Kind photos

What you can't see from this photo of #Morph is his appreciative meow of being wrapped up against this chilly January

Yet again, Anna Dodson has captured my relationship with #Morph, and how suddenly it goes south 😅

New face, who dis? A new lockdown calls for another #CoronavirusHaircut

#Morph is seeing out #2020 the way he spent most of it - snuggled up in his blanket

So Anna Dodson has perfectly summed up my relationship with #Morph in this photo - I'm having the best time and he's pleading to be left alone 😹 this is after two minutes of purring and kitty kisses, if that helps!

With all the excitement of the #NewHouse, I'd missed this #Christmas hamper from work - what a lovely reminder of #LifeAtCapitalOne and the wonderful ways we're looked after - in addition to the £100 M&S voucher I won last week!

Well Anna Dodson and I have started our #Christmas break off pretty well, I'd say 🥂

This afternoon I got some wonderful #Christmas gifts from my #TechNott Secret Santa - although #Morph didn't seem impressed at being a table - thanks so much!

So #Morph has been at the cattery while we've been moving, and the pretty much the first thing he did when he came back in evening is find a hidey hole in the #NewHouse

To celebrate my #NewHouse, I'm pairing a gorgeous Brut with a succulent breast of chicken, with pomme frites, and a jus de viande. Yep, Champers and KFC, like a true adult 🙌🏼

So apparently I'm now able to call myself a "real estate mogul"? #NewHouse

So I'm buying a house on Monday 🤑 which means that last night I was doing some serious packing. Well, between games of #ApexLegends of course!

#Morph is enjoying his last weekend at home - as next weekend is the prep for moving house 🙀

#Morph is having just the best sleepy Saturday

#Morph is having a sleepy morning ahead of a weekend of packing!

No, I haven't been exercising / dieting, the reason I've lost a lot of weight is because Anna Dodson has just given me another #CoronavirusHaircut - this will hopefully last until Christmas!

Super nommy food from Cote, a lovely Malbec, a fire, and the best company with Anna Dodson and #Morph is a great start to the weekend

We were having a nice lunch today when we noticed a little creature break into the house - but luckily it wanted to help us participate in the #TechNott #Halloween challenge

Yet another successful Sunday lunch with Anna Dodson after a lovely day out

#Morph seems to be pretty comfy on Anna Dodson's leg this morning

Aside from vomming up a bit of his dinner, #Morph has been living his best kitty lifetime today

Welp, Anna Dodson and I managed to have a second Sunday lunch, with leftovers! Hopefully going to make it through the afternoon without a nap 😴

#Morph has found a little nook to hide from the cold

So Anna Dodson and I made an awesome Sunday lunch at home today

#Morph had a great start to the day. Little did he know, we'd be brushing his teeth by the end of the day 😱

Someone down the road was having an awesome Netflix party last night

#Morph is starting the day off right

#Morph decided he wanted to join my 10:10 with my manager so much he tried to knock my laptop off, twice 😹

Not much #Hacktoberfest at tonight's #HomebrewWebsiteClub but I did manage to almost get my auto-configuring #Micropub editor set up so it'll provide me a way to create content for any posts that are supported on my site! This uses q=post-types and works really nicely, from some limited local testing

#Morph is very much enjoying a Saturday chill day

Watching the wonderful @MrAndrew speaking on raise.dev about Tech Nottingham, #Hacktoberfest and the space for community building in #OpenSource

#Morph has found his place for the winter

#hacktoberfest

#Morph is trying to make it hard to go to bed!

Last night I got a hand delivered awesome #ProjectFunction hoodie from the lovely Project Function team - it's super comfy and super awesome! You can get one too by becoming a VIP Patron on https://www.patreon.com/join/ProjectFunction

#Morph is starting the day off well with some naps 🥰

#Morph is having just the best nap today

#Morph is enjoying a Sunday morning nap, which is easier than considering all the stuff he has to do today!

#Morph also very much enjoyed being snuggled up with Anna Dodson earlier

#Morph has decided he doesn't want me to do any work today

#Morph is being super cute so we consider not moving him before we go out for the afternoon

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - a productive session, and we played around with live Closed Captioning courtesy of Tech Nottingham

Hello Orange Site!

