After joining in Jan 2008, being recognised as an influential tweeter at uni and making friends at conferences through here, I now hardly post at all.
Slightly more active on Threads and Reddit now.
See olivr.uk/social to see where else I am.
I've moved Bluesky to replace Twitter on my home screen in an effort for me to look at it more often. Feel free to follow me there.

However I'm using Threads more than Bluesky at the moment.

This is rather funny, and where I used to live up to when I went to uni. It's a very strange place at times, and John Hayes hasn't really helped its public image!
“We just can’t shake Sir John!”
We spent an hour being tailed by the local MP in the 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 Tory seat as @lewis_goodall tried to find anyone who’ll be voting for him…
My wife has been watching Puffin Rock on @netflix with our daughter recently.
We've also got back into The Big Door Prize on @AppleTV with the new season 2.
Chris O'Dowd (@BigBoyler) narrates Puffin Rock and stars in The Big Door Prize.
Chris's character in The Big Door Prize gifts his wife puffins all the time.
Is there a Chris O'Dowd Puffin-verse which we don't know about?!

For "Help A Horse Day" this week, I played "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" by Big & Rich on my radio show.
How this might apply to other modes of transport...
✈️ Skip The Plane (Ride A Pilot)
🚢 Jump Ship (Sail The Captain)
🚕 Cancel The Uber (Tip The Driver)
For some reason, someone liked this tweet of mine from 2011. I guess it's because of @antanddec's #SaturdayNightTakeaway finale.
Man, I'm going to miss SNT.
It's Good Friday! So from 9pm tonight, I will be playing just the 'goodest' songs of all time for you! As well as two fresh new tracks and a look back at this week. The Today Show, 9-11pm every Friday, only on @PCRSTUDIO.

If a baby falling asleeping on you stops you from doing anything, that's called a nap trap.
If you're breastfeeding and it stops you from doing other things, it must be called a boobie trap.
Do AirPort Time Capsule devices still work with Apple Silicon devices?
Someone local is selling an AirPort Time Capsule, 3rd Gen (late 2009), and I'm unsure if it will work with my MacBook Pro, Apple Silicon, running macOS Ventura.
Off to some computer network training today at @SFLGroup.
Hopefully I'll find out why the user of computer #404 can't find their device.
Who needs to hear this?
If you put a QR code in a social media post, the user won't be able to scan it with their phone if they're viewing it on their phone.
Yes, if it's seen on desktop they *could* get their phone out and point it at the screen, but *will* they?
Can you spot the spelling error and omission from the 5 & 5a @Stagecoach_East leaflet?
"Perterborough" and no first bus time announcement like all the others.
A bit peculiar!

This isn't going to get messy quickly for @bauermedia brands at all...
Our Alexa skill has been rebranded Rayo without any announcements.
Yet all the station websites still live on Planet Radio.
Rayo isn't available on Android, so surely they won't start using that brand on air?
Have newborn parents found themselves going to bed earlier so you can hopefully get some more sleep overnight? 😴
Half way through my second week of paternity leave, and the biggest fear I have about going back to work next week...
The number of Windows updates my computer will make when I turn it back on!
My show is about to start over on PCR FM. Lots of songs with "baby" in them to celebrate the arrival of my daughter!
I'm still on @yourpcrfm tonight, 9-11pm, however The Today Show is pre-recorded with 'the baby show' before @chrsmi covers the slot for 4 weeks.
