At the House of Commons on Thursday evening for the Open UK awards. @universalviewer.io got runner up in the Community Category. An amazing experience and lovely to meet the other nominees.

Claude Opus 4.5 is *super* good. Had Gemini 3 trying to fix something and it was tying itself in recursive knots. Opus nailed it in one go.

Recognising the Power of Community Collaboration, the @universalviewer.io project (universalviewer.io) is shortlisted in the 6th Annual OpenUK Awards Community category sponsored by @Arm, taking place on 4th December at the House of Commons, thanks to Dame Chi Onwurah for hosting. #openukawards

Have been trying out GPT-5-Codex for the last couple of weeks. Started getting frustrated with how slow it is, so switched back to Claude Sonnet 4.5. Noticed an immediate improvement in speed, but also more "You're absolutely rights". Thinking time seems to be the fundamental trade-off.

I'm going to be presenting "PayloadCMS: A Practical Case Study" at the next Brighton Web Development meetup. If you're curious about @payload.dev and want an introduction with lots of code examples, this is for you :-) www.meetup.com/brighton-web...

JSX is the new HTML, react is the new JavaScript.

Numberblocks by the BBC is worth the license fee on its own. My 3 year old boy gets two episodes a day max and is obsessed with numbers. He's already starting to get an intuition for multiplication.

Happening later today 👇 #GLAM #GLAM3D #Interoperability #Digitisation #3D

I love how stoked Guy Leverton is for Cornish pasties and surfing: youtube.com/@guyleverton...

I've just gotten support added for starting a session & loading Google Maps map tiles with NASA-AMMOS/3DTilesRendererJS -- now you'll be able to load Google maps street & satellite data in three.js. Now I have to find time to make demos 😅 🗺️🛰️✨ #threejs #webgl #maps #3dtiles

Big news: Payload is joining @figma.com! More: payloadcms.com/posts/blog/p...

Woah - Figma just acquired Payload?! Interesting move to acquire a CMS - seem like part of their Figma to AI + Code strategy? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wvo...

The kids' garden is getting there. Willow structures are growing nicely 😊

Each model I use in vscode has a different "personality". Have been trying Gemini 2.5 Pro these last few days. It's definitely smart, but compared to Claude 3.7 Sonnet it plays a bit fast and loose, seemingly ignoring file references. Almost like it's prioritising speed over correctness.

Really enjoying working with @payload.dev on a project. Combined with Neon db and @vercel.com hosting, it's pretty slick!

Spent a sunny afternoon making a living willow play den for my boys. #happywiththat

Snapped this today on Devil's Dyke. My son Joseph was drawing on the walls of a (safe) derelict building with a lump of chalk he'd found, then happened to peek out of the window at his mum and little brother.
