Hi. Just making sure this account thing is alive still. Ok, that’ll do…

Due to the gas lift on my chair leaking and sitting lower than I should for two months, my knees have aged like a decade and hurt a lot. Now I'm actually using my standing desk for working while standing, just to try and rectify things.

Ergonomics, people. Pay attention to it.

And lo, a sudden influx of followers… Hi there!

A TLDR of me: South Wales, UK. Writer for @appleinsider@mastodon.social that handles weekends. Also a photographer working on improving his portrait skills. Playing card collector. Magic fan (as in tricks and methods). Gamer. Has cats and shares them too much.

Isn’t the first post meant to be a cat photo or “hello world”?
(This one is from 5 years ago. I am more beardy but Bond is still just as annoying…)

So, 30 minutes until Apple announces stuff that @appleinsider@mastodon.social will be covering extensively. Also, 30 minutes until all Apple-centric content creators face the hellscape of event reporting at speed.
Good luck everyone in the latter group.

So, that Square stand you put an iPad into and it turns into a PoS system, that’s pretty neat. Spent way too long spinning it around…

So, the new coffee shop/gallery/photo studio had a surprise. We were worried that we had work to do to get Ethernet between floors. After investigating, we found that someone already did it for us. A nice bit of luck!

So. Twitter. Yeah…

The Meta Quest 2 hasn't been used in a while. I want to use it, but I don't feel like trying to clean/clear the office to do so without it moaning about the tiniest obstacles.
I blame it, but really it's just sheer laziness on my part...

In about an hour, my phone's going to make a noise with the UK emergency alert test. Most exciting thing to happen to it in a few weeks, I feel…

@onlyblue@techhub.social Huh. Weird it doesn’t have any branding, if it is…

Dear Internet. What is this? There’s no make or badge to go off, and it was parked in front of the studio. Confused the traffic warden too…
