Bonjour from sunny rural France 🇫🇷

Amused to be learning tmux and vim more now that I’m using AI for stuff

Apple Watch works well for me, used to have a Garmin Fenix, was pretty good but GPS was flakey in open water swimming (a few years ago now)

Realising “would you like to cover” when sitting in your hospital gown in a chair is not a request ;-)

If you send a meeting invite for me at a date & time when I have a blocker already in my diary you’re just proving how incompetent you are

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

7. Six to Sixteen: A Child's Programming Journey / Surya Rose / FFConf 2025 YouTube video by Remy Sharp

Cheeky Friday #FFConf talk watch? Perhaps @gearsco.de on his personal journey "6 to 16: A child's programming journey" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=anF9...

And that’s it, goodbye #AWSDeepRacer 💔🪦

Unexpected day off work due to change in travel plans, I’m bored and need to find a hobby

Also have completed 24 sudoku’s

If you want to buy something from me on eBay, just use eBay as designed rather than sending me a message with an offer in it (or can pay cash message - seriously who uses cash?)

Our latest videos are out!

When you spend some time looking at re-platforming your blog and realise that not only have you not posted for a long time, the posts you made over the years are really dull

Rory is living his best life

Matt enjoying the post lunch sessions #ffconf

Bella is the leader in my coding cult #ffconf

Today is going well

Just checked - will be my sixth time attending ;-)

Heading back to #FFConf this week for the first time since 2017 (I think this will be my third or fourth one)

Looking forward to it

Changing the password on your work laptop last thing on Friday is never a smart idea
