On the hard stuff! #breakfast #holiday

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.

Here's a question for the day... Is it co-working or coworking? Personally I prefer coworking, but the Cambridge dictionary tells me I'm wrong! I think I have an aversion to the hyphen since Grammarly tries to add one to every two-word phrase hehehe... Which do you prefer?

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!

Ready for a new week with my #caramelmacchiato in one of my favourite mugs

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?!

Last weekend I attended @DDDNorth in #Hull which is a free all-day seminar for developers with 25 talks throughout covering all sorts of topics! I had a fantastic day and here's my blog post about it for all who are interested!

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

I was in a literal awe of her coolness and have had a really good day since!

I never change my ringtone and always have my phone on silent, I think that has to change! What's your ringtone?

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...

You know you’re a true British #retrocomputer enthusiast when you own one of these!

I see so many posts and discussions on social media about how C++ is better than C# and Rust is faster than Java... But why does it matter?

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 😀

Yummy #cheese, #biscuits and #GandT :) Very civilised. Happy New Years Eve Eve 😀

A different type of post for me. It's the holiday season, for some people, it's the hardest time of year. And to some, it feels like the weight of the year has finally piled so heavy on their shoulders!

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 👍
