#blogvember 9 – Television
Finished watching Succession one of my favourite shows. Full of unlikable characters doing horrible morally reprehensible things. Can’t put it down.
Waiting for the new series of The Crown, about another institution that I disapprove of, but extremely watchable, great cast so far, I doubt very much it bears much resemblance to reality.
Just watched episode one of series two of Britannia. the plot of series one was so mixed up I can’t really remember what went on. The theme tune has changed from Hurdy Gurdy Man to Season of the Witch, but a fairly daft mix of gore and mad ancient britons on hallucinogenic drugs continues in an enjoyable fashion.

Had to stop at Luss to grab a quick sunrise.
Leaving school on an autumn afternoon.
#blogvember 8 Technology
Somedays computing technology seems like a collection of very fine threads with a lot depending on them. I don’t suppose there ever was a time where ordinary folk could really understand much. But when I started using macs around system 7.1 I was under the illusion that it might be something I could grasp if not master. I now feel like I am at one end of a multitude of dependencies, with no change of a glimpse of the root of any.
#blogvember 7 – Work – Product Owner for Glow Blogs
I am very pleased that I’ll be continuing my part time role as product owner for Glow Blogs. When my recent contract finished in June the job was opened for applications. I was successful and am just sorting out the paper work. I do this work over an above my class teacher role. I would have been gutted if I didn’t get the job.
This post was inspired by Andrew Canion’s Blogvember Prompt List. This arrived in micro.blog at he same time as #mbnov, microblogvember.

#blogvember 6 – Family I don’t blog about my family. Not a big deal, I just don’t. I might have name checked my wife half a dozen times and my daughter a couple, but only to mention they were on a walk I’ve described. Blogvember Prompt List.
Snail Habitats For Mrs. Nations Class
Snail Habitats For Mrs. Nations Class
These are student created snail habitats. Each habitat has a Raspberry Pi computer with a mini camera attached to it, which is programmed to take a snapshot photo every hour. This will allow students to see where the snails are hanging out the most and improve their habitats over time.
This looks like a great project. I wish we has seen it when we had our mud snails in class.
I don’t think we could have used Raspberry PIs on the school network but I am sure this could have been adapted to see the photos locally in the way we use our @naturewatch camera.
It also reminds me of my Raspberry Pi Gif Cam
