It's Friday

Hi there

As you receive this I'll be hosting Laptop Friday in Cardiff, a co-working and informal networking meetup, that also takes place in Cheltenham, Bovey Tracey and Ilfracombe.

On Sunday I'll be road running in the Barry Island 10k and going once again for a personal best time. It looks like it's going to be hot 🥵

Have a wonderful weekend!

The lawsuits, filed in the Northern District of California in June and July, focus on the Meta Pixel tracking tool.
