  @lightbeaminsight Hello mate, sorry to hear that. Glad you had a chance to speak with him a few days ago. ❤️

  Feeling stressed and overwhelmed by work stuff, and can’t even get excited about #iOSDevUK. If the ticket was refundable, I probably would. Can we instead all have a nice week at the Welsh seaside and not talk about computers?

  In happier news, I still haven’t intentionally used AI. Long may it continue.

  Wifey was struggling today with the dealership who sold us the ID.3, they were claiming we had a one-year warranty not two. I eventually found the paperwork to prove that Wifey was correct, so now I’m wandering around the house saying “ha!” to anyone who’ll listen. Ha.

  Proud Dad moment: Yesterday at work I needed to know our home static IP address, so I sent a message to my 15-yo asking him to send it to me. He asked if I’d been hacked, and requested a FaceTime chat before agreeing to send me the IP.

  Do any of my friends here have a LinkedIn account? I'm getting spam which claims to be driven from a LinkedIn page, but I don't have LinkedIn. Can anyone tell me what's here please: http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-flint-9470a111 (Especially interested to see if my personal email address is on that page)

  I need to upgrade the drives in my NAS, and I’ve tried three times to order new hard drives. The first and second orders were cancelled and refunded by the suppliers. The third isn’t due to be delivered until next week. Today, a pair of drives arrived with no documentation… so I don’t know which order they relate to.

  Amused to learn that iOS has a data-detector for Roman numerals. Voiceover reads LV (the letters L and V) as “fifty five”.

  Two more hours of painting creosote on the fence this morning, and after two vigorous showers… I still stink. I thought I was being careful too.

  Beer-loving UK friends: if you visit Newcastle, please do call in at Microbus Gateshead. Great little pub, quality beers, vegan and gay-friendly. They even lent me an umbrella because it’s pissing-down with rain ootside.

  When Amazon support say “my supervisor can’t do any more than I can”, they’re wrong. The supervisor did do more. I hate to be that “speak to the manager” guy, but sometimes you’ve got to do it.

  It’s always exciting to see a new train station getting its first departures. Today is the first time I’ve seen services at Winslow. So far they’ve had one cancellation due to a fault with a swing bridge, one delay due to sheep on the line, and several replacement bus services. Auspicious!

  An excellent evening yesterday in Scunthorpe: three points for The Good Guys, three goals (including a gem from Josh Stones), and we learned in the dying seconds that Halifax snatched a point against Rochdale. That’s eight straight wins, and 23 unbeaten. #YCFC #York

  For years I’ve been a #1Password evangelist, but I think it’s time to look for alternatives. Need something multi-platform, family sharing, and no AI. #sigh

  @schwa Maybe they show green if they think it will arrive on time, even if it departs late?

  @schwa Ah. Awkward.
