DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

The perfect soundtrack for a walk home. Still stands the test of time 😍

Fairwell old friend. 🥲👋 “Make It, Launch It” was a very fun few months. Lots of makers published daily updates - sometimes way more. The most impressive being an app that shared 160 days of building! Good times. #buildinpublic

Could this be a massive market opportunity for European tech?

Good morning indeed. 2 mins before a call I felt it was more important to see this 😍

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Cheerio Skype. You enabled me and my wife to become digital nomads back in 2009. It took 3 months for a client to notice it was still sunny outside. My SkypeIn phone number was hooked to my cell number and people just thought I was down the road. Videos ran on 1-2mbit perfectly. Game changer tech 🫡

Pancake Races on the beach today with some of the amazing crew in Propeller, our coworking space 😍 Certainly beats doom scrolling! 🥞

I’m baffled. Just got made aware of this across ALL UK newspapers yesterday. I didn’t see it as I don’t buy printed newspapers. There was no buzz online. It was in print only? None of the digital editions? Feels like a complete miss after what was clearly tricky to orchestrate.

I really like this idea

Any iOS users finding this useful? I’ve always turned it off on stuff like Gmail. Categorisation is wrong so I now have 4 places to check which takes much longer. Plus 2 finger selection no longer works. It’s very buggy. So all in all, not great Apple UX team 🫤 💛💛🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶

So… um… tariffs. Paid by the importer to the gov. I get they *can* protect domestic interests or be punitive. But it’s just tax/duty right? Tax ultimately paid by the country’s citizens. So basically just a tax increase sold differently?

The beach is seriously wild today. #herminia

We’re at a conference exhibiting our software in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Haven’t been for years and forgot how cool the architecture is. The first pic is a shot of the house where William Shakespeare was born… ✍️

This + “Is today the day I start wearing Stephen Wilson Jr’s baseball cap and cardigans?” 😍
