXjH

I'm now on the come down from the Turing Fest conference, as my brain starts to weave its way through the nuggets of information and experience shared by the presenters.

I was really struck by the quality of the presenters this year. Of course the organi…https://t.co/ObEkxqZ9yq

Day 2 at the Turing Fest conference and my brain is still processing yesterday's information.

I particularly enjoyed April Dunford's talk about positioning and crafting a sales story. Maybe I just enjoyed the toilet humour, but I'll definitely read her b…https://t.co/fmubtibo3l

Something different at the Skyscanner stand at #turingfest. This is actually what I wear on holiday. https://t.co/1FejDW4XqJ

Today I'll be at the awesome Turing Fest conference in Edinburgh, my favourite event of the year. It really does get better every year and I'm excessively excited about the talks.

There are too many sessions to see, but they record the presentations so I…https://t.co/gam67f7Xqt

Be cool, drink extra water and stay safe out there. We train our staff to spot dangers, speak up if they see something that isn't safe and they have the power to stop a job if safety measures aren't being observed. That includes when they don't have enoug…https://t.co/H1QoOgMIwM

I think I'm supposed to say "it's not about the destination, it's the journey that counts". But when you're going on holiday it's hard to live by that mantra.

The good things for us is that the scenery in Scotland is worth the effort as we travel through…https://t.co/es7Sj95J58

There's a heatwave warning in England and it's raining in Scotland. It's not heavy rain, but it's also not the summer sunshine that we hope for.

I sometimes wonder if I should have settled somewhere warmer and sunnier.

That said, water is pretty importa…https://t.co/BoPvF4kexA

The Dall-E Mini tool has been rebranded to Craiyon after the original Dall-E 2 creators asked them to change their name to avoid "confusion".

I think everyone is still a little confused about what Dall-E is all about, so this is more about intellectual p…https://t.co/zswKpYLzRo

Programmers imagine the most ridiculous ways to enter a phone number into a form

I keep coming back to this article because it's funny, and very, very serious.

I went down an internet rabbit hole over the weekend because I was curious. AWS has data centers, lots of them, but where are they? I know that there are "regions" and "availability zones" and "local zones" and "outposts" but those are just ways to simpli…https://t.co/HyYY590D88

Developers are awesome, but sometimes they are too close to the code and not close enough to the user. That's ok, the code is where they work best, but it's also important to help them get closer to the user when the software and user meet.

The picture i…https://t.co/LI11Q4tFFR

We had a gathering of the software team yesterday, we work remotely now so it's great to see people in real life from time to time and especially important for the new members of the team.

I couldn't get everyone into the picture, so sorry to the ones no…https://t.co/dwkIaVfrJl

The perils of leaving the house and spending the day in the Cyberhawk office. My study gets "decorated". It's hard to be annoyed when the perpetrator is so cute.

Daniel Djiann doesn't know that I'm going to do this, and I hope he doesn't mind.

At Cyberhawk have a "fundamental of the week" to help remind us of our values and help shape the company. Last week it is "show meaningful appreciation".

One thing I always ask our team is, what would happen if the service you want to rely upon was stopped overnight? How easy would it be to swap to another service or vendor?

What if the open-source libraries that you're using stopped being supported, beca…https://t.co/9UqJ0ExUL1

Keep dreaming up your crazy ideas! So many people try to sell a cool solution that is still looking for a worthwhile problem. Internet technologies are full of nice ideas and cool concepts that don't actually have a real-world use or end-users (feel free…https://t.co/ibqyJstQE6

If you live on the side of a hill in a windy city then it's mandatory to get a kite. It's amazing how humans are enthralled by anything that flies, especially if it was built by a human.

I guess it's because we can't fly, so somehow if we can control som…https://t.co/egoK79WZvD
