I don’t know if it’s brain-age or my gen-X cultural baggage or what, but I really struggle with real-time decision making with online chat. Especially when it’s across multiple work streams.
The young folk just seem to be able to do this whereas I’m all: “chat is for _making_ decisions, docs are for _recording_ them.”
A #WordPress PSA:
If you use ACF free or any of the free versions of Delicious Brains/WP Engine plugins then you will want to read about how to get updates to them in future.

@ivory oh. Ignore me. I pasted an image somehow, not a URL. Sorry!!

Oh this isn’t fair. I need to make a packed lunch and get a kid to school on time!!! 😬
I’m very excited that I actually get to use my computer science background in my work this week. 😃
I feel very smart.
😂
Remembered recently that I have this really neat little app called "Play" for queueing up and watching YouTube vids.
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/play-save-videos-watch-later/id1596506190
Works on iPhone and Mac and syncs with iCloud.
Share videos from YouTube using the share sheet on mobile. Curate a watch-later list from there.
Watch picture-in-picture on iOS! 🙌
Escape the algorithm and curate your own watch list.
Watched this Hands On with Meta's fancy new prototype glasses.
I'm not a fan of Meta at all. But as a technology prospect this is:
– Way way WAY more appealing than the Vision Pro
– Still not appealing at all – why would I want my computer on my face – it's hard enough to keep my phone in my pocket! Notifications sent to my eyeballs? No thanks!
Can people familiar with gaming terminology ( @rhyswynne ?) explain why Balatro desscribes itself as “Roguelike”?
I rarely click random videos in my feed. I’m usually looking for something. But…
I have so many questions!!!
Tra-la-laa. So…. What’s going on in the tech world? Anything fun that I should know about?
Some fun project? Some generous sharing of knowledge?
I might have to build another silly web game. Any requests?
🙈🙉🙊
ShuffleDuck (little game I built this weekend) is very silly ridiculously competitive. 🤣
I've styled it now too – bit of a TaskMaster theme.
It's pass-and-play. Just hold the red button for power, release your duck, and annoy your friend!
I can’t be bothered with drama. I occupied myself with fun.
This stupid pass-and-play game is an homage to Season 12 Episode 9 of Taskmaster.

I’ll style it better at some point but in the meantime time…
SHUFFLE DUCK!!
We have started naming the rest of the Whole Family. It’s not as easy as we thought.
The dad is Douglas Alexander Whole
The mum is Chiara Whole (Chi for short)
The daughter is Philippa Whole
There is a cousin who married into the Black family and double-barreled their name too.
Here are some emojis…
😯😦😧😱😥🙄🤨🧐🤯🤷😡😬🤐
I want to make a stupid new web game.
What shall it be?
Oooh, the TaskMaster shuffle-board thing!!!
Let's see…
Made an accidental good joke today while intending to make a bad one.
My wife was sarcastically reading that “This delicious vegetarian recipe is great for the whole family”
Me: Is that Mr and Mrs Whole and their children?
Wife: 🤨
Me: don’t they have a daughter called Philippa?
Wife: 🤨
Me: like “Pip”. “Pip hole”. “Piip hole”… “Peep hole?”
Wife: Oh. I thought you meant “Fill-up-a hole!”
😂😂
I read this headline to my wife and she said “Is that a cryptic crossword clue?” 😂

I bought 9 CDs today. Yes. CDs.
Why?
Because in my new office I found a reasonably good speaker with an iPod dock.
And then I remembered I had an old iPod lying around.
And you can still sync music to it.
But only music you own. None of the DRM’d streaming stuff.
So I've bought a bunch of pre-loved CDs that I intend to rip and copy to my iPod.
Living the dream!
Might buy a BluRay player next and update my old DVD collection!
