Just standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing my teeth tonight, and noticed I must have been wearing a name tag all day!
I put it on at church this morning. Went shopping this arvo and then out to tea at a friend's place, and no one said anything!
Sales staff were very helpful 😀

Hmm the Australian government MyID app updated on my phone and then lost all data.
I now need to go through the whole "reconfirm my identity" thing again 🙁
I have a theory that the app forgot the data as for some reason it thinks my device name changed (which it hasn't since I set it up)

For years we've been told efficiency is everything ⚡ But what if human enjoyment was treated as a design principle too? Sakib Jalil shows us at #DDDAdelaide 2025 how to design products, services, and workplaces that deliver both 🎯✨ Efficiency gets things done, enjoyment makes us value them 💡

.NET Conf 2025 kicks off in around 5 hours. Hopefully I'll be fast asleep, but will watch the recordings tomorrow 😀.
I have a talk on Aspire that's going out on Friday (though it's already out of date as Aspire updates so quickly). Concepts are the same, just APIs have changed.

Still on iOS 18.7.1 as I'd heard a lot of grumbling about 26. Noticed 26.1 is out but wow - 11.5GB! That sounds more like a desktop than a mobile OS.
Still on the fence as to whether I hit 'update' though.

Went to a wedding in Kuitpo Forest today. It was cold, but thankfully the heavy rain kept away until after the ceremony. Weather in November can be unpredictable - only on Saturday it was a bright and sunny 25 and I was applying sunscreen!
A beautiful setting.

Great for the garden and farmers, but less so for friends of ours who are getting married later today outdoors in Kuitpo Forrest.👰🤵
Looking forward to attending their wedding, but it may be a challenging day to be dressed up 🙂☔☂️

Follow up to the "lost PVC storm water elbow" post from earlier.
Had to go back to the hardware shop for some more supplies and thought I'd ask at the information desk if anyone had handed in anything. Long shot but no.

Well this is weird. I went to the hardware store today to get a few things including some extra 90mm PVC storm water elbows.
But now I'm home I can't find them anywhere! I'm sure I put them in the car from the shopping trolley, as I actually returned the trolley back inside the store.
A mystery!
