Looks like a great day for the people of Ireland today! So proud that on this issue (and marriage equality 3 yeas ago), sound reasoning, common sense and not least compassion, have won the day. Hey, UK: that’s how you do a referendum. #repeal

Anyone on here gonna be at the RAISE conference in Sheffield this September? #RAISE #Sheffield

When will the message get through?

3 headlines from a single page of yesterday's Guardian. Anyone buying a diesel car now must surely be aware of their own shortsightedness?

Time to get serious about Electric vehicles.

Just a thought....

What if the current crisis around FB resulted in a robust, reliable, transparent means of dealing with data and privacy, and a move towards a subscription service that eliminates the need for advertising? Is it possible that FB can be done "right" at this stage?

The utility that FB had for me in its early days is still something that I haven't found elsewhere. It was an unholy mess in recent yeaars...is there any way back for it?

Hi.

Anyone got opinions on Vero?

It seems to be pitched at users annoyed with Facebook's recent revelations, and it looks like the developer is being upfront that users will have to pay for the service to keep it advert free.

Anyway, I'm in there, but I don't have any connections yet. If you feel like joining it to see what it's like, look me up.

#ReadingNow

Leviathan Wakes. I'm almost finished it, and it's been very good so far. There's a related series out on Netflix now too (called The Expanse), which I made the mistake of watching. Not that the TV show is bad, but within the first half hour it had diverged from the storyline of the book, and I was getting confused. Might go back to the TV show after I've finished the book.

Any Sci-fi book recommendations??

Flickr or Instagram??

Did it! It’s been over a year since I deleted my personal Facebook account. In that time, I maintained a “work” profile so I could manage a page for my department.

Today, though, that got deleted too. It’s liberating!

I think the audio editing features are limited in Anchor, so I want to experiment a little with audio editing my microcasts. I thought the best way to do this was to share a few casts where I try out different editing apps, to see how it all goes.

In this episode I created the audio using GarageBand and Hokusai, all using just my iPhone.

Feedback welcome!

@dajbelshaw sorry, hit send before finishing the last toot! Could you double check the link and/or send it in a DM to me please? Thanks.

@dajbelshaw Hi Doug. I like your Patreon page. Just a query: the link to the rss podcast feed that was sent to me after I signed up doesn’t seem to work on any of my podcast apps.

A very rare and proud day for Irish Rugby yesterday. They not only won the championship in style, they were truly deserving winners of the Grand Slam. #irishrugby #COYBIG

@dajbelshaw @daibarnes Hi guys. Just to let you know, the audio on the latest TIDE is spot on! The tone and volume is very balanced between the two of you, best I’ve heard yet!

EV Microcast #2 just out! Come with me for a short spin in my electric car. https://anchor.fm/waynegibbons/episodes/EV-Microcast-2-e164lu/EV-Microcast-2-a2m2hc

@dajbelshaw Hi Doug. Just came across an app that your son might like (I heard you mentioning he likes making music, and his intro to your Microcast is great). It’s called NodeBeat, and it has just been made free in the App Store. It’s simple, fun and kinda trippy! I’ll most likely do my own intro with it. http://nodebeat.com/

So, here’s my first Microcast about electric vehicles: https://anchor.fm/waynegibbons/episodes/EV-Microcast-1-e15sp6
