We've (finally) roadmapped IPv6 support for www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com!
Via the same workstream, we'll also support v6 on BBC Account (login) and more (maybe all) of media (iPlayer and Sounds) plus our mediation layer.
Yeah I know it's 2026 and others have been doing v6 for aaaaages but we had some awkward blockers and coordination between www and media to sort out.
No firm timelines yet but I'm expecting it to be in the first half of 2027 assuming no delays 🤞🏻

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of:
* specifying requirements
* verifying correctness and quality
* maintaining and operating software you didn't write
As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!

@VeroniqueB99 maybe they are thinking house-arrest, but without the joined-up brain online?

I’ve said this many times - have a playbook for Advanced Persistent Teenagers, ransomware and extortion groups. Practice it.
It’s far more likely to need to be used than nation-state espionage playbooks - and these incidents are far more damaging if not well handled.
You need to flood the zone with messaging, put it on the front page of your website, be calm and upfront with customers. If you have 15 lawyers on a call debating legal risks, you’ll lose customer trust. Get the CEO on BBC News.
@sheepfilms like a caterpillar, clearly.
especially those long ones with a concertina-covered hinge in the middle...

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum.
If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom?
You were never a parent at all.
You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.
If you can go every level of ham to support their travel hockey league, whether you like hockey or not, you can do it to support their deepest hearts & souls.
For fuck’s sake.

I had quite a sensible work day today. Since finishing I have put the finishing touches on a very silly parody film poster, and now I've put some googly eyes on some mushies. My evening may have peaked 😁
