mastodon 4.7.3By day I am a computer programmer with Index Data, where I have been happily and gainfully employed for 20 years.
By night, I am a vertebrate palaeontologist with the University of Bristol, specialising in sauropods: the biggest and best of all dinosaurs.
I am an advocate for open access, open data and open source, and I'm beginning to think pre-publication peer-review might be a mistake. Supported #LFC before Bezos takeover.

Yet another game where Liverpool did more than enough to win, but somehow we managed to score only once from nearly three xG. It feels like this has been happening a lot this season.
"It's time for online checkin" Jet2 tells me. I follow the link, enter my booking reference, name and flight date, and it takes me to a Manage My Booking page with a Check In Now button.
Clicking the button takes me to a 404.
??!
Brilliant break by Kerkez and Frimpong, utterly squandered by Wirtz.
... And then Wirtz is SO close to notching a winner on the break, but denied by Kweev.
The most deliberate of deliberate handballs — both hands, even. No yellow card, of course, because Darren England.
VVD can't capitalise on an unexpected chance to shoot from the edge of the area. Way over the bar. Shame.
Anyone else remember when John Hartson was sent off for two yellow cards, both given for deliberate handballs?
With Rio's stratospheric emergence, Trey Nyoni has gone under the radar. Has anyone been paying attention and knows has a sense of how good he is?
We have definitely conceded the initiative in the late stages of this game. I hate how we've been letting that happen.
