Have been loving playing Brotato in co-op with my partner. It's been a joy focusing more on co-ops, but Brotato is just so immediate and clear in its controls and intent, really helped my partner engage immediately.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Spending the day relaxing ahead of new job starting on Monday. It's been a wild year!

If anyone is feeling extra generous then today would be a great day to donate to my fundraiser for @therescuehotel:

Yesterday was my last day at Nightingale HQ.

Role started as a placement three years ago, it's been a joy to work with this start-up. They've supported me so much throughout the early stages of my tech career and I've so much to thank them for.

Onto the next thing (which starts on 1st Sept...🚀)

Hotels As Homes #mondaymusicmaking
Made from my hotel in Odense, largely using Native Instruments Reaktor which is old and has size 1 font but is fun to use. Vocals recorded on a dictaphone I took with me for my the conference.

Been having a great time using Expressive Code, a package strongly tied to @astro.build , and doing a great job of code syntax styling & click to copy. Here's some of what Adam Prendergast and I are building in the Umbraco + Astro "Build a Dev Blog" workshop at UmBristol, UmbraCymru and CodeGarden!

Nylon string guitar + Digitakt. Playing around with this idea for a new song, going through the process of playing it everyday and listening to what's missing or what happens next or what's being said.

One of my least favourite UI decisions of OneDrive is that if you disable sync then they disable Settings

Tomorrow I have the insane honour of performing three of my JacksorJacksor songs with Roath Chamber Orchestra. Truly bizarre experience. If you're near Cardiff it's a free concert too!

On the train back from giving my talk "Process Maps As Code with Mermaid" at @umbracospark.bsky.social. It involved an Umbracalele. I had a room of 160 devs singing along to me performing "Part Of Your World".
