It’s been one of those days when everything moves in the right direction. I’ve had days like this before, but today, it felt more significant.
It’s not even October, and I have already had two mince pies. The supermarkets should just sell them all year round.
I was sad to read this morning that Pivotal Tracker, the project management tool for software teams, will be discontinued at the end of April next year.
It was the first project management tool I used as a web developer during my first permanent role using Ruby on Rails.
A south-facing office window has its ups and downs.
On the upside, bright sunny days like today are great for looking outside, and the office is well-lit throughout the day. On the downside, it means some serious squinting of the eyes is needed to read the code on my monitors.
It’s a big coffee morning.

My favourite feature of iOS 18 is the changes to the home screen. Dark mode icons and the ability to place apps freely on the screen are welcome additions.
Another great Sunday afternoon golfing with Drew.

I’m pre-ordering two new iPhone 16s today and giving my old iPhone 14 Pro to my youngest. This is my first time pre-ordering an iPhone.
Still scrolling through Reddit’s /r/coolguides group thanks to @Annie’s earlier post. So many good guides!
It’s that wonderful time of year when I can golf in the afternoon with the boys, head home for a Sunday roast dinner, and watch a couple of NFL games in the evening.
