CastRooms continues btw. Last year was a tricky year to raise money 😱 but our commercial pipeline is 🔥 rn so it's time for a bit of bootstrapping 💪🏻

First time in a proper office for about four years today. New role at Sport England for FF Studio took me to Canary Wharf and I kinda loved the alien dystopia vibes

Morning everyone! Long break from socials over Christmas is over and I'm dragging myself into 2024 for real now :)

I'm looking for new work too. Mostly I lead teams working on early stage products. If you have any suggestions or introductions I'm all ears 🙏🏼

I am so ready for this year to be done

Tech support for a dying parent. Frustrating, chaotic, time-consuming, unpredictable. But, also, the kind of support that I am uniquely qualified to give, and most of all a chance to spend more ambient unfocused time chatting about whatevs while the backups whirr away ♥️♥️♥️

Fun. So fun I missed my train stop 🤦🏻‍♂️

love all of this. also needed to hear it today!

♥️♥️♥️

Love matching the widespread user need (services need to collect information 😱) with the systems play (more agency to people closer to the work, easier to be reliable and accessible, cheaper cos less custom dev required, faster feedback loops)

So deep in prep for tonight that I forgot to even mention that we're doing something special...

Can't quite believe we've got Bimini, Black Peppa and a ton of other acts on CastRooms tonight! We Stand With You is a variety show to show support for the trans community. Soundchecking now and they sound sick...

Come! All money goes to Not A Phase 🏳️‍⚧️

I need to improve email deliverability of a domain we use. Does you have any recommendations for tools or services that you've used to diagnose existing email deliverability problems for a domain?

Bluesky feeling populous is nice. I have invites if you want

This is a really clear and compelling bit of writing about why a focus on efficiency - which is so widespread in the workplace that it feels like the dreaded 'common sense' - is actively harmful when it comes to generating new innovations 👏🏼
