So this isn't exactly new given I've not really tweeted in months, but given the current direction of the platform and y'know... The Guy, I'm not intending to actively be around here anymore Catch me on some other platform that's at least a little bit less of a dumpster fire 👋

So I got unexpectedly made redundant last week and I'm still grieving for that. To keep myself sane, I'm starting to get stuck back into writing for @cardboardchamps with Ina, so if you like #boardgame waffling, please swing by and drop us a follow! It helps beat back the sadness

Hey @wizzair @WizzAirUK_W9 - Letting me know with less than 24 hours notice that my flight is flying to a different airport 500KM from where I was intending to fly isn't exactly OK, your existing bookings phoneline is broken, and your web chat is useless. Am I just screwed here?

Oh hey, I managed to get through after repeated attempts to your chat. Three times. And had the agents immediately leave the chat without saying anything. What is even the point of this?

One more addition to this - The whole reason I can't do anything about this myself is because it's been put through as a "terminal change" not a significant flight schedule change. Yes, changing to a terminal at a different airport that's 500km away is indeed a terminal change...
Hello yes, I would like the sun to go away. Thanks.

One of the few downsides of fully remote working appears - power cut has taken me offline, and my laptop has run out of battery. Local coffee shops within walking distance have no power sockets available for customer use. If the world could catch up, that would be great!

Noticing a sad trend in the flavours of LinkedIn sales spam that I've had since changing roles: Old: "Hey I like CS, you like CS, let's talk and network (also by the way I'm selling something)" New: "BUY MY PRODUCT, CONNECT WITH ME TO BUY, PLEASE" I like the old version more.
Finally had someone DM me a torrent of abuse for my "PC bull" today. I feel like I'm finally worthy of joining some elite club of people who are capable of having empathy...

Some said an open-world experience this immersive wasn’t possible. But it’s already here. And you don’t even need silly VR headsets. Introducing, ✨Icelandverse✨ #icelandverse

New pet peeve - software companies that send emails with titles like "Product Update - August 2021" from a human name. I get it, you don't want to seem like a faceless company. But please tell me what product you're talking about so that I can decide if I care about your update
Now accepted as canon. SCORM *is* incredibly obnoxious.

This is a perfect example of why I have absolutely no faith in the people of this country, or any desire to have anything to do with football or its fans. Complete disgrace.
Bottles thrown as Leicester Square, London, becomes unofficial ‘fan zone’ for thousands of England fans. #ENGITA #EnglandvsItaly #England #ENG #EURO2020

Appsembler sprint reviews typically feature a gif or image related to whatever sprint number we're wrapping up. The cheesier the better. As today marks the end of Sprint 90, I want to show some appreciation for this glorious submission by (I think) @CodySonOfSteve. Perfection👏

"GAH, WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?! I CAN'T EVEN-" console.leg is not a function. Oh.
So it was pretty great to see #Eurovision back on, but are we just going to ignore that Ukraine's music video happens to include a Mad Max version of Brum?

When doing upgrade testing, it's important to make sure that the vital features of your platform still function
