I was a super early backer on the RollingSquare #AirCard. They didn’t send it out for some reason, then after lots of back and fourth and lots more waiting it finally arrived a year later, and it won’t turn on. My advice, stick to official air tags 😅 this is a piece of junk.

Woohoo! Finally, we have WCAG 2.2. Grace period for transition will likely start from today, with monitoring and reporting against UK Public Sector Bodies kicking in from October 2024.

Yesterday we got #WCAG 2.2 and 9 new criteria. Under the Public Sector Bodies #Accessibility Regulations, you need to work to the latest version to be compliant, so I've written a blog post on what #WCAG22 might mean for you! #a11y craigabbott.co.uk/blog/wcag-22-a…

I've just pushed version 1.5.0 of WCAGify and it has been updated to use WCAG 2.2. npmjs.com/package/wcagify #a11y #accessibility #wcag

Hey Richard Morton (he/him), on this GOVUK Guidance it mentions both GDS and CDDO in the monitoring section. It’s not clear who is the monitoring and reporting body anymore. Has there there been a reshuffle of responsibility? Or is it a typo? gov.uk/guidance/acces…

I think I just found the exact moment I got into accessibility. A tweet in January 2016, after a talk by Alistair Duggin at GDS in Holborn. Man do you have a lot to answer for. 😆

A photo I took of the Red Footed Falcon that recently visited Northumberland. Alt: Small bird of prey with a speckled underside and dark wings, with a short sharp beak and black mask. It’s on a rock amongst dry grass against a clear sky, sideways on looking over its shoulder.

If you back something on Kickstarter and when it finally arrives it’s broken, what options do you have? I’ve reached out to the creator and did everything they asked, sending videos of it not working etc, and now they’re just ignoring me 😅 #Kickstarter

I give up. I quit. Twitter is awful. These are some places I remain active, if you want to connect. LinkedIn: uk.linkedin.com/in/abbott567 Mastodon: a11y.info/@craigabbott Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/craiga…
