@impq.bsky.social at Judas Priest last night I saw at least a dozen doppelgangers of @kirkie.bsky.social including one on the stage.

Final phase of reorganising my various websites was to strip all of the non-shiny app content from milton-the-cat.rocks so that it now hosts only my shiny apps. There's not many, but it has the following delights:

One of my masters students just gave me this as a thank you for supervising. What an awesome gift! I’m a little emotional right now🥹

Lovely day at eddfest yesterday. My final maiden gig for a while. True to the absent minded prof trope, I managed to be unaware of the @impq.bsky.social Meetup, but bumped into them anyway. A marvellous surprise!

Lots of negative reporting around Maidens Paris show, which had no encores because of an earlier power cut. My take: 1. Gutting, but the right decision to skip encores because Mariner/7th son probably won’t get played beyond this tour but aces high/FOTD and wasted years probably will.

Tonight, for the second time in my life, I’ve been at an iron maiden show where the venue power completely blows mid-set.

The press want you to believe there are violent protests in Brighton today. Counter protesters outnumbered the Fascists by many thousands. We sang, danced, and waved inflatable bananas and hearts in the name of tolerance and diversity. Fascists not welcome in Brighton.

A truly great book! And we’re not just saying that because our #easystats packages are in it. Although, of course, that’s (a small) part of the reason why the book is so great. 😎
Publication date looms ever closer ... physical copies exist (at the @sagepub.com London office, I await my own copy with excitement).

Woohoo. Finally arrived. Excited to get into it. The plan is to support students using either R or SPSS in my future course.

Fun times at the University of Sussex today where we all received an email at the end of the working day to tell us whether our jobs fall into the ‘at risk’ category. University of Sussex plans to cut 200 jobs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trade union Unison says the cuts will only heap "strain and uncertainty" on the staff who remain.
