Back home from my final work trip of 2025. It’s been a year of extremes: some amazing highs but also tough times so I’m going to sign off from all my professional socials earlier than usual for the Christmas/New Year break to disconnect. Catch you all in 2026!

The fact that I can ignore all the identity/auth/user stuff for #atproto apps is such a superpower. That always stops me on personal projects. I don't want to have to care about those things. I just want to make stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American pals! 🦃

America are you ok?
It’s not too late to go shopping and start a new thanksgiving tradition - violence.

You can send anything to the Ripple machine to print !

Today’s latte art is Mina. 🦊

Sure is!

The king

I’m at the breakfast buffet in the hotel:

Lady in front of me has an egg white omelette and all kinds of healthy stuff

Me: every pastry under the sun and all the fried stuff

🙃

All this Shai-Hulud part 2 stuff is making me want to watch Dune again.

Episode #121 is out! We turn the tables and speak to @markasimos.bsky.social about new material from The Open Group. It's a long episode but worth it! Also, the news!

Went for a massage today. The lady told me that both my body and head are tired. Couldn’t be more right.

I object!

Ignite day 3: happy 40th birthday Windows!

If you come down the escalators from Moscone South, it’s at the back wall on the left almost right in the corner

Can’t believe this isn’t front and centre but I guess we’re not in a traditionally footballing nation

Also, they would not let me lift it 🥲

My face when I found out the Premier League trophy at #MSIgnite is actually real

Weight training for the day

The secure the night product name LEDs are back!

Found @sarahyo.com at #msignite2025 and it's already turning out to be a great start to the day!

Achievement unlocked: get the shibes into official Microsoft content. #MSIgnite

It’s dried fruit, sugar and spices in a sweet pastry. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It’s served across Commonwealth countries for Christmas.

You can definitely buy sweet mincemeat in a jar to make your own in Commonwealth countries, maybe at an importer?

I would not want a meat mince pie in sweet pastry!

I keep forgetting that Americans aren’t familiar with mince pies and have to explain that they don’t actually have meat in them 😅
