- Benchmarking the top-level domain names - Some of the newer TLD nameservers are taking up to 200ms to respond in some cases
- Twitter to introduce ability to stop people replying to tweets - Looks like some quite big changes are happening, will be interesting to see how it affects the flow in the twittersphere
- It was looking at bit cramped, so I added a bit of space between linkblog links, hopefully a bit easier to read - Another bug surfaced though, if you use a highlightable message link to a link in a day that has more than a screen full of links then it gets highlighted but it's not focused because it is just off of the page, so you manually have to scroll a bit - For example this link to a post about blogging with Hugo does it on my laptop screen, I don't have a solution for that right now
- The Split Personality Of Brutalist Web Development - Some interesting ideas in this article, an exploration of various website styles with some detours into the worlds of architecture and the arts, I’m wondering now why there aren’t more web developers that specialise in a specific style

- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, announced on Instagram that they “intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen” - I think this is great news, exceptionally well timed, an exciting new chapter for both the UK and the US, I wish them all the best
