Helping people to positively communicate. With CDAC Network, but views are my own. I also like flying things, interesting waves, the Doctor, sapphire and steel.

I’ve just seen the word “intersection” used in a news article again. I fear the word “junction” with regard to road junctions may be fading away into history.

@FM_tea "We wouldn't build a new mobile phone network instead of working with existing providers. But how often do we see humanitarians building their own digital engagement space when others already exist?"
– CDAC's @FM_tea, at #HNPW with @GSMA, @REACH_info, @Refugees & @TalkToLoop

Are you heading to Geneva for #HNPW next week? Don't miss "Meaningful Digital Conversations" a session facilitated by @GSMA's @mddowner. We hope to see you there! https://t.co/9kwtk9D65v

@VMMoncrieff Very much noted!

Lots of money can’t buy you love, but it can (if you really want it) buy you a lot of other things, including the devaluation of everything else.

The UK and the EU are believed to be on the cusp of a deal over post-Brexit trade arrangements for Northern Ireland

But how did we get here? ⬇️

Communication is aid. People affected by the earthquake in Türkiye & Syria need information to stay safe and make critical decisions.

These are the communication issues humanitarian responders must prioritise right now: https://t.co/poxjtbzVyz

@GerryAndersonTV Definitely not the Fireflash. Not sure how regulators ever allowed a ‘plane to go into service that will radioactively fry its passengers if they end up in a holding pattern longer than expected 😂

@sparkyannc I’m good, still working from home with CDAC, and (very belatedly) that this means my office can be the pub (where I am now) and my delightful local French patisserie! 😜

@SangitaMyska @TomSwarbrick1 Mooching around producing coffee? Sounds idyllic! I’ll do that for free in exchange for samples 😄

@Mikepeeljourno @LucasADWebber @iAdnanAamir @NikkeiAsia Interesting reading, thanks for sharing. It’s been a while since this was on my beat, but I am surprised it’s taken this long to be taken up. Worth watching in the future.

Sometimes what you think is a UFO turns out to be a weather balloon. Just ask the crew of #skydiver! Of course, the truth is out there....

Looking forward to what is actually said here!

@jonnymorris1973 I forgotten about the episode until I read this, 😀 so maybe everyone else has forgotten who lit the cauldron too after Sir Steve Redgrave dropped it down to the ground?
