List of "hot countries" our 6 year old said he'd like to go to on holiday: - France - Australia - Russia - Sainsburys - West Ham - Newcastle - Wolves 😆❤️

Tomorrow I'm assembling my team for the first time together in real life for workshops and /collaboration/ in a conference room. I had to dig around to find my Sharpies, Post-Its, exercise print-outs and an HDMI adapter. It's been a while!

Nice try, Apple... sending a kill command to brick my iPhone in the early hours of this morning on the day the shiny, new 13 is released. Sneaky. The display flickered forlornly before it finally gave up. Thankfully my mobile insurance covers a replacement 😥

I upgraded to iOS 15 and so far so good: - Forcing myself to use Safari's bottom address bar. - New 1Password extension is a big time-saver. - I tried iCloud+'s custom email domain support and it works perfectly, including on Big Sur. - Just waiting for Monterey.

Second COVID vaccination 💪. Feeling a bit sore in my arm but relieved to have had both doses.

I'm impressed with how easy it's been setting up #homebridge on my RaspberryPi to control my non-HomeKit devices. I'm slowly moving across from Alexa using plugins for a Dyson fan, Nest Cams, Tapo switches and a Govee light strip. 👌

I’m one of the lucky few to be going to #ENG v #CRO today at #EURO2020. First train, first tube, first crowd and first football match since COVID began! Excited but a bit nervous about it all.

"Get a safe, minimized version of your production database on your laptop in minutes" -- https://www.snaplet.dev This is a real developer problem that I've seen happen many times over, so I'm excited to see how Snaplet progresses.

Highly recommended: Stewart Lee’s Sharknado / Alan Bennett routine. Even better when the stage props fail.

Pre-ordered an iPhone 11 Pro earlier this afternoon, silver, 256GB. And so begins the passing down of devices through the family. I seriously considered the 11 but have been spoiled by the OLED screen on my X and didn’t want to downgrade to LCD.

Hottest day of the year (up around 34C) at the local village fete. Tombola win, burger, nice pint of real ale, ice cream and now home to cool down in front of the cricket.

Flying off to The Hague for a week for work this afternoon, so my Father’s Day treats have been cut short. I’ll miss my little monkeys.

At the Barbican today for the Lead Dev London conference. Strong start. I especially enjoyed seeing @lara_hogan for the first time. #leaddevlondon

I'm in San Jose for this week's @eBay Leaders conference. It's my first visit to California since 2001 and I'm quite enjoying it, especially the food markets downtown.

At Alexandra Palace for Ronnie O’Sullivan v Ding Junhui. My first #MastersSnooker match and lucky enough to see the Rocket in action.
