Lucked in to seeing the ISS fly over Dublin just now. Always bowls me over to see it speed across the sky.

Ok, maybe blogging was a good idea. 5 posts on the Tito blog in the last 10 days.
The latest, "Introducing IO” is us officially announcing our new product that I’ve only teased.
I absolutely loved working with @billhorsman on this. I claim more commits, but he claims both more code contributed and more code deleted.
Build software. ✅
Talk about it. ✅
Next stop: Shipping it at a major international event tech conference in February.

@asymco Do you have / have you tried the Citroen Ami? It's been announced for Ireland and I'm really, really tempted. So many of my trips are within a 20km radius and mostly <50km/h driving zones.

If in doubt about a social platform, I read what Manton has written, usually 5 years before something comes to my attention. 😁

This is by far the weirdest thing about the exodus to Bluesky. There’s a massive elephant in the room and people don’t seem to either care or be aware. Maybe the network, the protocol, the design with withstand the risk of weirdness. The energy is great over there. Undeniable. But we’ve seen this before: with Twitter!! Can’t but fear the piper will have to be paid at some point.

Dublin airport is a paid or calm right now. Makes air travel almost bearable.
Reminds me of @danilo talking recently about Hipmunk’s “agony” metric: I would love a metric when booking flights that highlights “probable airport busy-ness”. Busy airports stress me out so much!

Vanity metrics really don't confer much other than superficial pride and superficial trust, but I'll take the win!

TIL that 1Password has a CLI and you can store local app secrets in it and SSH keys. That is really rather smart.

Got Covid and flu shots today.
Pharmacist: “why did you decide to get the flu vaccine?”
My answer summed up as: “I’m getting older.”

I hate that this is true, but it is true, and something I often think about. I suspect a lot of folks in the US don't realise just how pervasive US culture is, certainly in Ireland and the UK, and how much of an effect it has on us. Same is true for UK politics and the effect on Ireland.

There needs to be a kobayashi maru for actors who want to do Irish accents onscreen. It would involve travelling around Ireland drinking tea and trying to pass themselves off as a local without detection.

“Only Murders in the Building” is fun, but please, for the love of all that is Irish, please don’t ever ask a non-Irish actor to do an Irish accent unless it’s been approved by an Irish person. Asking for a nation.

The cookie-policy paradox:
If you see a banner saying “we care about privacy” before you interact with a website, they don’t care about privacy.

Thanks to @mwichary and his utterly incredible talk at @smashingconf as the Mystery Speaker, I have discovered that “create your own pixel font" is as wholesome and engaging for an 8yo as you could possibly imagine.

Solar panels on stilts in Antwerp. I always wonder why there aren’t more of these. Even for residential installations. Surely stilts allow you to always install panels facing the most optimal direction?

Fair enough Sail and Rail is a long old journey. Almost 12 hours total from leaving the house to Edinburgh centre. But there are so many benefits:
It’s essentially a day’s work while on the move. Like all travel, it’s tiring, but it’s so manageable and much less stress overall than flying.