Well Anna Dodson and I had a lovely afternoon at the Arboretum this afternoon - felt a bit like being back to normal, although it was a shame that the rain cut the afternoon short!

#Morph is my spirit animal

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight!

I've just received a (somewhat) surprise present from work for my promotion! Yet another lovely insight into the awesome folks who make #LifeAtCapitalOne special

#Morph has been struggling with the heat today, but having a damp tea towel to lie on has helped

You had me worried there, #Gousto, I thought I'd chosen some bad meals!

#Morph is having a big nap now so he's able to attend the whole of #WiTNotts tonight - he's usually too sleepy from a day on the sofa to make it to the event!

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - sorry for joining a bit late, but sounds like we had some good progress with everyone's projects

#Morph is all tuckered out from me trying to give him more love than he wanted this evening 😅

#Morph thinks it's a bit bright this morning

#Morph had such a difficult day today with this heat!

#Morph was not super happy with me taking unflattering photos of him

Here's a lovely insight into #LifeAtCapitalOne - my whole tribe (the Grow tribe) have just received a lovely care package from the wonderful Team Building Committee, in lieu of an in-person "fun day". Small things like this make it such a lovely place to work 💜

Y'all better be jealous of my jazzy new trainers for #RingFitAdventures

This is a top tip from @rikshawindian - if your customer orders a curry with Medium spice but you accidentally make it as a Hot, just update the writing on the container, as they won't be able to tell the difference when eating their lava 🔥🙄

Time for another #CoronavirusHaircut, although this time it's not been quite as long - Anna Dodson was surprised to be able to see my ears again!

#Morph is having the best time this morning

#Morph is settled in and really enjoying the #LifeAtCapitalOne (remote) summer party with Anna Dodson and I this evening

Thanks for those coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham, it's been a good one!

#Morph was being the cutest yesterday

So Anna Dodson asked me earlier why, in the heat of the day, I was wrapped in a blanket. #Morph is why. Look at this little cutie

#Morph is like his daddy today, very 😴

Hey everyone, I've solved the biggest issue of the day. Y'all no longer need to worry, it's all good. #Morph is no longer chilly

#Morph has decided he wants to nap where it's cool and safe, today

The best thing about #Morph getting soggy out in the rain is the way that Anna Dodson and I get to dry him off 😻

At tonight's #HomebrewWebsiteClub, I managed to implement listing all my site's posts, using Micropub Query for All Posts - which is consumable with Indigenous for Android

Been a great #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight, we even had pets attending!

#Morph is not happy with this chilly weather

A slightly quiet #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - but I managed to make some headway into a Micropub client for my site

#Morph has the right idea today

#Morph is full on mlem this afternoon

I don't know how #Morph can be this flexible

Been a good #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - thanks for joining, folks!

#Morph has been giving us some post #TechNott cuddles ☺

Pictured here - #Morph hiding his face so I can't tickle his nose 💔

#Morph decided this afternoon to recap Denise Yu's containers joke at #WiTNotts on Thursday

#Morph has had a busy morning outside, but is now enjoying being in snuggle valley 😻

#Morph is helping me through a difficult evening - KFC don't have any burgers 😭😭

Nothing like a snuggle with #Morph after a long day

Anna Dodson and I made an awesome #Gousto meal tonight

#Morph is finding it especially bright this morning, and it's getting in the way of his nap

#Morph as feeling particularly flopsy this morning

#Morph is enjoying a nap in the warmth of the bedroom

#Morph has decided he wants cuddles in bed

#Morph is being super cute tonight

Been a good #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham - mixed success at our various projects, but nice to see folks (virtually)

This afternoon Anna Dodson helped with a second #CoronavirusHaircut

#Morph is enjoying a little nap, listening into the #TechNott #AnimalCrossing morning #acnh

#Morph is trying hard to stop us going to bed

#Morph has decided I'm not allowed to go back to work today

#Morph is having a great day

#Morph very much enjoys us having tuna for lunch as it means he gets some

I may be late to #TechNott tonight, #Morph has taken my hand hostage

This is the face of a very contented #Morph, yesterday in the sun

#Morph is watching Anna Dodson playing #AnimalCrossing this morning

#Morph is all tuckered out from his morning nap

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham, with Carol Gilabert Aimee Gamble-Milner and Anna Dodson

#Morph mustache you a question

Thanks again to Carol Gilabert and Thom Glenn for their very thoughtful birthday present - I am very much a cat dad so this is such a great present!

