Thanks!

Please hit us up on GH with some more details, or your broken builds.
I’ve just crossed 1000km for running on Strava.
Actually this one is the strava activity, I've recorded on both my phone and watch, because some of the segments have really bad gps. Watch did have me run 200m backwards at the start, and more into the woods in one place. On the other hand it has my HR and cadence.

After the ultra hot half-marathon race last week I tried in a more reasonable weather and set a new PB. It even surprised me, I was hoping for 1:45, but was able to speed up and sustain the faster pace in the second half of the run.
Did halfmarathon in Usti yesterday. My first ever half-marathon race. And the weather was brutally hot. People were quitting left and right, some of the pacers gave up.

Finished in 2:04, deeply under my target time. But I am still happy with the time, I gave it all.

Litlle bit of break to calm down before my second talk. In this nice tiny coffee place surrounded by green.
Speaking at #wugcz this time in czech so my grandma can watch it and for once understand what I am saying.
Summer is gone, and tomorrow at #microsoft #prague we will again welcome three awesome speakers for our #dotnet meetup.

Please join us for this in-person event, to meet like minded people, geek out on .NET and eat some great pizza.

Some time ago I've done #powershell meetup for PSUG Rhein-Neckar. Showing how to cover your existing PowerShell code with Pester tests. Recording was published today, so here it is:

Had some time, and interesting problem so I wrote a blogpost after some years: jakubjares.com/2025/08/22/r...

This is on my watch list :)
This year I've again presented on #psConfEu, this time in Malmo, Sweden.

I was sick most of the conference, but made the most of the one talk I was able to give: PowerShell Profiler Internals.

Hope to see you all next year!
And just today when I went to do another chore, I went to grab the protective glasses without even thinking about it.

So success in conditioning myself to be more safe!

I’ve got 3M 2890, and they are excellent.

And are also great for cutting onions.
Kind of weird to be posting about my New Year’s resolution in the middle of summer. But for this year, it was not that I lose some weight but using eye protection every time I do something dangerous.

Cleaning the drain: wear eye protection.

Drilling a hole in the wall: wear eye protection.

Really enjoyed presenting with @rprust.bsky.social today at #psconfeu about Teaching yourself Pester.
Last minute replacement. I hope @jakubjares.com feels better.
Tobias showing #psconfeu how to use ScriptBlock. ScriptBlocks are the basis of #powershell, and everyone wants to learn about them.
