Climbing here we come!!
With huge thanks to my family for making this happen.

Seriously. Like. The queen should be having to going and picking someone to reluctantly do this job.
“Err…Boris? We’re a bit short of PM’s this month. Don’t suppose you’d mind stepping up would you? Just…you know…temporarily?”
No one should want it.
16 people?!?!

Did I hear 16 people want the Conservative leader + PM job?
Sixteen?
Why would you want it? It’s an impossible task.
Why do sixteen people want an impossible job playing a game that you can’t win with the risk being you trash the whole country?
Bonkers.

Parenting tip, inspired by the News Quiz from Friday:
Get a Google Home or Amazon Alexa device to create the pleasant feeling of someone in your house responding when you call their name!

From Tuesday:
I rarely feel this, but I feel like I nailed today. Great live Q&A session with a bunch of freelancers. Finished early to get my slightly-poorly girl from pre-school. Family time. Then bashed out a feature in a Laravel app. Felt so good somehow! 🙌

My Schoolbot data needs updating. And its incorrectness is highlighting how much I’ve come to depend on it.
I need to find a keen, helpful, tech-savvy school to pilot this with at some point.
23/05/2019, 21:09
Oh gosh. I forgot to say. I’ve made it!! I had an almost-funny tweet read out the No Plans To Merge podcast.
I’m done now. I’m going to stop posting and Tweeting while I’m ahead.

Oh, hello, Hay Fever. You’re about two weeks early then!! 😬

Hah. I think we left our car unlocked. And the world’s worst opportunistic thrives opened it and had a rummage around.
Mostly it looks like they wanted a light for a cigarette! 🤷♂️

There seem to be more and more of these “quiz”es going round. Here’s a fun one that I made up called “What’s your hereditary title name?”: https://rosswintle.uk/2014/10/whats-your-hereditary-title-name/

But also…personally…I think I’m having a pretty chilled time. Last summer the thought of a BBQ somehow seemed like stressful and overwhelming. Just did my first of the year. Little planning. With some good friends round. Nailed THAT!! 😃

Having one of those fed-up-with-tech times. Almost want to skip Twitter for a bit. People really need to be kinder and more thoughtful and graceful with their words. This is an ongoing theme right now.

I also…to my own utter horror…need some kind of fill-in light for doing video. Because I’m normally back-lit in my office. And now I’m looking at all sorts of “beauty vlogger” products. 😱😱😱😂😂😂

Tried filming myself with the camera built into my monitor yesterday. This is a new thing. I don’t film myself. But needs must.
Anyway. Turns out the camera in my old Apple Cinema Display is rubbish!!
So I need a webcam?!
I feel so noughties!

Most people, when the office internet goes down:
“Ah, internet’s gone down. I’ll go for a coffee/walk, take a break.”
Networking geeks when then internet goes down:
“Why the heck is the internet down? *ping* *dig* *change DNS settings* etc”

Since starting to take my girl to her pre-school I’ve re-discovered “The Button” by “The Tunnel”.
I’m still not brave enough to press it!

One of the great things about getting a Christmas gift of a variety pack of craft beer has been studying the branding. It’s fascination what a name and a label can make you think about a thing.

…but! Kinda amazed at how the Oikos “brand” I had 8 years or so ago has stood the test of time. Name is still right. Focus on “Communication, collaboration, community” is still right. Self-appointed title of “Creator, Engineer, Advisor” more relevant than ever. 😃🙌
