@ExWHUEmployee What interview are we talking about?

Wow I’ve got to say I don’t think Potter could have came across any better in that interview!! Agree with everything he said and like the way he talks and articulates things already! I feel even more excited! 👏🏻⚒

WiP 🧑‍💻: trying sto simulate brown trout spot patterns in @observablehq. Such a cool array of patterns, with broad variations across river catchments 🏞️, regions 🌍 and maturity ....and giving each individual fish unique character. #trout #generative #d3

@flowingdata Interesting..missed this first time around. What is the cover visualisation here?

A new FlowingData book! It's a second edition, but it might as well be brand new. Fresh examples, fresh tools, and fresh words. flowingdata.com/2024/02/01/a-n…

I guess we'll never know..... @tableaupublic @tableau #Tableau #datafam

Tableau Tip - Synchronized Scrolling ICYMI at TC23, @flerlagekr showed us how to synchronize scrolling across multiple sheets in just 30 seconds. Put them on a dashboard, make the dashboard tall enough to remove scroll bars, then add the dash to a story! flerlagetwins.com/2023/05/synchr…

@sr4thore @WHUsparetickets £35 for the pair? How did you get them so cheap?

Two spare West Ham Leeds tickets available at face value, £35 for the pair. Please DM if interested. @WHUsparetickets

@jonni_walker She's a beauty

@goodreads Art of Fielding by @cdharbach

What's a book you wish you could read again for the very first time?

@MarshyBoy26 Let's not jump to conclusions. Give him some time for his abilities to unravel, and mysteriously become a bit shit

Aguerd played a volleyed pass last night that for a CB was outstanding technique. Not only that but he plucked one out the air stopping the ball dead as well. His qualities simply aren’t up for debate.

Come on Footyroos / Soccerburras / Goalabies!!! ..... something like that. 🇦🇺⚽

@BMooreWasTaken @tableau @tableaupublic This is great. Idea & execution!

🚨 New Viz - Running with the Pack The Rat Pack, The Brat Pack, & The Frat Pack. This visualization looks at how often each member of these legendary Packs appeared together in films, and how much of their total filmography was "with the Pack" Link: public.tableau.com/app/profile/br…

@curataceae Any good?

@benjamesdavis Not a clue sorry, never been there on a foray

@curataceae Hi Lee. I found this in Epping Forest. Google lens reckons it Podoscypha multizonata...and one of the profiles I read said that Kew mycology department must be informed due to its rarity?!

@curataceae What would you say the 'big 5' are for an Epping Forest mushroom safari?

@benjamesdavis It does look like a porcelain, maybe not fully opened yet

@curataceae Seemed opaque, with a slimy cap. I thought maybe a porcelain, but I would've thought the cap would be flat at that kind of size.

@benjamesdavis I cant tell from that pic, it's a bit blurry. Was it slimy and almost translucent looking?

@curataceae Are you able tell me what this fly-smothered deadwood dangler is?

@benjamesdavis Hiya, its a beauty! I dont think we record these any longer as standard. But, i will chat with colleagues and i will drop you a line. Spectacular find, thanks!

@WildTroutTrust @NatResWales Thanks!

@benjamesdavis Hi Ben, we think this is @NatResWales data, not EA, but we'll check and get back to you...

@WildTroutTrust Why are there so few coarse fish in Cornish rivers? (That's not the set-up to a Xmas-cracker joke. Am genuinely curious).

@WildTroutTrust @WildTroutTrust Do you know if it's possible to access the EA fish survey data for Wales? It's not in the data.gov.uk NFPD dataset...but I know it exists somewhere.

@WildTroutTrust I'm currently analysing the EA fish survey dataset...and am surprised to see how geographically distinctive fish assemblages are on our small island.

@The_BoleynBoys Ah ok. That will never come good

@benjamesdavis I’m talking about the ticket office.

I let West Ham irritate me far too much!
