@iamlaksh1 Hi Lakshmanan, we don’t have a blog on this, but it’s a good point that we should! Drop me an email (first [email protected]) and I’ll see if our Developer Relations team can help.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@Eurostar Thanks. I haven’t yet booked: I have a voucher that I need to use, want to travel in late December, but bookings haven’t yet opened for that. Hence want to book a trip in early December that I can then change the date and class of.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@Eurostar Is it possible to book in one class of travel, then at later date *downgrade* that class of travel (and change the date)? I realise that upgrades are possible, but need to know about downgrades. Thanks!

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@TTRockStars Good stuff: thanks for the quick reply!

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@TTRockStars is the web site broken this morning? Attempting to do a practice (jamming) session results in every question being marked as wrong.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@NetatmoSupport This is a UI issue, AFAICS. I can use the Alexa app to modify the set point of the valve and it works fine, but that’s a bit silly.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@NetatmoSupport Latest update to the “Energy” app now stops me changing radiator set points if the radiator battery is reported as low. Every time I click the plus or minus buttons the low battery warning comes up. Please could you fix? Only way to turn them on is via Alexa :-(.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@NetatmoSupport Err, why do you need the serial numbers? It’s any of my valves that are marked with low battery. Did not used to be a problem until app. was recently updated.

Good advice from Amy Wheelus of Gigapower on how to move fast. When you have a goal of 1.5 million homes connected to fibre within 3 years, your really need to! #IQGeoMeetup

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

Great to meet with @IQGeo_software utilities customers here in Denver at our customer advisory board. Am enjoying being thrown in at the deep end! #IQGeoMeetup

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

Really looking forward to getting up to speed at @IQGeo_software and playing a part in helping customers the world over build better fibre, electricity, and heat networks. Lots to learn, lots of people to meet, and lots of customers to become acquainted with!

@MindsetOfJK Can't think of anything, no. This really is all about information delivery rate: with text, I can very quickly work out if something is of value. The only time a video is helpful to me is for something like a product demo. Even howtos are better written with screenshots.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

Regularly receive spam where salespeople tell me they've made a video for me. Does anyone else have zero inclination to watch these (because they can skim read text far faster), or am I just not the target market?

Short and interesting thread about what an allowable company name is in Delaware.

[Nathan Smith @nthnmsmth]

Hiya! I’m an engineer on @stripe @atlas. A quick deep dive on the surprisingly complex (and interesting!?) minutiae of company names.

Here's a behind the scenes of how we help founders *not* know all nerdy details of the State of Delaware and the IRS... 🧵

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@CompaniesHouse Something appears to be broken with your site... I've tried to login just now (and ~1 week ago), and when I'm prompted for my 2nd factor, it sits and hangs, then ends up at a generic error page. There's a message on your login page from Thursday...

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@virtualsteve @reillyusa Certainly as regards tenure at Citrix!

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@GabyGrau01 @virtualmanc @guyrleech @E2EVC I miss @E2EVC ! No conferences in my current job :-(.

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

Great fun recording an interview about @_Checkit this afternoon. No spoilers for now... ;-).

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@BritishGasHelp Received text message to book my boiler service, but when I login to my phone account there's no option to do so. Text message also contains a URL with a 7 digit reference, but this isn't recognised by the booking site the URL points at. Any advice on how to book?

[David Cottingham @DavidCottingham]

@shammyowens Same!
