Milestone at work as HMS Glasgow was officially named. Lots of work to get to this point and lots of pressure on the comms team to get this event right. Well done all.
Week one with Zen has been fantastic although tonight – not so good. Outage for last hour with large pings and horrendous speeds. Zen or Cityfibre issue? No idea but not happy.
Sam and Jony sitting in a tree. Intrigued to see what Jony Ive will build with OpenAI although his last few years at Apple weren’t exactly great. Still a great mind and like others have said, phones can’t last forever as our primary computer interface.
Meanwhile, over at Microsoft, it’s all agents and AI. To be fair there are lots of others saying the same but some of Nadella’s statements sound like bullshit. Idiotic even.
Stack Overflow has been an amazing resource for the last couple of decades however its usage is dropping…scarily so. Down to surge in AI? Or people tired of the arrogance?
Farewell Pocket. I loved Pocket for so long but moved off it as I tried other services that offered a little bit more – it had turned into another sinkhole of articles that I had to read. I wonder if Mozilla will sell it on to Kevin Rose?
I’ve been tempted for a while to pick up a Stream Deck but never quite got there. Elgato have now launched a Virtual Stream Deck so I’ll be giving it a go to see if it helps from a productivity perspective. They are also doing some interesting hardware for third parties – I could see some kickstarters adding in Stream Deck support.
The Thick of It is one of my favourite series – this interview of Armando Iannucci, Peter Capaldi and others is great. Can relate to the swearing coming naturally for Glaswegians.
