When I tell people what I do they often say that my geography must be very good. I guess it is, but it could be better. So I set myself the challenge of naming France's 10 longest rivers as a test. I had 7 correct and a near miss at 13th, so I'm happy with that. Can you reach 8? #maps #cartography

A fascinating map to make, seeing how few towns were in Lancs, Yorks, West Mids and South Wales. Everything changed come the Industrial Revolution with it's mines and mills.

I asked AI to make a font, based on a single character. However, AI doesn’t seem to know the alphabet. As someone recently commented on AI - Put it back in the oven. It’s not done yet.

"The rocks were rubbed last night, so they're running just that little bit faster". I find myself nodding along, like I have the faintest idea. #WinterOlympics #Curling

Today on Bluesky. “Swedish AI pharmaceutical company Pharmaicy is selling code-based drugs to get AI systems like ChatGPT to mimic the feeling of being on drugs” I have idea what this means.

I had amends for one of my maps from an academic. I couldn’t understand why I got some locations wrong, having plotted them according to his co-ords. Now I have different co-ords for the same sites. “Please forget our misbegotten coordinates. AI still has some way to go, I guess” I despair.

I really like the Oxford Clarion which doesn’t get enough mentions when people write about local news startups.

Oxfordshire County Council has clarified that the Ghostbusters hearse would not be exempt from the city’s Congestion Charge. A spokesperson told us “It’s not as simple as buying a hearse. In order to qualify for a permit, you must also be a funeral care business.”

That’s why I can’t get behind this team. For the record I follow Q36.5, and closer to home St Piran

Europe, baby! One of my best European nights was when Grasshoppers came to town. I met a group of Zurich fans in a Bulwell pub. They had brought over the Swiss version of our yard of ale - a glass boot. It got messy. #NFFC
