Success rate of my Apple Watch unlocking my MacBook Pro is now in the 90s% 👍
Enjoyed and learned something from each of the sessions at #mtpcon today, with ideas to take back to @venntrodev
> When your house is on fire you don’t wait to see if it goes out by itself, you call 999 straight away. -- @arseblog on Arsenal's inaction over Centre Back injuries. Clearly negligent to start the season so unprepared.
As a user of an Advanced (Acorn) Risc Machines chip in my Archimedes in the 80s/90s, I'm a bit sad it's being sold abroad http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36822806
I would love the option to check in via @foursquare when I use my @getmondo card. I may not have signal but Mondo knows where card is used.
Nothing much further to add to #brexit. I voted for us to stay in, but now that we're (going to be) out, the sooner we can stabilise the economy, society and politics the better. The Thick Of It's "omnishambles" feels more appropriate a term than ever.
Watching The Clangers with my son. Granny Clanger gives Small Clanger a knitted scarf. But they're each made from knitted wool so it's basically a flesh scarf. Horrific. https://barryf.s3.amazonaws.com/clangers-scarf.png
I'm going to this evening's popup Homebrew Website Club in London: https://indiewebcamp.com/events/2016-06-15-homebrew-website-club
Ballsy recruitment experiment from @stripe: inviting whole teams of 2-5 to apply to work together. https://stripe.com/blog/bring-your-own-team
I get spam: "It's been a busy few weeks for us here at [marketing spam co]" Not as busy as it's been for my Report Spam shortcut fingers...
Receiving push notifications (with emoji!) even before you put your @getmondo card away is pretty cool https://barryf.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mondo.jpg

Sad about @IFTTT dropping @Pinboard, but requiring services to change integrations (and accept ToS) is back-to-front https://blog.pinboard.in/2016/03/my_heroic_and_lazy_stand_against_ifttt/
New favourite podcast: @AthleticoMince. @realbobmortimer and @profanityswan talking about football and other nonsense in their brains.
Recent communication at work is exclusively via emoji reactions (reacji?) in Slack: 👍 👏 and 👀. Living the monosyllabic reclusive boss dream.
The apps in my Panasonic TV broke last night. Turns out Netflix etc. must phone home to a Panasonic URL even if it's down https://www.avforums.com/threads/network-issue-with-panasonic-cloud-services-for-lcd-tv-with-firefox-os.1985724/page-7#post-23313595
Woken up last night by one beep somewhere in house. No idea if it was for smoke, baby, security, etc. #IoT idea: beep monitoring/reporting.
