Love it:

And that’s pretty much me done with Twitter, er, I mean X: they’ve now shut off access to Tweetdeck unless you pay the XPro monthly charge.

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

Yep. Pretty much.

Blockchains are not interesting technologies; to first approximation they're just append-only spreadsheets.

Buying a crypto token is essentially just a huckster opening Excel and offering to sell you the cells A2:D5 for $100,000.

It really is that stupid.

Ça, c'est rigolo!

After yesterday's complete cluster****, it now seems that #Tweetdeck is down. Columns are not loading, apart from Home and Messages. The joy of it all.

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's Javascript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

Twitter is DDOSing itself.

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

I laughed out loud, inhaled, and then laughed out loud even more. This is bang on.

Trying my hardest not to compare this with what's happening in France at the moment.

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

This is incredible. A snowball fight filmed by cinema pioneers the Lumiere bros in France, 1896. It's been colourised and had the speed adjusted.

@shanselman So he should have put his family in the second trailer?

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

@kylecordes Very much so, but then again you could say I'm a little biased 😂

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

@kylecordes Ditto. I basically just delete them, haven't researched any further.

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

@DeerBear3000 I'm afraid that, for mobile app development, FMX is very low on our list. For us it's .NET MAUI where our team experience now lies and where the greater interest from our customers can be found. So, from our current perspective, it's not going to happen.

There are days I just want to give up, get back in the time machine, and go back to the 60s. From a marketing email:

"I checked your website and was interested in the wood chips you offer. We work with wood chip producers so I thought I’d reach out."

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I love living in Colorado Springs:

Dayum! I feel good if I break the 2 minute mark 😀

BREAKING: The Rubik’s cube world record has been broken at 3.13 seconds 🎉🤯

[Julian M Bucknall @JMBucknall]

Fab marketing email I just received starts off with:

"Reaching out because it seems like you are involved in making technology decisions at Julian M Bucknall."

OK then.
