Mrs J wants to record a podcast with me, talking about the crossover between education and tech but with a comical twist (think Shagged Married Annoyed but obviously not as funny).

Latest #GoogleSheets hack extracts all the tracks from @housefinesse.com show notes (as they’re always ordered lists) into a dedicated sheet of tracks split by artist and track title.
All thanks to a few #ChatGPT prompts, this went from idea to reality in about 15 minutes.

Final push of our @petals.team app redesign is ON.
It’s been in the works for months and challenging at times but I’m actually quite proud of what we’ve put together during this project.
Now we need to get some user feedback. What can go wrong‽

Someone just compared our third party due diligence process to the game Guess Who…
"Does it have a moustache?"
Interesting analogy and quite a fun approach to eliminate options.

They say you should never meet your heroes but today, I got to interview one of my musical heroes for my @housefinesse.com podcast and it was wonderful fun.
He was very humble, relatable and easy to bounce off which, after 30 years in the industry, says it all.

If you missed #WallaceAndGromit on BBC yesterday, watch it today.
Absolute gem of a production, definitely one of their best productions at Aardman.
So many clever little references from classic & modern pop culture whilst preserving those (Northern) English undertones.
Loved it! 🤖
