I've just discovered baby hippos and they're my new favourite thing.
The Right to Remain Silent
I've recently been down a YouTube rabbit hole about Police who abuse their position. If you were stopped by an officer, would you exercise your right to remain silent?
How to make yourself sound like an absolute wanker in a single sentence:
Lee is a managing director of a $102B private equity firm, he is probably richer than me. (Though I doubt he gives back as much.)
Well done, Matt. You continue to make yourself look like an utter tosser.
A Year With Kirby CMS
It’s been a year since I migrated this site to Kirby CMS, let’s talk about how that’s gone…
First fire of the year. 🥶🔥🔥
My Thoughts on the WordPress Drama
I wrote about Matt's post the other day, but things have escalated significantly since then. Like, SIGNIFICANTLY. Here's my thoughts...
On Removing Content
I wanted to share some thoughts on removing content from a public blog.
When I was in the USA recently, I’d get laughs every time I pulled my phone out (not very often as I hardly use it). It’s an #iPhone 13 Mini and everyone commented on how they’ve never seen one, how cute it is, and would ask how I use something so small.
Are smaller phones really that rare in the States? 🤷♂️
WP Engine is not WordPress
Matt, the co-founder of WordPress, writes about how WP Engine is a “cancer to WordPress” because they disable revisions.
Digital Fortress
When the National Security Agency's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician.
Ahhhhh shit, he found us. 😂😂
Tia and I are sharing peanut butter pretzels.
Shhhhh Sid hasn’t noticed yet. 🤫
Why Do Kids Lie?
Why do kids think they can get away with the most ridiculous of lies? Sometimes it's funny, but other times I want to strangle them!
The dogs hate being walked in the rain. ☔️
On Success
I was recently speaking to someone in work that I mentor, and they asked me what my measure of success is. This is what I told her...
My wife ordered this watch for me 3 months ago, for my birthday. It finally turned up and it is incredible. These pictures do it absolutely no justice at all.
This is the Selten Salvage Bronze, for anyone who is interested.
Osa the Dog and the Last Goodbye
Lou talks about the recent loss of his son's much loved dog, Osa. Be warned, you'll need tissues at the ready!
The One Feature I Really Wish Mastodon Had
While still in its infancy, there's one feature that Scott would *love* to see on Mastodon - the ability to post locally only.
I hope nothing is coming the other way. 🫣
I finally broke and allowed my wife to get one of the kids an #Alexa for their birthday. They love it. I’m now silent every time I walk past his bedroom…
