@aurooba Would you be willing to say more about "… my faith in headless is not fully there …" because I'm desperately trying to get on board with headless myself and I'm wondering what it is that hold YOU back.

Air fares should be presented as all-in prices with the check in time, not the departure time.

1. Go to see how much a flight to Athens is.

2. Get ridiculously overwhelmed.

3. Decide I’m probably never going to fly again.

4. Wonder if anyone actually enjoys this process?

I think I’ve been playing too much #NoMansSky

I saw a bird in the sky at the weekend and my first instinct was that I needed to scan it for credits! 😂

Tried to describe my job at the weekend to an older, less technical person:

– if there’s architects and builders for buildings then there are the same for websites. I’m a builder.
– Well, actually, I’m building the tools that builders use. So I’m like DeWalt or Ryobi.
– Hmm. Well. In fact:
Imagine that I’m the janitor who looks after the DeWalt store building where other builders buy the tools they use for building.
– Does this make ANY sense?! 😂

Is it cos I’m old? Or British? Or Gen X?

Dunno.

But the Super Bowl half time show was totally underwhelming.

🤷‍♂️

I’ve never done WordCamp Europe. But I got looking through the attendee list and genuinely might seriously consider it purely to meet and hang out with some of my favourite online people.

Has anyone built an AI that I can run presentations through that expands all acronyms to their longform versions?

Why are there so many abbreviations?

Does it actually help the reader/viewer? Or is it the content producer being lazy and/or gatekeeping?

These layoffs are now getting far too close to home. Sad for everyone involved here. 🙁

(And in ALL the places I know that have had layoffs/redundancies this week)

Ah yay! @courtneyr_dev just pointed out that https://turbo-admin.com/ got a mention on @nathan’s weekly show/podcast.

Thank you Nathan!!

(Looks like I need to work on that SEO! 😬)

“Hey, ChatGPT…

Write me a story about a builder called ‘Beaver’ who goes on a quest. He should be aided or hindered (you decide) by a series of friends or villains: a scientist called ‘Rocket’; a wizard called ‘Varnish’; and a dragon called ‘Cloudflare’.

The quest is to discover the contents of the mysterious cache, and deliver it to Prince DOM.

The quest is ultimately successful but only accomplished by the solving of numerous, complex and inter-related puzzles”

Finally getting my Tweet archive up on my own (#WordPress) website thanks to @shawnhooper's excellent importer.

Don't use it yet though – wait for my PR with media improvements to be accepted! 🙏 😉

(No hurry, Shawn… it's a substantial change.)

I'm sorry… what?

Twitter's export doesn't include alt-text for images?

🙄

Totally theoretical but…

I heard about this story of ovarian cancer showing up in purchasing patterns in retail loyalty programmes.

https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/26/loyalty-card-data-could-help-spot-ovarian-cancer-cases-sooner

And I wondered if… IF you could train something like GPT3 on medical records. Could you then input your own medical record and have it complete possible future health problems?

Is Twitter shutting down oEmbeds too? Is that part of the API?

That could be fun!!

When was that “Blue Monday” officially-most-depressing-day-of-the-year? And why is it not over yet?

The news today is crap.

Yesterday was crap.

My body is old and crapping out.

Can it just be spring now please?!
