Your attention please: I am back in the game. This morning I formed a new company, Tintou Ltd as a vehicle for consultancy engagements on enterprise-level WordPress development. Got some very interesting work lined up already. Details to follow. https://t.co/CSIXSJ2abM

There's a definite generational split in the @arsenal ranks. Younger fans (and the players?) seemed to want to win the PL, and saw CL as a nice-to-have at the end. But us older fans knew the club needs to win the European Cup, to claim its deserved place at Europe's top table. ⭐

@TheWPGuy You mean like a 'site within a site'? Interesting idea. I've prototyped a few documentation ideas in the past; I hadn't thought about bringing it into this, but maybe you're on to something there. 🤔

[Simon Dickson @simond]

Just landed in WordPress plugin repo: something I've been working on for months, and have had in mind for 10+ years.

Imagine never having to ask a client what they mean by 'broken'. Imagine never having to onboard them to a project management platform.

@yhyhyh72003 Already working on it 😉

European cup final, an hour gone, one nil up, starting to think this might just happen. And then. Been here before. Uh oh. #arsenal #ucl

Alpaca is developed in collab with WordPress VIP partner agency @rareview : I've been with them since late 2025, guiding a number of plugin releases and helping refine their processes to create code for a large & unknown audience. A really smart, insightful and enthusiastic team.

[Simon Dickson @simond]

If you want to tweak it, or extend it with your own ideas: there are action and filter opportunities throughout the codebase (JS & PHP), and we'll be publishing a comprehensive documentation site shortly.

[Simon Dickson @simond]

Not done quite yet, @Arsenal. ⭐

If Spurs are relegated does that mean 2026-27 St. Totteringham’s Day is the final day of this season or the first game of next season? 🤔

[Simon Dickson @simond]

It's probably time to wean myself off this platform. No value in it any more. All the folks & orgs I care about are now more active elsewhere.

Thank you for the tweets.

In more bizarre #Intervision developments, Russia’s entry Shaman addresses the audience after his act and says he asks the jury to disregard his performance and not assign him a score - the “rules of hospitality” dictate “I have no right to lay claim to victory”, he says.

@remkusdevries @igorbenic I had this. Are you on an Apple Silicon Mac? And have you been using Local for ages? You're probably still on the legacy Intel build.
