The motto I live by:
There is always something you can teach
There is always something you can learn
(probably said by someone famous/clever, but I don't know who)
Hi. My name is Kyana and I wrote a children’s story book to represent then men and women like me; Air Traffic Controllers.

🇧🇧 Well a great evening at Surfers Bay for a charity school PTA auction tonight.
Bad news: my wife’s knee dislocated again walking out to the car
Good news: we won an aloe head! So fantastically silly.
🇧🇧 Congratulations to @centralbankbb and all the banks and credit unions, looks like the BimPay launch has been a success! A few minor issues with rate limiting but other than that looks like all has worked.
🇧🇧 Seems BimPay or CIBC need to add another hamster to the wheel. Trying to link my account and it hung for ages and then came back with service unavailable.
The Central Bank of Barbados has confirmed that BiMPay, Barbados’ new national instant payment system, will go live at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2026.
However, two institutions, Scotiabank and AffinityPlus Credit Union, will not initially connect to the e-wallet.
AI agents are beginning to transact, pay for services, and settle value autonomously.
Today, we're introducing the XRPL AI Starter Kit, a new set of tools and integrations designed to help developers build agentic payment applications on the XRP Ledger: on.ripple.com/4v7STIm
Phase 1 includes:
→ XRPL Docs MCP Server
→ Claude Skills for wallet creation, payments, and transaction tracking
→ X402 support for agent-to-agent payments using $XRP and $RLUSD
XRPL's fast settlement, predictable costs, and native payment functionality make it a strong foundation for agentic payments.
Quite a good day in the end. Spent most of it working on Yuh Gettin Tru. Found a pretty big issue that was affecting search quality (will do a video on it tomorrow). Assembled a mini-greenhouse for my wife. Tried to fix a leak in my pool (maybe successful?). Then took Violet for a sea bath to try and sooth the patch of skin she has rubbed raw. Went paddleboarding. Bumped into “Happy Feet” a guy who does foot massage down Paynes Bay, at the gas station. Had a Guinness with him. He recognised me and my wife from 2 years ago at the fish market when we were testing out the new kayak we got. Then bumped into Justin Slater, who I follow on IG. A fellow Brit enjoying his life in Barbados. Now just listening to chilled vibes up loud on the stereo, pulled a damn fine espresso, and trying to work out what to cook for dinner. Peace.
For the next Twitter Space, we're chatting with @davidfowl, a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft.
He ships production-grade .NET at scale with AI, but he's very clear that building production software with AI is NOT the same as building demos with AI.
So he’ll share:
✅His actual daily AI workflow
✅How he redesigned entire workflows instead of just going faster
✅ Why agent readiness is one of the best signals of codebase health

🇧🇧 I know terrestrial TV in general is fighting for its life at the moment... but CBC are not making it any easier when they haven't updated their TV guide since April
