"You're about to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane - how do you feel about that?" ... a good friend asked me that earlier this year. https://t.co/8PIrhXXeG5

A record of the everyday
Small posts.
A longer story.
Photographs, things I was learning, conversations along the way. A browse through my Twitter / X archive, one year or one remembered word at a time.

Whoop whoop - my @eleven_ty site Unslump Me jumped up another 30 places on the Eleventy Leaderboard, from 159 up to 128! 100’s across the board, so looking forward to trying to figure out what other #webperf improvements we can tweak on it. https://t.co/8KGXf8joBi

Update: It was the final! So the Wallingford J14 Quad just won their event at the Maidenhead Regatta, despite the blade snapping - crikey! https://t.co/RcTzXncwpn https://t.co/1OlUtmfLfX

The Madison (?), from a spectators perspective appears to be a really Olympic sport to follow (how do they even train for this chaos!) - thank goodness for some great commentators. https://t.co/RpGm6Jt1U6

Personal site switched over to CSS-only nav menu, needs a little transition tweaking, but all-in-all I’m pretty happy with it. Despite many months on Vercel, I’m still blown away by the simplicity and speed of branch/preview deploy / iterate / merge / production process. https://t.co/UWOfo3INBC

Finding it fascinating watching the #Olympics2021 #Rowing Having seen my son’s first few regattas I’m just starting to comprehend some of complexities of the sport, and it’s so interesting watching the worlds best competing. https://t.co/bxEj9XAbgR

Taken the plunge and pushed the re-build of my personal site live. Retiring the old Jekyll on GH-pages, in favour of nextjs on Vercel. First do it... then do it right... then do it better (Still very happy with Circe Slab A for the body type tho) https://t.co/IPJJ1ZlUyB

Em has just completed her 19th #raceforlife ! She’s still being #covid cautious and so ran her own individual event around Wallingford - on the hottest day of the year so far. https://t.co/FKQWtl7Kct

Massive shoutout to Lewis H at the Oxford @JohnLewisRetail - for remarkable customer service today. Taking my son to buy his first suit was a pretty emotional experience, and Lewis made it one of those glorious moments to cherish. https://t.co/TzHymshd9C

@eleven_ty 50% taken off the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) after a few tweaks: internal CSS, system font stack, refined responsive image srcset candidate list https://t.co/5zrAWXUa4C

I made some site enhancements a few weeks ago to one side project, and very happy to see that that it’s jumped up over 200 places on the @eleven_ty leaderboard! … it’s a rainy Saturday morning, and the kids are asleep, so I’m tempted to do something about that LCP score next https://t.co/M8XYNCWDqx

The morning-after the second vaccination has me feeling pretty wrecked… … but it’s ok, as our daughter has found someone to cover for me. https://t.co/wKBTILQ0hA

@KittyGiraudel What a splendid idea - I hope it was TNG. Very tempted to rewatch them all again. https://t.co/YewCicID7o

“If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run” 15s to setup a new sub-domain, point it at a globally available Preview Deploy running off a ‘WIP’ branch - the deploy itself took 45s! Pretty sure Kipling was thinking of @vercel when he wrote If… https://t.co/bfEiUoGJIA

Waking up to find I'm still happy with some of last night's choices... In this case 'Circe Slab a' for the body text, paired with Magenta (Not 100% on the colour palette though) The full rebuild from my 5+ yo Jekyll on GH-pages site to #Nextjs on @vercel feels liberating. https://t.co/wQpFYJZZqI

@whitepeakwell I think I might have found it. The rather catchily titled: ‘Circe Slab A thin’ from @ParaTypeNews and it’s stonking. https://t.co/TiYRKyrulU

Grounded by @whitepeakwell is the perfect read in the evening sun, after a hectic day with many screen hours. Trying to figure out what the glorious typeface is for the main body text. I though Locke, but the k’s don’t match. Ruth - might you know please? https://t.co/bQeCkomxt7

Inspired by the Steve Jobs biography cover, our 11 yo daughter wanted to try replicating it. #proudparent aside I she’s got some cracking #photography skills coming through, and has taken some of my favourite portraits https://t.co/36VgrahaXw

A record, with its context.
These are the words and pictures from an earlier moment. Roles, opinions, links and like counts reflect the archive; they aren’t a live feed. Historical references to Vercel and other employers remain where they belong.
The export includes 84 video and 25 GIF references without their media files. Their posts remain searchable, with links to the originals. Those links may no longer be available.
How this version is made
Laravel searches the archive and sends 24 matching posts at a time. The photographs are served as smaller, responsive images and can be opened for a closer look. Search, year and media choices are kept in the URL so a view can be shared. Precise location fields and account metadata from the raw export are excluded.
