The mission patch to celebrate the digital services supporting the Autumn/Winter 2025 seasonal vaccination campaigns.

I absolutely bloody love Haim, and they didn’t disappoint this evening.

Enjoyed drinks and a curry in Birmingham this evening alongside 6 familiar faces to celebrate an astonishing anniversary; 20 years ago this month, 4 web developers met in Walsall, and the Multipack was born.

The concourse at Euston station is now a festival of Rail Alphabet 2. Yet move beyond that and… well, God knows what font has been chosen for the gantries above the approaches to platforms (which themselves still use NR Brunel). One day there might be some visual coherence on the railway, but today is not that day.

Trying to buy tickets for a major tourist attraction in Barcelona. Three separate attempts fail to complete (session expired). Go to the attraction hoping to buy tickets in person; online purchases only.

Just a small, insignificant example of how this century has rapidly turned into a techno-centric idiocracy.
