Finally moved across to BlueSky after the excellent (as always) #HAconf25 Along with the predictably overwhelming number of exciting ideas, this conference also resulted in a list of so many books with *MUST READ* in my notes that I had an amazon basket total of £193.78... Saved (some) for later...
