I'm pleased I still have hair... and appreciate being able to attempt to grow it long... but I know what the near future holds.

Absolutely no #DF25 FOMO here; at the @londevsfdc.bsky.social Oct meet where we're hearing from our first speaker Mike Rhodes about GraphQL.

I know next to nothing about GraphQL, so I'm really excited for this.
Huge thanks to @deloittedigi.bsky.social for being such great hosts and sponsors.

Not to be left behind, and to celebrate the kick-off of Dreamforce ‘25, we’re very excited to announce the re-branding of Shirtforce to Agentshirt360.cloud

This starts a revolutionary new chapter for us, one that will be 100% totally different from the shirtforce of yesterday.

And to this day I still don't know what's wrong with the first one.

Usually I add a lime-green in somewhere, but I'm pretty sure I haven't done that here.

Like this?

Why not bag one at shirtforce.org/shop/clothin..., with all proceeds going into our Shirtforce Sponsorship fund (currently helping us assist in growing the West African #trailblazerCommunity with West Africa Dreamin).

Feel la Flow - Shirtforce

Because your automations deserve as much style as your sneakers. You make the magic happen in Salesforce, so why not have a little swagger while doing it.

Shirtforce's latest #TShirtTuesday started as a doodle on my phone (1st image), and the kind folk in our community came to my rescue.

Being colourblind has impacts when you're doing visual things, but our team can turn even these most bizarre concepts into 1st-class merch for #salesforce.

I should also note that this wasn't a brilliant idea of my own... one of my wive's previous companies had it, and I just thought I might see if we could use it in the new company.

When I joined our startup I suggested we implement a birthday day off rule. It was agreed on and now every employed gets an extra paid day leave for their birthday, and it's brilliant.

I've started building my very first capacitor plugin for an @ionic.io project.

I can't believe I've been working with Ionic and cordova/capacitor for over 10 years and this is the first time I've had to build a plugin from scratch.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Lots of folk will have many reasons to not be able to easily get out of their line of work, even if they wanted to.
This book is sure to be an asset to them.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Every developed country in the world has an "exit tax" - you leave with unrealised capital gains, and you're taxed on them.

Except the UK and Italy:

Aw man!
Coming from someone who has said they love San Francisco, this is really, really disappointing to hear... but also it's sadly less surprising than it would have been a few years ago

Eeurgh! I have throw-up in my mouth.

I haven't read the times article in question, and I really really hope it's been misrepresented.
