Chris 'no longer here' Boon

I've officially moved over to @bluesky - thank you Twitter, it was good while it lasted, I met people, shared ideas and built a great network, but it's now time to move over to bsky.app/profile/chrisb… - see you on the other side!

Exploring @bluesky - anyone else from the #EdTech world moved over? Find me at bsky.app/profile/chrisb…

@johnbrindletel Do report how it is on the other side - some of us might want to join you... 😀

@c1boon I think I’ll still “lurk” for a while ☺️

Sunsetting this account - I’ll be on the platform with the blue butterfly now it’s open ☺️ blue sky today 😉

Amazed at the quality of descriptions created from @ASU's Image Accessibility Generator - many thanks to @VLEguru for sharing this at last week's #Ally User Group #A11y #AnthologyAlly teachonline.asu.edu/image-accessib…

@VLEguru Looking forward to it!

@c1boon A topic I'll be touching on in this week's Ally User Group meeting! :)

Testing out the AI Alt Text Assistant in Blackboard Ally.

@audinarymusic @jeardleyLT @UniRdg_TEL @UniofReading Wow we really are getting close - still not quite sure what we'll do without you Andy, you must keep in touch in here, and perhaps come and do a gig for us at a future conference!

@c1boon @jeardleyLT @UniRdg_TEL @UniofReading "will we get lots of tickets or complaints?" That's the big question isn't it. Still, I'll be retiring on 30th September, so what do I care!

@audinarymusic @jeardleyLT @UniRdg_TEL @UniofReading That's great to hear @audinarymusic - looks like your approach is very close to ours, except we're not splitting out audio files. Be good to keep in touch about this - will we get lots of tickets or complaints? Your help pages are super clear

@jeardleyLT @UniRdg_TEL @UniofReading @c1boon We were planning this anyway, but encouraged by Chris' recent talks on the subject... and the fact that we finally have a fit-for-purpose media hosting platform.

Brilliant posters in the footbridge at @greateranglia #Ipswich station promoting #Suffolk @suffolk_tourism

@GreaterAngliaPR Excellent news - thank you @greateranglia - this is a really big step forward for customers on the Great Eastern Mainline - when travelling as a family we always struggle without tables - no space for drinks or toys. We look forward to seeing the new tables installed

We're installing tables on our Stansted Express trains. The significant customer-focused upgrade will see all these trains upgraded before the end of 2025, with four tables due to be fitted to a train each weekday night while it is stabled at Orient Way train care depot, London

Hello Blackboard and Anthology friends, please don't forget to keep us informed what's happening at #AT24 in Orlando this week - some of us can't make it but would love to join in the conversation remotely @AnthologyEMEA

@joe_d_currie Oh wow that's amazing! We regularly get trains departing Norwich at exactly the same time, but I've never seen parallel running like this through a station - brilliant! Thanks for sharing 😀

@c1boon fancy a race? 🙃

@g_fielding Wow a proper end of an era! Congratulations Gillian - thank you for everything you've done to help and support us over the years, it's always been a joy working together, thank you for all your hard work with the FE User Group! Enjoy your very well deserved rest

It’s a wrap! My laptop is packed ready to go back. After almost 9 years at Blackboard/Anthology and over 40 years working, I’m retiring! It’s been a hoot and a great pleasure to work with so many amazing people. 😊🥂

Definitely one of my favourite @uniofeastanglia buildings - The Enterprise Centre (TEC) - stunning modern design and low-carbon architecture - winner of 2018 non-domestic UK Passivhaus awards, listed in @NorwichSociety centenary publication

If you agree the proposed Norwich Western Link would be disastrous environmentally, destroying habitats for rare barbastelle bats, and spending an extraordinary amount of public money on non-sustainable transport, please use this simple form to object to the planning application

Hey @MannGeorgia thank you for playing the brilliant Ruth Gipps horn concerto on @BBCRadio3, it's a fabulous work that's thankfully getting played more nowadays. @LeahBroad will approve 😁 I recently bought the CD, definitely the best work on the disc!

@laurenmccann73 So sorry to hear this really sad news Lauren, am thinking of you and your family x

I lost my dearest darling mum, Lynn, suddenly & unexpectedly last Tuesday. Beloved & deeply treasured wife (of 55 years), mum, Grandma, sister, aunty, great aunt, cousin… Huge gaping hole in our wonderful family & community. Life will never be quite the same #Love #Mum #Angel ❤️

@Ian_davis56 @oxfamgb Great to hear from you Ian! The Norwich Baroque concert looks great, sorry I missed it - I bumped into a friend who plays with them before their John Passion gig at Easter. Will look out for the Faure in November. Hope you're keeping well

@c1boon @oxfamgb Hi Chris. I love Baroque music. Hope they find your Avison. And did I by any chance miss spotting you at this fine concert last month? Keswick Hall are performing Foure in November.

Hello @oxfamgb I bought this Avison 2-CD box from your excellent shop in Woodbridge yesterday but found it contains an incorrect Handel CD instead of CD 1 of the Avison - do you have Handel Radamisto with a missing Act 3 CD in your Woodbridge shop?
