Isn't it a lovely feeling when you stumble upon an old project and when you fire it up, it 'just works' ?! Nice to see RAD again on my laptop! NestJS native, and very red! This was a side project for @radioharrow.bsky.social !

MS Teams has been around for a while now. HOW is it such an unstable piece of software? Inconsistent error messages, regular screen freezes, 'poor connection' errors when everything else runs fine... Come on Microsoft, you're better than this!

This week has been a good training and diet break. Looking forward to putting those extra calories to good use tomorrow!

Who are you working with? 👀

M25 on a Saturday. New record 80 miles, 4 hours.

Such a great evening last night with fellow @radioharrow.bsky.social volunteers. I was reminded that even if the usual 9-5 is stressful and unpredictable, there is something so healing and refuelling when you have good company! Here’s to the next 10 years!

Off to a 10th Birthday Party today! #RadioHarrow

@mk.gg Enjoyed your talk yesterday at Strapi Conf!

Further to my previous post, excluding airport adventures, I have to say, travelling in Paris is a tourists dream. 👏 The phone based ticket system is fantastic, and incredibly affordable (€2 or €2.50 for a bus/train ticket) all day! Uber seems spenny in comparison 🤔 Bravo Paris! 🇫🇷

Shame on you Charles De Gaulle Airport. 🇫🇷 It's great that your airport is on the Metro (train) map. It's great people can get to you on the train. It's not great that you don't mention there's a special airport ticket they need to buy, until they try and tap out at the airport. 35 Euros gone

Really enjoyed meeting some truly incredible people at #strapiconf! Some huge features announced today, it’s going to be a fun ride! @strapijs.bsky.social

Enthused by @joshuahyslop.bsky.social latest album. Real music, real lyrics Definitely feeling more inspired in the song writing now!

When Symfony 4 came out, everything changed!!

Stunning carbonara tonight at Faro. Thick, creamy, chunky, and most importantly, delicious 🤌🏾

Was chatting with a colleague about the first ‘real world’ project project that got me into coding. For me, it was absolutely a summer all nighter building a website for a family friends restaurant business. What was yours? 👀

Security training is so important 🔒 Requires subscription to @thetimes.com

Talkback radio is probably more important now than it ever has been. So why is one of the UK’s talk radio stations simulcasting sports content from its sister station (which is also available on the same broadcast platform) for most of its weekend schedule? 🤔

Really refreshing and brutally honest take on the use of AI in radio from @james.crid.land. AI is great, but it needs to be used correctly. Anything less is desprespectful of the true guardians, the listeners

The Apprentice final review — a stale formula, but a worthy winner 🔒 needs subscription www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-...

Kudos to the @thetimes.com app developers! This new release is brilliant! 👏🏽

Is there anyway to embed your own BlueSky feed onto other websites? Something like the first generation JS snippets from Twitter?

Was reminded today about just how powerful and cool CASCADE is! #sqlbantz

Logged into Cloudflare today, and still seeing issues! Where’s the best place to report this @cloudflare.social? (On a free tier so no direct support)

Add avocado oil to that list!

Had mixed feelings about going out in Central London on Friday evenings lately, but the gorgous weather today has sorted that out. Good weather TICK Good food TICK Good people TICK London... oh baby!

Oh what! There's a tomato shortage at Sainsburys!

Anyone else seeing issues on their Cloudflare dashboard? @cloudflare.social is there a known issue tonight?

One hell of a week. Looking forward to tonight's Open Mic night, and getting back to the gym over the weekend.

I’d like to officially declare that today is Wednesday. It is the greatest Wednesday since last Wednesday. #satire

Bro! Please sort out the EXISTING shambles known as the Met Line before investing in a NEW bus route. Waiting 20 mins for a train on a weekday during rush hour isn’t acceptable!

Clocks go forward (from GMT to BST) in a few hours. Thoughts with everyone who has to figure out how to update their oven clocks.

Bravo to The Giggling Squid, who have not only manage to implement an easy to use online collection order system on their website (Not via companies like Deliveroo), but who also invested in some impressive packaging for their food containers. 👏

How helpful are your commit notes? 🤔

Probably should update my website. It’s been ‘Under Construction’ for ages 😂 !

Let’s talk… documentation! 📝 
 Keen to get opinions on #Confluence vs #Notion for technical documentation (text/embeds/graphics) for internal dev teams! 
Have used both, but Notion feels too clunky even though it offers more customisable possibilities! 
 What’s your go to for writing documentation?

Really surprised that more companies and businesses haven't made the leap over to Bluesky. It still feels like this is a secret club sometimes. Grateful for the lack of bots and negative vibes!

‘Deeply uncomfortable’: UK Starlink users switch off over Musk’s political machinations

One of my favourite radio moments this past week was when @iaindale.bsky.social was having a passionate chat with a caller. At the end, when Iain questioned how much longer they’d talk, the caller said he had to go. The caller was animated, but Iain was the true pro, encouraging the debate! 📻

This read from @thetimes.com brings back some painful memories: www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/art... 🔒 Behind paywall

Just seen the last episode of #CobraKai. 🐍 Unreal attention to detail from the script writers, who absolutely captured the romance from the 80s Karate Kid storyline for a whole new audience and generation! Some unanswered questions, but a solid 9/10 from me!

Really enjoyed my session at the new Gym Group gym in Gillingham this morning. This place opened a couple of months ago, and while its a world away from my ‘home’ gym, being able to train at the same chain means I can just use my regular programme as it’s the same kit! Win! 🔥 💪🏾

If you like KFC’s chicken wings but don’t want the extra grease, this masala is amazing. Coat your chicken in some of this masala with 10ml of oil. Then add some breadcrumbs and bake for 30 mins. Enjoy! #healthyKFC
