A big THANK YOU to all the staff at @HIEScotland for donating to the @HighlandCross

[Stuart Black @StuartBlack_HIE]

Well done to @april_conroy and #DaveRudge of @HIEScotland who raised over £400 with today's #bakesale for the @HighlandCross Think we all need to do it now to run off the calories!

[April Conroy @april_conroy]

So proud of this project

[Orbex Space @orbexspace]

Great to see that our home spaceport in Sutherland has been fully approved. We're pleased to have helped design this facility & looking forward to launching contracted customers on Orbex's re-usable space launch vehicle from the UK's 1st orbital spaceport. https://t.co/PdlvRBjFxW

@compoundchem So thunderstorms are good for plant growth because they generate nitrates? Or is it a bit negligible?

[April Conroy @april_conroy]

@UHISTEM @ThinkUHI We will miss you both. Good luck in your next steps

A sneak peek at a hypercurie nozzle (left) vs. std Curie. Hypercurie is our latest spacecraft engine, it’s Electric pumped, on orbit storable, non toxic and It’s perfect to get payloads to the moon and..........Venus!

@uk_baz @craig88 Oh thank you @uk_baz I'll try that today. The event timestamp data is really odd. It's not always sequential. It doesn't translate to a date and time. Very odd. Definitely ready to stop staring at these numbers and try something new.

[April Conroy @april_conroy]

@craig88 do you know how the #eventstamp works with #makercode i'm trying to make a time gate with a #microbit but the time between gates is a 6 digit number. It's not milliseconds. My last result was 328706 for triggers less than a second apart #weekendproject

[April Conroy @april_conroy]

@craig88 On it. Ta
