. @newrelic @awilly Received an email today, after 12 years as a customer, saying subscription has been cancelled. Today. No contact, no notice, nothing. Eventually get a reply, no apology, that our "legacy" package is "end of life". Disgraceful way to treat a long time customer.

1,000 trees planted today and 500 more to do tomorrow! Thank you @CarolineLucas for coming along and helping spread the word about the #MillionTreePledge @pledge_tree !

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

A really lovely morning with small businesses in Sussex planting trees - the #MillionTreePledge is such an inspiring example of positive #ClimateAction - good for nature and felt nourishing to the soul as well 🌳Big thanks to all involved @pledge_tree

@CambridgeAudio I was just curious! Never mind.

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

Very excited to launch the new website of one of my all time favourite bands, Pure Reason Revolution (@PRR_official ), to coincide with the release of their new single New Kind of Evil and the announcement of their amazing new album Above Cirrus to be released on 6th May.

Here’s a quick example from @pwbatour pro @ashlygalante of how the new video delay mode in Tenpin Toolkit’s Angles & Targeting tool can be used to give you a continuous action replay while you’re practicing.

@jazzychad Haha, you got up the side of that a bit! Do you fancy being a guinea pig for v2? DM me your app store email address if you do

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@jazzychad I’d quite like to produce these but I’ve got enough projects on the go right now! https://t.co/DzGPH0qZwO

@jazzychad My repeated temptations to buy a laser cutter have only been stopped by finding somewhere to put it! 😀

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@jazzychad @TenpinToolkit Haha, thank you! Let me know what you think! Big update / facelift with a load of new features coming soon!

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@jazzychad Yeah, I’ve actually seen a cardboard one before. If you have access to a 3d printer this is just about usable: https://t.co/fSNMEGYUDM

@jvbates @jot @TenpinToolkit Sure! Definitely be interesting to have a chat and see what the overlaps are. And thank you @jot for making the connection.

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@AndrewVos I’m sure they had, & they worked it out, but it was the immediate connection they had with the word Select. And I’m always interested in getting to the bare minimum “cognitive lode”. How can we make the highest percentage of users just know what to do without having to think.

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

What the internet really needs is an interchangeable word for click and tap.

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@jaspertandy Maybe if I’m holding down to drag something. Press implies something less transient than a tap or a click to me. And contextually I might press a button, but I wouldn’t press a toggle, checkbox or radio button.

[Simon Kimber @skmbr]

@jaspertandy Maybe for trackpad users, but wouldn’t be intuitive/natural to somebody using a mouse.
