Understanding, interpreting and explanation seems to be my niche, historically around digital electronic and software systems. I need a better picture of myself.
It taught me to wear the club tie, and use a firm handshake, have
a certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

Excellent alt-text but how much did the rolling plains cost exactly, and one of those peeking animals sounds expensive too, or is it just a little dear. 😀

I was always fascinated by who was the producer of the amazing album Outland credited as Zeus B. Held? I assumed it was a pseudonym for someone otherwise famous or even Kirk himself. Of course Wikipedia has to take all the mystery and speculation out of life ...

Sounding like the plane is going through an automatic car wash machine. Absolutely nothing to worry about 🤞

As an example of how to deliver online government services there is the seemingly dull and plain and highly usable www.gov.uk or the similarly clean and deliberate www.nhs.uk
Welcome to GOV.UK
GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

I don’t know if this is true for other platforms but with BlueSky I can see the select 10 people who NCSC are following and discover some very interesting people who I might also want to follow and learn from.

Don’t such people get prosecuted and sentenced because it was a reasonable consequence of the decisions they took that serious harm would follow? Are Elon Musk and his board of executives no better than Piran Ditta Khan?

Are X and it’s executives in the same position as the dealer selling weapons they know will be used in an armed robbery or the driver of the getaway car or the operator of The Silk Road that hosted illegal transactions.

But then I think the Romans left their mark in so may places. I mean there is statue of the Emperor Constantine just a few miles away from me at this moment.

But then I would not trade that statue for the Beethoven in my record / CD collection.

Or would I?

So immediately I think Beethoven because of the intense beauty he created.

But then the Roman Empire covers so much history, geography and achievements.

But then nothing from the Roman Empire has entertained my mind or soothed my heart like Beethoven.

Someone wrote a strategic 5 year business plan in 2021 and is now bricking it (*) as they realise what's still left to deliver.
