First time at Camden’s Electric Ballroom in about 20 years to see Teenage Fanclub revisit albums from my youth tonight. Loved every moment.

I’m very excited to share that I’m joining @Gumtree as CTO next week. I can’t wait to get started with my new colleagues in the @GumtreeDevTeam and @eBay family 🎉

I’ve got a couple of people asking me for freelancer referrals for some light website development and SEO work. DM me and I’ll put you in touch.

I'm off today to my first Silicon Milkroundabout as a candidate. After several of the early shows as an exhibitor I'm looking forward to attending as a punter. #smrmay18

I finished the Fantasy Premier League @OfficialFPL season in 2,644th place (out of 5.9M). Not too shabby. More importantly, I topped our little work mini league.

Registered myself for the Builders’ Day at May’s AWS Summit London. I’m hoping to attend the Serverless sessions.

First proper night out after the second baby for the last night of Stewart Lee’s Content Provider tour at the Royal Festival Hall. As always, brilliant, even sitting at the back among the “Friends of the South Bank”.

Arsène Wenger became Arsenal's manager when I was 17. Throughout my adult life - university, jobs, relationships, marriage and two kids - he's been a constant. It's a strange, sad feeling that he's going. #MerciArsène for the beautiful football, the trophies and so many highs.

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 🤞

Posting a test note from the new Micro.blog Mac app.

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.
