I went for a walk with a good friend who I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic started. We stopped by the COVID memorial wall, showing heart after heart after heart, each recognising someone who has died from this awful disease. It was… well, “striking” doesn’t begin to cover it.
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦♂️
PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE
And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)
Boost if I'm right.
Bye bye Systems team, I'm now back to a Projects team full-time.
