I got a new plastic shell for my MacBook Pro this week and asked Bespoke - Decals to make me a personal vinyl for the front of it.

Love it! Looks perfect!

Happy European Coworking Day!

I'm celebrating today by working with the York Lunchtime Connections at the fantastic #PatchYork who have generously provided the group with free #coworking space, #coffee and #cake for the day!

We love you, Patch!

Stoke must be wishing they could just raise the white flag and finish the game at half time! 😜

What I love about @apple is how they put design at the forefront of everything, even when it's bad news! 😉

So this is concerning... I've started getting an alert that my #trackpad is low on battery... But this is my #macbookpro 14” with integrated trackpad?! Anybody else had this issue?!

One of my yearly highlights as a developer is #dddnorth, this year once more at the University of #Hull... A full-day seminar choc full of tech talks...

I'm full of tech inspiration but mentally shattered!

I'll be writing a blog post of my review early next week

This morning I was shopping in ALDI for some bacon and eggs for breakfast when I passed a middle-aged woman in the aisle just as her phone went off!

Her ringtone was the Knight Rider theme tune and she purposefully left it ringing for about 5 seconds before she answered...

Having a well deserved #cuppa after taking all the #christmasdecorations down!

Had a fab time: Xmas Eve with our son Alex and his GF Violet, Xmas Day with my wife’s parents and Boxing Day with our daughter Beth and her Alex :) It’s been super fun 😀

The Implosion of WordPress

If you're a fan of the biggest CMS in the world, you may be feeling a little queasy about your choice right now. Cracks are starting to show under the management of Wordpress and Wordpress.org.

At the pub trying to explain to the drunks what the #solarsystem looked like before Pluto got demoted…

This year my family made it a totally #retrogaming #christmas for me! Such a lucky old man! 😀 ❤️❤️

Seems an unpopular opinion but we actually liked #joker2! The right mix of his real life and fantasy and the perfect ending (albeit a massive surprise)… Maybe we went in with low expectations so it can only be better than we’d hoped?!? But maybe an 8 out of 10 👍

Merry Christmas 😀

Let the story be told that on Christmas morning 2024 I got #The400Mini and my #retrogames console collection was complete (until #thea500 of course!)

This is what gaming is all about. A fast, furious, frustrating and frantic game that takes reaction and skill... Easy to pick up... Super hard to master... Has anything since been this fun to play? And written in only 16k! A masterpiece 🙇