PS - I use Arch

A Saturday afternoon story in three parts

😴

#Morph is loving life

#Morph is enjoying a sleepy #caturday

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham! Socially distant, but coming together to work on stuff (quietly)

#Morph has definitely found the sunniest part of the house today

Look at how sleepy my little baby is

#Morph thought we'd kick off the Easter weekend with a cuddle while Anna Dodson plays Mario Odyssey on the Switch

#Morph has definitely been living his best life today

#Morph was using my hand as a pillow earlier 🥰

It's been a great Sunday for #Morph

I'm going to say that the paws pressed against my face are there lovingly as we have a little pre-bedtime cuddle

Not pictured here - #Morph being a little Snorphy - he's got the cutest little snore which melts my heart 🥰

Forgot to share #Morph last night who stole my footstool, and found it a little bright 🥰

#Morph is half in the sun because he doesn't want to be too warm

#Morph is all tuckered out after a busy day

I'd planned to get my haircut a couple of days before the #coronavirus self isolation, but didn't get a chance. 20 days in we called it, so Anna Dodson cut my hair tonight 😱 we're both super impressed!

#Morph is spoiled rotten - Anna Dodson wanted to make sure earlier he wasn't catching a cold 🥰

Been a good afternoon with Anna Dodson working through this puzzle from my birthday - hoping to continue picking away at it this coming week

It's that kinda morning 😴

It's #caturday

😛

#Morph is cooling off after a morning on the bed, lying in the sun

#Morph is living his best life

#Morph is sleepy in his little #purrito cave

#Morph is definitely having a #purrito day

#Morph looks ready to hibernate 😻

Mood

My manager gave the team a mandate to go outside today, so here is proof I was outside - the local prison (the other one, not our house 😅) - with @anna_hax

#Morph was looking a little chilly, but I've wrapped him up so it's OK 🥰

#Morph has been spending a lot of time today in his little box

Hello from Nottingham #HomebrewWebsiteClub, Online Zoom edition!

Check out @anna_hax and my #battlestations! We're fortunate enough to have a pretty great setup for #coronavirus working from home

Happy birthday to me! A lovely start to the morning opening cards with a champagne flute of Tango, with the wonderful https://annadodson.co.uk and #Morph

If you visit my site today you'll notice birthday balloons that I copied from Aaron Parecki this weekend at #IndieWebCamp London

#Morph's got the cutest little meown - yawning and meowing at the same time 😍

I may not be able to make it to the first session at #IndieWebCamp London - #Morph has decided that he is my new laptop

@Anna_Hax and I are enjoying a lovely Croque Madame for our #IndieWebCamp London lunch 😋

#Morph is a bit too lethargic to join #IndieWebCamp London today, but says meow to y'all

He's ma baby 😻

Look at #Morph's little tongue 😻

#Morph is feeling extra silly today

It's time to learn about the Slim PHP microwebframework from @akrabat at tonight's #PHPMiNDS

What you can't see in this photo is #morph purring in the sun

Tuesday night kitty parrot

Don't fix the thing at 3am - just get it to limp through to tomorrow when you're caffeinated and have your team around to help - great point from @NickyWrightson at #TechNott

Consider your error handling better - does it mean you want to get called out if you hit an error? Is it actually an error scenario? #TechNott

We've got the awesome @NickyWrightson kicking off her talk at #TechNott about doing out of hours on call the right way - very excited to see the updates she's made since I saw it in September

@MrAndrew is kicking off tonight's #TechNott - which is the first of the spring season - with some absolutely awesome speakers. Very excited to hear these talks

Memeing like it's 2006

Old Fashioned followed by a Bramble is a great start to a Saturday 🤙🏽

A frantic 5 talks in 5 minutes lightning talk from @MrAndrew is exactly what you'd expect from Andrew - but the best part was that you can optimise your quality of life by flushing the turds in your life!

