Hello. Hope the day is treating you well. Here's a photo of a beautiful morning in Murrisk looking out to Clew Bay.

This is such an exciting day for me, with the premiere of the film made about my 17 years rewilding an Irish Atlantic rainforest (also the film's title). What a surreal moment in my life it'll be to see the ecosystem I know and love so well on a big cinema screen!!

At #DrupalCamp England 2026, the conversation shifts from capability to consequence. Sessions by Maria Young, David Bishop, and Antje Lorch examine real accessibility failures, AI at scale, and the environmental and social costs of adoption. https://bit.ly/4scUkTY ##Accessibility #AI

Drupal turned 25 last week. Lots of great posts, but my favourite was Hayden Baillio doing his best attempt at wooing Drupal.

Started web dev same year as #Drupal. Joined at Drupal 8. That first theme is still running on Drupal 10. We’ve aged and kept moving. #Drupal25Words #CelebrateDrupal #Drupal25

Goodbye 2025. Fare thee well. You were gone in the blink of an AI.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Eyeries Cascades, nearby on the Kealincha River. There's still some residual oak, rowan, willow, and other native tree species around, but I can't help imagining how magical this must have been when it was enclosed in thick, wild Atlantic rainforest. Without sheep, it could be again. #Rewilding 🌎

People who don't want their OS watching their activity get nonstop notifications begging them to enable it. Meanwhile visually impaired people can't even get 2005-era OCR as a standard feature. The AI industry doesn't ever seem interested in solving problems they didn't fabricate.

As a rainforest forms naturally all around this boulder, so do the more sheltered, humid conditions allow a rich bed of mosses and other plants to recolonise. Continual nature loss is not inevitable: the reverse is equally possible. #Rewilding 🌍

The most common mistake for new Linux users is confusing apt update with apt upgrade. Update just refreshes the list of available software; you must run it first to ensure you install the latest, most secure packages. jamesfmcgrath.org/apt-update-c...

Reading the RTÉ piece on Ireland’s tech sector and this line stayed with me: “Organisations must invest in continuous learning, upskilling and reskilling.” It has been a hard year in tech, but we still need skilled people and real pathways that help people grow.

The secret to a safer website is automated patching, serving as a seamless, quiet security update. It's automatic protection running in the background, minimizing risk without disruption. jamesfmcgrath.org/automated-pa...

Have you checked the accessibility of your site recently? It’s worth making it part of your regular maintenance routine. Small fixes add up and help make the web a better place. They also help your content get noticed. Reach out if you need a hand.

Tried Google Antigravity after watching their YouTube demo. Used the exact same prompt. Their app looked slick. Mine did not. Gave it feedback and it replied with “Recovering from Failure…” as if I’d hurt its feelings. 😭 Didn’t realise AI came with emotional patch notes.

It’s not your job to fix the internet

Cloudflare is having a rough morning and the Global Network seems to be wobbling. Days like this remind me how much of the internet quietly leans on a handful of services to stay upright. It is a good time to check your own fallback plans. #cloudflare #devops #webperf #internetinfrastructure

I really enjoyed this LocalGov Drupal Week session yesterday. Great turnout, lots of engagement and a smart look at how AI can help councils modernise how they publish content. If you missed it, the recording is well worth a watch. #LocalGovDrupal #Drupal #OpenSource #PublicSector #AI
