I’ve been experimenting with digital tools to simplify how I work, play and invest. Logging what’s actually useful (plus a travelogue) over at intgom.com. Surprisingly fun to dust off my ancient HTML skills. Turns out, still handy, even in the age of AI.

Starlink’s role in Ukraine is critical, easing anxieties while alternatives remain far behind. But Europe mustn’t use this as an excuse to delay investment - 000s more satellites, lower orbits, and more advanced tech are needed. Future resilience depends on it. #starlink #eutelsat #oneweb #ukraine

In 1994, Ukraine gave up its nukes in exchange for security guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum. In 2014, Russia tore it up. In 2022, it launched full-scale war. Will the West break its word again? Weakness now won’t bring peace-it will invite the next war.

Goodie Maps on left and Apple Maps on right. Well done Apple - keep resisting! View from UK.

Midlife crisis continues, this time on a jet ski. Fun, fun, fun, even if they did call me “abuelo”.
This time, I could keep up with the young ‘uns! #tenerife #jetski #oldman

Saw this up front on bus taking me from hotel to airport at end of a wonderful week in sunny Tenerife. Was angry and astounded at the tone deaf nature of it, seemingly prioritising Russian speakers over others. As Ukraine faces more dark times ahead, Russian money rules, even in the Canaries 😡

Johnny does kayaking at sea and very quickly realises he’s unfit and can’t keep up with the kids anymore 😥 Muscles aching the day after so it was clearly a good workout!

Early morning beach walk with Luna, just as the sun was rising. #portobello #portobellobeach

Three little (word that cannot be spoken until December) trees on our gate this morning 🎄

Husband and I spent a week in and around Malaga last month. On one evening, strolling around the marina, we spotted this tall ship departing. An interesting take on cruising and just a bit more than curious as to the experience on board...

Spotted this on a recent beach walk. A sign of things to come? #bluesky
