Here's another prototype I've worked on –
build a simple dashboard of your #remoteteam's local times

Basic features:
Clocks coloured for night/day
Drag to re-order clocks
Add/remove clocks
No login, browser stores your clocks

@Morrisons plastic bag recycling has been totally piled high on my last few visits to the Watford store. Also all of the olive trees and bamboo were dead and bone dry, looks like nobody has been watering them - shame.

Hello , I’ve written another letter to @antanddec about the ongoing appalling abuse of animals on @ITV programme @imacelebrity . I’ve tried to be polite but my patience has run thin . If you agree with what it says please RT . #ImACeleb

@onlyray7 hi Ray, I'm a long time user of your WP Discord plugin. It's been rock solid for years. I've added a couple of fixes/enhancements this week and discovered it's no longer maintained. Any chance I could help keep it alive and get it re-listed?

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@jetpack Jetpack security scan just flagged a threat with ACF Pro 6.1.6, however this is the version that has the fixed applied according to their changelog.

@schutzsmith Brixly in the UK offer charity hosting. https://t.co/2cGM1U5OCW

Look forward to seeing your nonprofit resource.

@F1uffyMatt I moved away from VM for this reason. Price always going up, paying about half as much now elsewhere. Easier to switch provider in future without feeling locked in.

@browning_vicky @wiguk Congratulations Vicky!

@SiteGround My sites have come back up.. seem to be still in London. Disaster recovery cancelled?

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@F1uffyMatt Esp in that heat last night. Would have felt like you're trapped in those tentacles.

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@BensteadMike @SiteGround Mine's back up too. Same IP, so I think Google *probably* got their servers back up in London.

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@BensteadMike @SiteGround Good to know, thanks. Wonder if that’s in London or Amsterdam now?

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@BensteadMike @SiteGround Should have happened sooner in my opinion to guarantee service from 9am, and better comms. How can they say service was nearly 100% back to normal last night when there's clearly servers not coming back up at all. V.poor all round.

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@codedgeekuk @SiteGround Thanks - wow! My DNS isn't managed by SiteGround and no holding page yet. I imagine they will be changing IP address as part of this.

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@SiteGround Yesterday you were telling everyone services were nearly at 100% which gave a false impression. The time to do this was last night - now it is impacting business hours.

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@SiteGround no updates for a long time, it is 9am London time - what is going on?

[Ben Knowles @bkno]

@SiteGround Can anyone confirm their site is back online yet? All of the ones I monitor are still offline, across multiple accounts.
