Well this is a bit of a dream come true: I have my own show at the @RoyalAlbertHall on Thursday 15th May! I can't explain how much of a pinch-me moment this is. As if it wasn't surreal enough already, I'm so excited that I'll be premiering two new pieces at this concert - a new

Just came across https://t.co/0hbOqnNFlw - is this an attempt to build an open community outside of the control of Automattic? Good domain, doesn't seem to be active. The talk of "brands" is a bit odd. #wordpress

SQLite needs fine-tuning, but with Rails 8, the Rails framework now does *all* of the configuration and usage tuning for you, invisibly. This is the culmination of over a year of effort from myself and the community at large, and I could not be more proud or excited!

This is a brilliant experiment by Drupal Founder Dries Buytaert on sustainable hosting. It’s really good to see tech leaders exploring ideas like this and sharing their knowledge. It’s what the web is great at! #Sustainability
