@missleetulloch re your article on non alcoholic drink flights, this was probably my favourite thing about visiting Firedoor. My wine drinking partner was jealous of my delightful and complex non alcoholic concoctions. Bravo.

@Suw I fear this may be the TimTam equivalent of Fosters Lager beer.... Have you tried a mint slice biccy? Ideally from the freezer.

@leisa Definitely mint Tim Tams! We used to get them in our local supermarket in Cleveland, of all places!

Hey, Australian friends! I was searching for mint Tim Tams, and every single online shop in the UK has discontinued them. Please tell me that's not because Arnott's has stopped doing them? Because that would constitute a crime against humanity.

We're moving to Sydney! @AlistairGreo and I are packing up the house and kids and moving to Australia for a couple of years, to be closer to family. Aussies I'd love to hear what's going on in public sector design and tech. Get in touch if you'd like to have a chat in Feb!

@marxculture So hard to spot the difference between spoof and reality these days 😹

@marxculture Do they use that same kind of language when they are talking about incompetent male political leaders? I mean, I have no love for Truss, but a lot of that language has undertones of gendered physical violence that I find pretty concerning.

It is true - we have a bunch of super interesting research roles with our team in Australia or New Zealand ... sound tempting? Either way, I'm so looking forward to reconnecting with the UK research tribe again! Hope to see you there.

In Jira Cloud how on earth do I find out what type an existing sprint board is? Classic or Next Gen? The latter which suggests being better annoyingly only seems to allow tickets from a single project to be displayed.

So excited to be back in London next week and sharing some of the hot research topics from EPIC 2022 with these smart folk at The Research Thing - come join us!

@steveportigal Classic.

@z_rose For my final book week costume production we went with Ninja Kid. Normal boy clothes with a mask (strip of pillowcase with eyes cut out). I sorted it between 7.30 and 8am this morning. Took years to achieve that level of book week efficiency 🤣

Improvements for people with access needs results in improvements for all, yet again. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I'm very thankful that the 'Team Anywhere' remote working policy @Atlassian means I'm able to be around so much more for my kids as they make their way through the teen years than I've ever been before.

Reminded today of this article I read when my children were still babies which made me consider the likelihood that perhaps kids need their parents to be closer more when they are teenagers than at any other time. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Really good thread in the importance of doing good research.

Having missed the Saturday papers deadline, it blows my mind and breaks my heart that Roe v Wade is not front page news, but only makes it to page 13. And instead.... football. Sure, it's not *our* court making the ruling but it makes me feel like I live on another planet.

Orange Public School's motto seems very of-the-moment. Less Latin, more mindfulness.

@LolaOye @tomskitomski Hope it was recorded. I would love to see it.

Fan girl moment! @tomskitomski sharing the early days of the Gov.Uk “Design System”. Thank you @leisa for the connection! #DesignConf 22

Your humility + bravery + compassion + energy is a powerful combination.

Am immensely grateful to all who mentored and supported me during my time here cc/ @kateldn @leisa @jwaterworth @Nabeeha_a @cjforms @danachis @atrvrs @mattedgar @LouDowne @timpaul @edwardhorsford @LynnRob @benterrett @jan_ford @RochelleLGold @botlywell ... and many more... 3/

Some news. After 12 years I’ll be leaving @HODigital in July. It’s been a tough decision - I’ll miss working with an amazing bunch of dedicated and passionate people! 🙌 But I’ve realised that our work here is a relay race, not a sprint, and it is time to pass the baton. 1/

Velocity is not measured by the time between when a ticket is added to the sprint and the time it’s closed. The clock starts ticking when the customer has a problem, and stops when their problem is resolved.
