💥 70,000 signatures! 💥

...and the petition closes on June 8th.

Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful.

All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin the EU, reverse the damage, boost growth, increase tax revenues and restore opportunities in the UK

My Poem/1 arrived today and I’m delighted. The build quality of the product is strong. This isn’t a DIY 3D printer job. Even has some weight to nice.
It’s only been a day but there are some gems of poems.

FF Conf - Web development & JavaScript conference in Brighton, UK

FF Conf - the UK's best web conference in Brighton.

Opened two Pull Requests on a open-source iPhone App.
Interesting to work through the iOS build tools and steps but think I’ll still be sticking to the web.
A 27:22 #parkrun
Best at this Parkrun still sits at 27:03.
I'm still making progress but the target of 25 minute range seems far away.

Big week as we’ve launched our new #PETALS Plus plans (4 years since the original idea was blogged)

5 teams, unlimited data and more to dive deeper into your team’s health.

Amazing teamwork to build this platform behind the scenes as well. Now 4 of us (plus numerous coding agents) have been chipping away around our main day jobs.

Join the movement at https://petals.team/plus with a 7 day free trial.

After a weekend at Center Parcs, I spent much of my time in the swimming pool wondering.

“What did the spreadsheet look like for how much they could reduce the wave strength and duration before it received complaints?”
“Does a 10% reduction in strength lead to a 10% reduction in cost?”

I'm building a platform that allows deploy previews/ephemeral environments for sites developed with #ddev.

I'm looking for beta users to help test and suggest features

Mayfly — Ephemeral Preview Environments

I work at #Grafana and persuaded my marketing team to sponsor #emfcamp ... I was speaking to #Antithesis and also persuaded them to sponsor EMF Camp.

Result... EMF Camp have a load of money, and I have more tickets than I need = a good problem.

Antithesis have given me 2 tickets and 1 car park pass to EMF Camp to give away, for free, with zero expectation of anything... also I have maybe 1 spare Grafana sponsor ticket... but how to do this?

Well here's Antithesis https://antithesis.com/ just for FYI, it's like a simulation testing fuzzer... runs your containers and fuzzes them amongst other things. Grafana you already know. That's the entire marketing pitch for both.

Anyone who both boosts and likes this post by 12:00 UTC on Thursday 7th May... those people will be entered into a random draw and I will give those people tickets. If someone does not reply within an hour of me notifying them, I'll move on to the next person, etc until all the tickets I hold are gone.

Yay to EMF Camp https://www.emfcamp.org/ which is July 16th– 19th 2026 in Eastnor, UK.
