This checkin to GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

This checkin to GCBMAKQ #17 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. TOTT? Hah!

This checkin to GCBMAJB #16 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

This checkin to GCBMAK5 #14 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Where’s the other half? […]

[Checkin] Dan Q found GCBMAJV #13 Northmoor Loop

This checkin to GCBMAJV #13 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Another QEF for the doggo and I. I wonder if the Rose is open yet? The dog might be happy quenching her thirst from the river but I’m not!

This checkin to GCBMAH2 #10 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup was overheating a little so we took a break in the shade of the nearby pillbox before finding this cache. There’s risk this one will get harder if the bushes grow much in the summer! […]

This checkin to GCBMAAD #04 Northmoor Loop - Little Bridges # 3326 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

[Checkin] Dan Q found GCBMA4C #01 Northmoor Loop

This checkin to GCBMA4C #01 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

[Repost] NHS England rushes to hide software over AI hacking fears

New Scientist reports that the NHS are closed-sourcing a lot of their code, out of fear that AIs like Mythos will facilitate easier exploitation of their systems if they don't. Which is pretty-much... completely backwards thinking.

[Article] £4,803.40 a Year for Water?

[Reply] Reply to: locked-open
