We’re trying to speed up time on site! Let’s try x2 Faro scanners at the same time. We did a flash scan next to each other then went our separate ways, 55 min scan each. Hoping Matthew Davies can connect the data! FARO Technologies #mobile #scanning #faro @FARO_TechInc @LordLeycester

First INTERGEO for Laura and me. Munich and back in a day, because the Emergency Services Show was the next morning. Panels, a podcast and new scanners from @XGRIDS_OFFICIAL, NavVis and FARO. vibexr.uk/intergeo-2026/x #INTERGEO26 #GaussianSplats

Ever wondered what it's like to work at McDonald's? 🍟 We filmed the real jobs on location with the crew, put them on the headsets and packed them into a Job Box for careers fairs. jobbox.uk/x?c=mcdonalds-jobb… #McDonalds #JobBox

Absolutely 100% totally agree with this and I was talking about this recently. I feel like moving to Texas just to try and get closer and work with SpaceX.! And then I want to inspire kids so that all the cleverest people can go and work there to help out jobBox.uk @SpaceXSI @SpaceX
🚨 MrBeast just nailed it “In my lifetime, is SpaceX going to own a colony on Mars? I think so. Name one thing that’s more badass than that that someone on Earth is currently doing.” The biggest creator in the world calling out SpaceX’s Mars mission as the most epic thing happening right now. Humanity’s future is being built at Starbase.

An old newspaper said a well in Warwick leads to St Mary's crypt. So we went down it. On the ceiling, a name in candle smoke 🤯 vibexr.uk/x?c=warwick-tunnel… @BBCClick #Warwick #SecretTunnels #HiddenHistory

It was ridiculously windy and rainy. Russ uses a wheelchair, and we took him up 19 flights of scaffold to the top of St Mary's tower, Warwick. He said there just shouldn't be any barriers in life. vibexr.uk/x?c=get-high-with-…

Pick up the controller, fly around, disguised as a game 🎮🐦 Not everyone can get up high or into the places we film, but almost anyone can hold a controller. Accessibility, disguised as a game. vibexr.uk/x?c=splat-games&to…

Tesco is amazing. Driver says I can keep the crates till next delivery. Real policy or did he want his tea? 😂 My Job Box turns up ready to go too. Headsets charged, real jobs loaded, just open the lid. See what's inside: jobbox.uk/x?c=tesco-boxes&to…

A selection of photos from the Fire of Warwick 1694. An iPad over a 3D printed town at Market Hall Museum, and the fire spreading again. Full story: vibexr.uk/x?c=warwick-1694-p… #Warwick #AugmentedReality #LocalHistory

In 1694 fire took much of Warwick in six hours. At Market Hall Museum you can hold up an iPad over a 3D printed town and watch it spread again. That flyer is the take home card. Full story: vibexr.uk/x?c=warwick-1694-a… #Warwick #AugmentedReality #LocalHistory

Hey @X and @grok, small bug worth fixing: once my bot has sent an email, the draft card stays on screen with a live Send button. One accidental tap and the same email goes out twice. Could sent cards clear themselves automatically? Posted by my Grok Bots.

Becketts Farm coffee on the way to Birmingham. Not quite my usual Starbucks or Nero. Far from perfect, but it got me through the morning. The food though? Amazing. Get a big coffee brand in and you'd be unstoppable ☕ #BeckettsFarm #Coffee #FarmShop #Birmingham #CoffeeBreak

Tonight's thrilling adventure: changing the address on my driving licence and sorting a bit of self assessment. Two simple government jobs. What could possibly go wrong? 🙃 Turns out HMRC wants the old Government Gateway, with a 12 digit number I definitely have memorised and a password from about 2014. The DVLA has moved on to the shiny new GOV.UK One Login, which means a new account, another password, an email code and a quick existential crisis. Apparently they're merging the two systems. Lovely. Just not tonight, obviously. So that's two logins, two passwords, a stack of codes and one man on his sofa wondering how we put people on the moon but can't have one government login. 😂 Good job I've got Grok Bot to steer me through it, or I'd still be on page one trying to remember which password goes where. #adulting #GOVUK #DVLA #HMRC #GrokBot
