In other news (and for balance) huge Kudos to @LeCreusetUK for honouring the lifetime guarantee on a 19 year old saucepan and sending me a replacement handle. Take a bow.
So @VodafoneUK now on day 7 of having no broadband or landline, and you’re refusing to take any ownership of the problem or even give me an ETA for when you’ll consider escalating it. Shame on you.
So @WeAreOpenreach: are you actually planning on reconnecting households in Cranbrook to landlines and broadband? 7th day now with zero service, no ETA for a fix, no updates. Shame on you
Well done, Team BNA! On the very cusp of glory!

.@TheEconomist reports that the #Covid19 crisis is acting like a spur for the digitisation of public services with, as I say, many opportunities emerging in the months to come as many large IT contracts with legacy providers are up for renewal economist.com/international/…
Trying to buy a freezer from @curryspcworld online - checkout gives me error message of "we can't process this payment". Live chat dude says "you'll have to come back later, the system was never designed to take this amount of traffic". It's Friday afternoon in 2020 - epic fail!
Hallelujah! After killing my trusty laptop by dint of stupidly trying to work outside near tea, our IT ninjas have got a MacBook to me. Begone, Win 10 with your Chrome crashes, uninvited software updates and notifications that stop you joining the meeting you're notifying me of.

Congratulations to @GreeveLtd @OXONdotTECH and @HelloBrandwidth who have successfully progressed to Phase 2 of our #GovTechCatalyst challenge @GDSTeam bit.ly/2pqbmEk
On Wednesday I presented a case study on the @mawwfire #govtechcatalyst Challenge at #GovDesignConf. @HelloBrandwidth (1 of the 2 companies we're working with) published about it brandwidth.com/work/providing…
Finding out how a service is being used without web analytics can be hard. However, @Loup73, User Researcher at GDS, shared 4 steps to help user researchers make use of alternative forms of data. userresearch.blog.gov.uk/2019/03/12/how…
We should grab opportunity to reshape #procurement (1/3rd govt £ each year) post-Brexit to: 📊 Give #SMEs a fair slice 💻 Embrace tech & innovation 📜Reduce unnecessary &costly litigation 🇬🇧Raise standards & ensure rules work for UK telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
What is the greatest barrier to working with government? Startups almost always give the same answer: procurement. @Johnny_Hugill (@PUBLIC_Team), Stephanie Gautier (@Silex_Sourcing), Stéphane Conty (DAE) & @HakonHaugli (@InnovasjonNorge) will discuss it at the #GovTechSummit!
Here's @Campaignmag's take on boo.com's launch at the time: campaignlive.co.uk/article/months…. And that's my little part in launching it: #boocrewforever.
And, exactly 20 years ago, we gathered in Carnaby Street just before 9am, Ernst pushed a button, and boo.com went live, as you can see at the end of this video. Cue another 6 months of adventure. youtube.com/watch?v=C36Z3i…
By the end of Nov 2, 1999, the senior team had bitten the bullet: boo.com was in good enough shape to launch.....a furious day of prepping for the PR launch and doing batches of pre-flight checks, then....time for bed. We were ready to rumble.
