Wow. Local dept store closed after fox falls through ceiling panel. “obviously being in House of Fraser is not where she wants to be.” I know that feeling!

I feel like it’s a very special thing to actually enjoy an annual meeting with your accountant. Thank you Jessica!!!

This 99% Invisible podcast episode on how the stethoscope changed medical diagnosis and culture is fascinating. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-stethoscope/

Ah. Just remembered how hashtags in micro.blog+WordPress SHOULD work: it should actually create a WP tag! Need to make that happen.

There’s some serious geekery going on on the other side of my office this week. Nice to come back from holiday to!

So I tried a Monzo card while on holiday. Interesting. Sign-up UX & support is good. Still not convinced of benefits with my usage patterns.

Agh. It only did one #hashtag. Never mind. More sometime soon.

Cool. So with that simple (for now) plugin, when posting from the micro.blog app, URL’s become links, #hashtags do something clever, and I pinched @Colinwalker’s title setting code too. #winning!
