I'm good for now thanks Apple. My M1 Max is still going strong. 👍 www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/...

Having to "wait 48 hours" to unsubscribe from a mailing list you never subscribed to 🤬

Happy St David's Day/ Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant hapus!

After 5 years of turning dj mixes into spotify playlists it looks like I'll have to retire mixes.it in it's current form due to changes on the Spotify API. 😢

Went for a run. Now my old man legs are all broken.

Hetzner just emailed prices are going up 30%+ for my servers from 1st April citing AI related infrastructure demand. Full list of changes here: docs.hetzner.com/general/infr...

If an agentic coder writes some code in the woods and no-one is around to see it, then did it make a difference?

Wow, sunshine - a rare sight round here. ☀️

Love the choice of music to announce this.

Enjoyed the first episode of Hannah Fry's new AI Confidential series. Shedding light on the human impact of AI. Was counting all the Black Mirror stories that are in this. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Requested my twitter archive. Crazy/scary that Elon has 1.2GB of data on me.

Absolutely shattered from being woken at 4am by noisy machinery and workmen in our street. 😴

Someone setup OpenClaw instance and instructed it to buy a mac mini with $50. It set up a domain and is now selling digital products via gumroad 🤯: www.reddit.com/r/SideProjec...

Raspberry Pi shares are up 32% today on insider trading and OpenClaw hype. 👀

Happy Annual Danny-John Jules appreciation day! 🥞https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj_aHCpZl4k

Checks calendar, nope not April yet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well, that's certainly one approach to getting a job in AI: steipete.me/posts/2026/o...

Finally watched RRR and it's the most amazing thing I've seen in ages.

Ugh, Chrome's split view is the most annoying thing. There's a window manager in MacOS thanks. The amount of times I want to move windows around and it locks them to one window and I have to find them again to separate. Disabled. 👎

Ah, the daily whackamole against my mac notifications of putting off the Tahoe update until it is absolutely compulsory.

Interesting new book "Architecting on Cloudflare" by Jamie Lord architectingoncloudflare.com

Prof Paul Dolan and Norman Cook performed a bunch of experiments at one of his gigs to measure the happiness of the crowd. Pretty impressive that Norman's own heart rate was in the top 5% of the crowd for most of the evening! www.fatboyslim.net/2026/02/04/h...

Silicon Valley accurately predicted the vibe coding era.

Guh, business YouTubers with their idea videos are like "I made 1 t-shirt for my mate and earned $20, what business next?" after spending $8k on printing equipment for a video.

What do you use to capture digital notes? Never got on with obsidian and notion seems overly complex.

New Daphni album dropped to make your life brighter. Will be coding to this for the next little while: caribouband.bandcamp.com/album/butter...

Ooh, how good is this? A BBC Micro styled RPi 500+ www.raspberrypi.com/news/beige-i...

Someone went ahead and created a done-for-you openclaw provider. Can imagine there will be quite a few of them cropping up. How long before we get a breach from them?

Openclaw has gone from 0 to 160k stars in the space of 2 months 🦞🤯

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

Thank you YouTube algorithm for this great suggestion: youtu.be/EWO1-WE4oNw?...

My newsletter this month is about, perhaps unsurprisingly -openclaw. newsletter.ianwootten.co.uk/openclaw-the...

Pinch, punch, no returns 🤏🤜

I love that the virality of openclaw makes every reporters commentary about its name or numbers seem wildly out of date.

This will make for an interesting Monday!

School just emailed to say they're no longer going to use X 👍 Now only communicating via facebook, instagram or the pdf's they attach to emails 🤦‍♂️

"We take a look at your company and think about a number that you are probably willing to pay" - @steipete.me succinctly sums up why enterprise prices often don't appear on vendor websites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lF7...

Discovered that a whole bunch of business books by the likes of Morgan Housel, James Clear et al are being ripped off on AliExpress and dropshipped to uk via ebay. Looks like they're all badly printed on wafer thin paper. Sellers with like 100k items sell one of these and then a load of random tat.

Even Linus Torvalds is vibe coding now. He used Google Antigravity for part of a recent "AudioNoise" guitar pedal project for a Python sample visualiser. github.com/torvalds/Aud...

Another day, another bot. How do people deal with this? I'm self hosting at the moment.

Just encountered what I think is the worst educational blog post. It went something like this: "In order to fix it I had to change this one setting and it solved everything." And that's it, end of post - minus any useful information. I mean it was on medium, so figures.

May have to make me one of these. The first Nintendo DS flashcart powered by an RPi Pico: github.com/LNH-team/dsp...

Loved listening to this interview with Fatboy Slim where he really digs into how he made all his music on an Atari ST. So cool that his latest track "Satisfaction Skank" was done the same way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-UO... Was beaming throughout as I basically lived big beat in my teens. 😀

Amazon missed a trick in that He-Man trailer by not putting Battlecat in the MGM logo.

Paddle payments via Paypal stopped working on a site I migrated to Django. Wrote some words on fixing it if you're facing the same. www.ianwootten.co.uk/2026/01/22/f...

I swear I'm getting spam signups to my ghost newsletter even with double opt-in enabled. To the point of more than actual users. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Can't believe its taken til 21st for me to update my footers to "2026". Getting slack in my old age.

Are spam bots clever enough to get round double-opt in these days? Seeing suspicious (to me) activity on my newsletter sign ups.

C'mon cloudflare you're better than this.
