🚀 Exciting news – #ITjustworks is live! 🥳

After over two decades in schools and EdTech, I’m thrilled to start this next chapter with my own independent consultancy: #ITjustworks ✅

This new venture is about what I love most – Making technology simple, secure, and impactful for schools, trusts, and education organisations.

Here’s some of the ways I can help:
💻 Digital Strategy – Creating sustainable transformation plans that empower leaders to make confident decisions and ensure alignment with the DfE’s digital and technology standards.
🔒 Cyber Security – From audits to policies to staff training, keeping your systems and data safe.
🤖 AI in Education – Practical advice and hands-on sessions to help educators and leaders embrace AI responsibly.
⚙️ Instructional & Technical Integration – Ensuring IT infrastructure and practice are aligned with educational outcomes.
🎓 EdTech Training – Delivering engaging, practical training for tools such as Google Workspace, Canva, and more.

Because when IT just works, leaders and educators can focus on what matters most: improving learning experiences and driving long-term success.

📩 DM me to discuss how I can support your school, trust, or organisation.

Here’s to new beginnings and a future where #ITjustworks for everyone! 🙌

@stephenrobles @cracker182 Any chance of getting this fixed? @peduarte @raycast

@DeputyGrocott @gazneedle @ICT_MrP @chrisdysonHT @grahamandre @smithsmm @mrlockyer @MichaelT1979 @primarypercival Still have an account, but barely post my content. I pop in every now and then as the tech community is active here, but the Twitter we all loved is long gone unfortunately. Replaced by quite the cesspit of far right, racist and highly inappropriate content 😢

@ufcontnt I guess cheaters do prosper 😒

@MsReh35 My eldest is turning 20 soon 😳

@UltraLinx @diabrowser @browsercompany @arcinternet @theo Except it's not that simple is it? You ask users to put their trust in you. Move all their workflow from another browser. That's not a small thing. Then ask them to move again, for a worser, unfinished experience? All based on trash like "Would my grandmother use Arc?"

[Abid Patel @abid_patel]

@UltraLinx @diabrowser Lost all trust in @browsercompany after they dumped @arcinternet for this. They alienated their core base of users by releasing another browser that should have been a feature update for Arc.

Just watch @theo videos on the whole travesty!

[Abid Patel @abid_patel]

@Geordie_Ric @johnreport As someone who doesn't watch regularly anymore, I was surprised that there were no video packages showing the build up. I'm sure there are others in the same position.

Don't worry. @Keir_Starmer will call FIFA and he'll be back next game 🟥 #MEXENG

Hey @joshm Will Arc browser ever get a proper dark mode liquid glass icon for macOS or is any new feature development for Arc, no matter how small, truly dead? @browsercompany @arcinternet

[Abid Patel @abid_patel]

@ReplitSupport Getting this error at the moment and can't continue with any activity.

⚠️ Stop leaving your Windows PC vulnerable!

Most people run #Windows Update but forget their apps. I’ve made a quick video showing how to use winget to update every app on your PC at once for free using just one command:

winget upgrade -h --all

Loving watching the #ArtemisII post splashdown extraction, live streamed on the Nokia N73! 🤣

@thibault_imbert @kirso_ @BHolmesDev @diabrowser Not sure if killing off a product and alienating a community who loved it is "putting love into your product" no matter what kinda marketing spin you try to put on it @joshm @theo

@LidlGB As you've now started selling "Pepperoni Pizza Foccacia" can you guarantee no cross contamination of the meat with non meat bakery products?

[Abid Patel @abid_patel]

@amaaan_designs @PalmyrPar I'm not a fan of @browsercompany after they ditched @arcinternet, but considering @Atlassian bought them out for $610m, I would hardly consider it a fumble.

⭐ To enable this feature straight away:

1️⃣ Browse to chrome://flags
2️⃣ Search for Vertical Tabs
3️⃣ Set to Enabled, then Relaunch
4️⃣ Right click on the tab bar, select "Move tabs to the side"

⬅️ You can also collapse the tab bar for a minimal look and view more of the webpage.

[Abid Patel @abid_patel]

⭐ Vertical tabs have finally arrived in Google Chrome! 👀

I've been using the Arc and Zen browsers for a while now and I found the vertical tabs feature really cool.

It's great to see it now available as an option in Google Chrome! 🥳

@HalifaxBank Now that the Halifax Clarity Card has moved over from @Mastercard to @Visa - Will we still get fee free purchases worldwide with the replacement card?

@clickbrowser No updates since February. Is this project dead? @jackbogdan
