With the release of the second generation of Apple AirTag it got me thinking about how we use them and how they’re built.
As an example, here’s a screenshot of wallets that have an AirTag pocket on the front of them. What do you notice about the AirTags?
They all show the metal side facing out. The reverse side, white plastic, is the part that you can have engraved.
Is there a “right way round” or does it not matter?

A strong title, I’ll admit. But, as you’ll see, I’m not wrong.
I’ve been a massive fan of Battlefield 4 since it first came out. I bought it for the PlayStation 3 and then upgraded to the PlayStation 4 version, when I got that. I played it for thousands of hours and hit the top rank.
I ran the website bfmedic.com for many years, which gave news and tips about Battlefield, and crafted gameplay videos on YouTube.

Not surprising considering its age. But there are just a handful of official game servers left and a sprinkling of other servers, often just playing the same map on repeat.
So, I thought I’d rent my own server.

With the release of WordPress 6.9, I’m finally returning to the contributing to core. The last time was WordPress 6.5 (I’m genuinely not sure what I did for that one – it certainly wasn’t code related!) and, previous to that, 5.8, which was over 4 years ago.
And this contribution has been quite the journey.

Every year I like to share the contents of my backpack. I travel a lot at WordPress VIP, so it often changes to reflect updated products as well as differences in my own thinking.
So, here I present what I’m carrying around in 2024 (albeit some of these will be dependant on the type of journey I’m making).
