A busy week for our Director of Curriculum @tobyhodges.carpentries.org, who attended the #deRSE26 conference at the University of Stuttgart!

He presented a talk on the developments around the AI Carpentry project, and also co-led two @hpc-carpentry.bsky.social-related sessions. Thank you, Toby! 🙏💙

This week on #code4thought we’re looking at a very different type of computer: analog computers. With my guests Bernd Ulmann & Daniel Thuerck we discuss what they are and what they can bring to the table today. Out on your podcast app, YouTube & codeforthought.buzzsprout.com/1326658/epis...

@bgs.ac.uk many thanks for your quick response. I'll send them an email.

Funding awarded to map the stocks and flows of technology metals in everyday electronic devices - British Geological Survey A new BGS project has been awarded Circular Electricals funding from Material Focus to investigate the use of technology metals in everyday electrical items.

@bgs.ac.uk I saw your post on a study of metals in every day devices. This is a long shot, but I wonder if I could talk to you for an episode on the #code4thought podcast about it? Regards, Peter

Indeed, there are many people who either develop software, analyse and study data or work on complex infrastructure in research. It's a broad church these days and it would be great to hear from you.

Das ist ja toll. Vielen Dank für die Info.

Oh dear, it's that time again 😀 . If you are a free & open source software aficionado make your way to Brussels.

@internetarchive.eu Happy 2026! We briefly spoke before re a podcast episode for Code for Thought about the important work you do. I understand you're extremely busy, but I thought I try to see if it's possible to find some time? I hope all is well, and thanks for all the work you do. Peter

Our journey through C++ takes us to data types & the curious world of pointers in this 2nd episode of #forCodeInResearch, the podcast for the C++ course at #UCL. My guest in this episode is Marc Hartung. Listen to it on your podcast app, YouTube podcast or uclforcodeinresearch.buzzsprout.com

What is "bit rot"? How safe are your data? Researching this for future episodes on the subject brought me to the Centre of Computing History in Cambridge www.computinghistory.org.uk where I talked to Adrian Page-Mitchell, who showed me a "decaying" laser disc (BBC Domesday project).