Learning driven development is a great reason to do a talk - really awesome advice from @JessPWhite at #WiTNotts

#WiTNotts is kicking off with @LittleHelli and @Anna_Hax talking about the awesome community and meetups we have, and getting more ⚡ talks up on the sign up board!

Omg the new #TechNott and #WiTNotts stickers are SO PRETTY Y'ALL - AND THEY SPARKLE!

I wonder if they'll survive the night 😱

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-FWdZAqhKZBnq

Thanks for the mention in the @TechNottingham newsletter - very honoured to be "Nottingham's most prolific tech blogger" 😂

That was a very 😋 Sunday lunch!

#Morph is definitely enjoying the Sunday sun 😴

Shall we play find the mousey?

#Morph isn't particularly happy that the cleaners are here, but he's making the best of it by hiding on our bed

#Morph is enjoying me working from home because it means he can sun himself all morning!

Throwback to 2 years ago, having my first meal out in public after a couple of months of recovery from my ruptured appendix

We've got @jk563 kicking off the first Lightning Talk at tonight's #NottinghamAwsMeetup

It's a hard time napping in the sun, but someone's got to do it

He snuffle

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from all of us in Nottingham - thanks to Lewis for taking the photo https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-tkC9vJmpYDW1

Bed time

I could've done with this before my appraisal!

I have an inkling that #Morph seems to want something. May be the cheese on the counter 😋

Today, Morph has decided that he's a Sphinx

We're enjoying Saturday snuggles ☺

Happy Valentine's day to everyone producing #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource, creating collaborative and inclusive spaces, and generally making the world go round a little better!

We're learning how to handle a cybersecurity incident tonight at https://phpminds.org with @cfing99 #PHPMiNDS

This #Gousto recipe was so nice tonight! The lamb was lovely and the naan topping was a little bit soggy but also crispy! https://www.gousto.co.uk/menu?recipeDetailId=1622

As a man, I don't see anything different between the photos 🤔 #TechNott

Very much enjoying @slsmithwell's talk at #TechNott about the many ways businesses mess things up with heavy reliance on metrics

The #TechNott announcement is here - they're running seasons, with three months of amazing speakers planned.

This is yet another thing to show why the tech community in #Nottingham is booming - it's like a monthly mini conference!

#TechNott is kicking off with @MrAndrew, and the promise of a secret announcement!

#WiTNotts is kicking off with the wonderful https://twitter.com/anna_hax and https://twitter.com/CarolSaysThings

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham!

Although it wasn't the Sunday roast Anna and I planned, Pieminister was quite nice!

He flop

And here is what the new notifications look like for https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/12/webmention-notifications/ for my webmentions

Goodbye #tenerife from Cat and me! It's been a wonderful week

And that's the last of the #Tenerife winter sun!

The montañas view, on the last full day in #tenerife

Penultimate #tenerife #sunset for the holiday 😥

Yet another beautiful day in #tenerife

The sun hath returned to #tenerife!

Feel like I definitely need a siesta after this Legendary Local #HardRockCafe burger 🍔😋😴 - burger with pulled pork, caramelised banana and the usual burger goodies, with a side of sriracha mayo and seasoned fries

https://twitter.com/MrsEmma what do you think of this as a presentation / serving format for honey? Our hotel is doing it and I thought it was really cool

This hotel is so lovely and green

Not a bad view from quiet adult-only space on the roof of the hotel

A big breakfast is never a bad start to the holiday, especially with an early start! #tenerife #wetherspoons

We've got http://twitter.com/CarolSaysThings kicking off #NottsJS tonight for a community project evening with https://twitter.com/Codesleuth

Great to see @KrishBhasin championing #Firefox's amazing privacy protection tools, ie Multi Account Containers https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ as a way to limit blast radius of tracking #TechNott

How can we assume that the layperson can say that they knowingly "opt in" to terms of service when they're incomprehensible, some great points in @KrishBhasin's talk at #TechNott tonight about the privacy implications of online advertising

@tom_geraghty is sharing some interesting learnings about high performing teams at tonight's #TechNott

#Gousto, so good, even the cats are in on it! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/07/four-months-gousto/ #BlackCat #mlem

It's a hard life being a cat #caturday

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham!

To celebrate the being able to share photos on my website, here's one of me and Anna's cat, Morph, over the holidays
