The AirPods Pro 3 are genuinely next level in terms of fit. I always used to think I must have really weird ears to never see people complaining just how much time you had to spent pressing them back in… I don’t think I’ve touched the 3’s after I’ve put them in once yet.

I’ll be there! If anyone wants to chat about anything Advanced Custom Fields, look for me in the ACF hat!

In Austin again this week. Today, I finally went to Interstellar BBQ after being told for the last 2 years I have to get out there, I figured it was gunna just be the same as standard downtown BBQ, but it really isn’t… it’s next level, and totally as good as everyone says.

I wasn’t expecting my coffee machine to also have the emergency alert test and siren, but at least I know I’ll be safe during the 5 minutes I’m stood there each morning.

I hope BlueSky can implement this feature soon: github.com/bluesky-soci... It’s the one missing feature that really ruins the timeline at the moment.

South Gloucestershire launched a new recycling collection system last week, and the best part is it has an API which contains hidden live status. This means, I can now make my home assistant integration show the live status of each collection.

Some beautiful vortexes from the Shamrock tonight. And a train that doesn’t stop at Didcot so feels about 15m faster.

Picked a great day to travel from Heathrow. The tunnel closure meant no cars could get to the airport this morning, and everyone tried to use the trains… which led to platform overcrowding so they cancelled all the trains too…

I have literally never received a message over RCS that wasn't spam since I enabled it on iOS.

Managed to build a garden that, virtually every day this week, a new flower has appeared. Today’s turn is this spectacular Dahlia!

Waking up to new flowers blossoming is a pretty great benefit to having a garden.

Maybe it’ll wear off eventually, but Apple Music’s new automix feature delights virtually every time. Even when it’s super goofy, it’s just delightful.

Got to experience a Texas storm today. It’s wild how different it is to a storm in the UK. From calm to intense strong winds in a flash, coupled with heavy rain and so much lightning, and then it’s all over again just as quick as it started.

Technology drove me to Starbucks. America is great.

A 6am wake up hopefully means I’ve dominated jet lag on day one. Hello, Austin!

I did a workout this morning with Workout Buddy and AI music mixing in iOS/WatchOS 26... it's just delightful. I'm glad Apple focused on the small features that bring delight this year. #WWDC25 (Although, no more compact tabs in Desktop Safari is still unforgivable)

Is this the year we finally get iCloud Time Machine? #WWDC

I never realised how much I’d enjoy gardening before I bought a house. Now I just want to spend all my free time out here.

The hard late winter and early spring lawn maintenance has paid off.

@smarthound.uk Since I moved to a house with both Gas / Elec, the app regularly just falls stops loading data for one source. If I reinstall the app, it immediate repopulates on open. Any debugging I can do to help you pinpoint why?

Using Advanced Custom Fields PRO (ACF) on WordPress? We’d love your help testing the first of the many big new features we’re planning for 2025 - these features require some fundamental refactors, and ACF 6.4 brings the first of these. www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/acf-pro...

Very very excited. The folks who made Twitter so good for so many years are here to save the day.

My twitter subscription is about to expire, and obviously I’m not giving them any more money… Is there any good Mac apps for Bluesky yet?

@frederikdep.bsky.social turn on the sub button 🤨

I wish Bluesky’s iOS app would let you resize when you run it on a Mac. Or maybe Tweetbot can make a Bluesky client and it could actually replace X for me.

Currently in a very sunny hot Malta in a cool dark room watching Counter Strike

@rephex.bsky.social hi rephex

I found some BlueSky

⚽️

Sunday morning gym walk is always the best. Bath at its quietest and most beautiful.

Last week at #WCEU I demoed how to build a WordPress Slider/Carousel Block with ACF Blocks. The code is available here: https://github.com/lgladdy/wceu-acf-block-demo The block is completely portable (as a plugin), containing its own fields and assets.

Pickems very dependant on G2 and Faze today… not scary at all. #BLASTMajor #CounterStrike

At this point, surely Valve have either got some technical issue with the pickems/viewer pass? I guess they might have been waiting for Brazy Party to end, but they could have released after the final last night if that was the case. 🤔

I hope there is already a contingent of Counter-Strike twitter who’ve already made it over to here. Pickems launch tomorrow, and we’ve got a Major to discuss next week! 🎉

Expect lots of stuff about WordPress, Counter-Strike esports and general UK nonsense. Hopefully bluesky can capture the magic of early twitter.

👋 Hello!
