DPD trying the ‘we missed you!’ in a global pandemic when most people haven’t left their home for the best part of 6 months is a ballsy play.

Really impressed with the Greens on how they won some recent council seats. Blindly obvious, but so rarely done. ‘(It’s) about listening and being visible, contactable, present and supportive, showing you care and not taking people for granted’ https://t.co/VH5znevagv

Don’t envy the person that’s going to have to tell the cicadas what’s happened in the last 17 years.

After all the government bluster about ‘protecting’ history and ‘britishness’, they allow a 450 year old bell foundry and maker of big ben to be turned into a hotel. In the end it’s always about money. Always. https://t.co/zoD26IyPyr

Been a developer for 20 years & early on loved the fact that anyone could start building stuff with a text editor, internet connection & host or geocities. Now feels like ever increasing opinionated complexity defined by a narrowing set of gatekeepers to get even to 'hello world’

Late night tweet, but feels Labour needs to do more than just be a political party, where is the representation in modern organisations? Both on the ground and digital (beyond twitter). Be the change we want to see. Even as I type this, I realise I need to do the same.

Had the BBC on for most of the night waiting for the London mayoral election and just got the result pretty much phoned in for about a minute. Twitter gave me a better coverage with less repeated filler.

BBC: We are minutes away from the London Mayoral results. Narrator voice: We are not.

Is it just me or is Twitter chronology all over the place. Not great for election results day.

Twitter. My thumb is already dragging down. Y’all don’t need to tell me there are new tweets.

Voted. Quite impressed at the turnout. Been a queue at our polling station (that we overlook) for over an hour.

Might have to come to terms with the fact that I might not ever achieve a micro puff jacket sort of vibe. I’ve dallied with it. It not me.

Playing Liquidator.

The way Brexit was carried out was stupid. Threatening to turn off electricity is stupid. Sending Royal Navy in is stupid.

Went out especially to pick up a 200 year anniversary edition of the Guardian. Weird as many of the newsagents that I used to buy papers from no longer exist. But very glad I managed to get one.

Cancelled my Flickr account. Last three years of subscription was mostly out of duty rather than usage. Felt like cancelling a puppy or something, Flickr was seriously awesome and still has some great features. I just don’t use them. Member since 2006!

So did a Google Tag manager course today, wasn’t the most riveting 3 hours of my life, but there was a gnawing realisation that it was something I was going to need to learn or at least understand why I should learn about it.

My (corporate) credit card is due to expire so just had a whistle-stop tour of about 20 websites’ billing UIs. Mostly not good. Of all the things to make difficult it should not be existing customers desire to continue to give you money.

This quote has really annoyed me. I’ve worked really hard the last year from home, carried on paying (reduced) rent on office space.

The most annoying thing about Boris Johnson’s comments is the only thing the government got right, the vaccine rollout (Oxford at cost vaccine and NHS), was the only one that wasn’t about ‘greed and capitalism’. Every mistake they made was exactly *because* of those things.

Building modern WordPress sites is becoming a totally different process. Whereas I would usually spend most of my time in a text editor building out the theme, I now build out header / footer / typography and build the rest in the admin. Completely fliped the paradigm.
