@Screwfix This wasn’t mentioned in any of the promotional materials I received, it just said 10% off everything, no star, no exceptions! Not a great start. At least star the word “everything” and include T&Cs! Wasted journey!

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@Screwfix Just went down to the newly opened Screwfix Hammersmith branch. Very excited as it’s nearby and we use Screwfix twice per week on average. I was looking forward to availing myself of the 10% promotion but my order was over 1k and I was told not possible.

@msonenote Hi, I've been working to identify a problem with latest update of OneNote for iOS, causing notebooks to become corrupted and causing OneNote 2016 / 2019 desktop to crash. Please can you help me contact relevant devs? Have documented here: https://t.co/5OwJXZL3Di

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@MicrosoftHelps The issue seems to have originated from a recent update to the iOS app.

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@MicrosoftHelps Hello I have documented a technical problem causing OneNote 2016 to crash. This affects all users who sync notebooks between iOS app and OneNote 2016 / 2019. Please can you put me in touch with relevant developers for further discussion? https://t.co/5OwJXZL3Di

@HarrietRGreen Hi Harriet. Can you attend LFW afterparty, Saturday night? Marta Holod, well-regarded Hat Designer from Ukraine exhibiting new collection. Let me know if yes. Press release here: https://t.co/VLNhTHc0LG - will get ticket reserved if so! All the best, Mat xx

@TheHookUp1 @amazon Amazon UK removed the ability to comment on reviews a long time ago, maybe years... very frustrating. Especially in the day and age of shill reviews. Nothing to keep them to account!

@CanonUKandIE Hello, CPS silver member here - I'm trying to arrange a flash repair through my Canon account but website is saying the site is down for maintenance until 12th Feb. It's now 13th... please can you update me as it's reasonably urgent?

@cybergibbons Need to be more specific about the application e.g. Noise specs? Linear or digital? I've been developing for very low noise applications recently (high bit depth D to A) and wouldn't consider using anything other than a linear PSU. What's it for?

@aphistic @Raspberry_Pi I think given how hugely outnumbered I am in my reply, I shall concede it's to do with thermals / ease of soldering etc :)

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@aphistic @Raspberry_Pi Everyone seems to be suggesting this is "thermal relief". It's a common practice on all ground copper pours. I always thought the reason was related to EMC and minimising the possibility for ground loops (e.g. high frequency signals)

@DeborahMeaden @CommonsSpeaker It's rather simple. Most lies are unverifiable. Innocent until proven guilty. But an accusation of a lie is "guilty until proven innocent". Although it's ruddy annoying, I do think common sense tells you this?

@ameliagentleman See the mammoth timelines post here: https://t.co/mm5nDekI4x - it's a crisis if the minister promised visas should take "hours" and the delay is so far 11 days!

@Kim_Feldwicke @luhc Hi Kim, I didn't get this error myself, although I did it on Saturday and things may have changed. Would be really interested in knowing how it worked out for you, i.e. did you re-submit another application (which you can do if there are problems) and use a different category?

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@_KatHutchinson @sallybibb @DeborahMeaden @decappeal I’m in two minds about going. If I do, I plan to ensure all boxes are sorted and inventoried with printed list of all items in Ukrainian, Polish, and French (hoping border crossing will not be painful). Mostly medical aid. Nothing second hand.

I don’t tweet much these days, for my own future reference here’s a slice of my life. 1) I dreamt last night a received a phone call from my neighbour Saskia saying our street was being bombed, whilst I was driving in Poland and 2) this photo from local square in Chiswick:

@BBCKasiaMadera Your reporting has been excellent, thank you for all you are doing. It is difficult to read past the barrage of charities in the UK saying “don’t get involved, just give money” but are there enough resources currently?

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@MLiebreich Don’t be silly - he is a true climate warrior! He increased the congestion charge!

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@sallybibb @DeborahMeaden @decappeal It makes logical sense of course. Question is, how to break this to my friend? I want to show solidarity but it seems such a cop out saying “sorry, I’m going to donate” instead of getting in my van…

[Mat Smith Photography @hazymat]

@sallybibb @DeborahMeaden @decappeal Likewise I have been asked by my Ukrainian contact to drive a vanload across to Polish Ukrainian border. I agreed, but have now read these docs and tweets. West London group of Ukrainians have been working hard. They will be sad
