So I ended up leaving my conference early today because I came on A WHOLE WEEK early and was completely unprepared. I know this is tmi but I don't even care, being on/off perimeno is a bloody chore. Chilling in my hotel room with cheap bubbles and snacks to soothe my woes.

Early morning alarms that start with a "4" should be illegal. 😴

So great to see bcrypt shipping in @wordpress.org - this was way more complex than just "swap out the function"! make.wordpress.org/core/2025/02...

Got next week booked off work (if you can call a week where I have two back to back conferences "off work") and as a result everything is going wrong this week - it's like the universe wants me to really earn that time off 😂

An improved approach to calculating accessible contrast ratios is being considered for WCAG 3.0: ruitina.com/apca-accessi... As someone with a permanently skewed ICC profile baked into his firmware, I welcome the change!

Having to postpone an interesting meeting with a prospect because I had a crapload of dental work and still can't feel my face: 👎 Having a valid reason to eat custard for the rest of the day: 🥳

Tried my first hyrox class this morning. Really enjoyed it, but my thumbs hurt from 120+ wall balls. Never had thumb DOMS before 😂

Hey! If you're looking for a seasoned game reviewer with 15+ years' experience reviewing for places like IGN, Eurogamer, PLAY, Edge magazine and more, pls think of me! Schedule has opened up from next month, so I'm open to new opportunities (ideally stable/regular/retainer work). LMK! K! THX! BAI!

There's a fantastic new build house near me up for sale with a huuuuge kitchen and a big garden. Don't suppose anyone has got a spare half a mill they don't need? 🤔

Had a bit of a tough couple of months in the biz (a client threatened me; although I fired him on the spot the consequences caused a shitload of chaos elsewhere) but FINALLY feeling like I've got my mojo back🤞
