Made the jump to Bluesky a few months back, if you're looking for me you can find me there: bsky.app/profile/iainbe… 👋

FB: too friends and family focussed, also Twitter was better for off-the-cuff random content. Instagram: Too image focussed / airbrushed content - not everyone's life is perfect and not everything I want to post has an picture. Give twitter another try? Any alternatives?

So I kind of gave up on Twitter early this year as it seemed to have descended into a cesspool of crypto scammers and toxic politics. Yet I didn't find any good alternatives... Still looking for somewhere for tech/IT/science/geekery and also running content.

There is nothing better than a chilled #alkoholfrei in the sunshine and for your chance to #win a case simply repost!!! The #winner will be announced at 5pm(ish) today #Freiday so why not give this #compeition a whirl!!! Weekly #Freiday #Giveaway = Good luck!!

Things got a so busy yesterday, forgot to post this 🤦‍♂️ @MrsBMumOfFour outran everyone to win the @mapledurham #BackyardUltra #BYU with 31 yards 👏👏👏

The 💯 mile club @mapledurham #BYU. One RTC so the remaining five are pushing on into day two of the race 🤩

An atmospheric dawn has given way to a bright morning @mapledurham #BYU 6 runners left, closing in on the 💯 mile mark.

Night falls at @mapledurham #BYU wonder how many runners will make it through to the morning? 😴

6 yards / 25 miles done... time for the ultra lap @mapledurham #BYU

Yard 2 completed, yard 3 in progress! #BYU Had a little wander over to look at the @mapledurham mill (now a micro hydro scheme) 😎

The runners are off on the first ever yard at the inaugural @mapledurham #BYU The sun is shining and it's shaping up to be a great weekend 😎

Chilling at @mapledurham #BYU 30 mins till the start. Live stream has started: m.twitch.tv/rasselbock_run… can you spot us? 👀

We're off to Mapledurham #BackyardUltra #BYU this weekend 😁 Follow the livestream here: m.twitch.tv/rasselbock_run… from 11am on Saturday as @MrsBMumOfFour is looking for some big yards 👍

All the #bm100 runners now have only 14 hours left to finish loop 4, make their final interloopal, and the whole of loop 5. The front runners have already taken more than 14 hours for loop 4, and there are still a few more hours of darkness to go. It's going to be tight!

@taka_does_stuff Jasmin Paris is the 3rd in the lead group, according to the French on FB 🕵️‍♂️

The #bm100 2024 tab has been opened! A reminder to anyone not familiar with my spreadsheet: It's NOT a primary source, I'm just collecting all the online information in one place. There is ALWAYS misinformation on there, even I can't unbarkley the barkley docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@FoldyFlap @TR8Mat Karel Sabbe and Aurelien Sanchez also on a big taper... 🤔

@DNSandilands Following, not "For you". Better but that's not saying much

@IainBethune Are you on the suggested or following bit? I think if you stick to looking at the following feed it's better

Just me or has X degenerated quite a bit recently? Mostly running content has gone to IG, not much tech/HPC content (even during SC it was quiet), and very few friends/family posts. Not sure if it's just the feed algorithms but all I see are toxic politics and crypto spam 😞

This is a first for us - an interview with "escapted convicts" Heather and Geoffrey Daunis 😱 milestogether.co.uk/interview-daun… You'll be glad to know they are back in custody and now deported to the USA 🤣
