At my first #HNLondon for a long while. A big crowd, a couple of top-notch speakers lined up and free pizza. Good work, @steviebuckley.

My paternity leave has timed perfectly with the snow and ice. Being homebound with a newborn is more bearable when I’m snowed-in anyway.
Watching those side boosters land from @spacex Falcon Heavy was a genuine open-mouth woah moment! Just amazing. Nice touches with Bowie and Don’t Panic on the Tesla screen.
As seems obligatory today, this note tests whether I can post tweets with over 140 characters, now that Twitter supports up to 280. I'm posting this to my site first (naturally) and hopefully the Ruby @gem and Twitter's API won't bork when it's syndicated 🤞
Superbly detailed piece from our DPM @hayleyhinsley on how she continuously grooms our product backlog https://medium.com/hayleyhinsley/how-and-why-you-should-regularly-backlog-groom-and-re-assess-priorities-e688f7dbda6
I love that @simonw is blogging again. His recent posts are great reads, including this on CD with free services: https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/17/free-continuous-deployment/
Posting a test note from the new Micro.blog Mac app.
Can't wait for this documentary of the greatest end to a football season there will ever be. "89". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmUiHof01l4
While posting an article here earlier I reminded myself how clunky I've made things unless I'm writing plain-text notes. Manually hacking the content in a JSON document is unnecessarily cumbersome. And syntax-highlighted code blocks would be nice. Some itches to scratch!
Handy new macOS High Sierra tip: you can lock your screen using the keyboard shortcut ctrl-cmd-q.
Even though I've read all the "spoilers", I'm still excited for today's iPhone X announcement. Time for Apple to shine.
In my 28 years as a Gooner this feels like the lowest ebb. Even with George's bung you felt the Club's stewardship would see us through.
Deployed my first bit of @vuejs code, swapping out some messy jQuery/Mustache. Surprisingly easy. A+ would hack on it again.
I'm halfway through @laracasts' free @vuejs video tutorials and really enjoying Vue's lightweight approach: https://laracasts.com/series/learn-vue-2-step-by-step/
Favourite bands/music colliding: Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) covers all of Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVuKHi9v2Rn4c95Kj7_Wb2L57jPyL1K8f
New @hwclondon (Homebrew Website Club London) site https://hwclondon.co.uk + new venue at WeWork South Bank Central. Join us Wed 12th - 6pm.
I've been working on a WebSub hub called Promulgate. It's fairly basic and although it passes the WebSub.rocks tests it needs a bit more polish. I'll probably also add background processing via Sidekiq so that publish requests aren't blocking.
I know of a superb graphic designer looking for his next role in the Windsor/Berkshire area. DM me for details if you're hiring.
Delighted after the first half of the #FACupFinal but nerves are kicking in. Chelsea can't be that bad in the second half can they?
A little test, posting from Micro.blog for the first time.
