Goosebumps! Such an amazing group of people, and the photo doesn't show the fabulous audience as well!!

Seriously, just submit! We can even help you with the CFP submission, and down the track we can help you with speaker training... It honestly couldn't be much easier than this ☺️

I've never thought of myself as "inattentive"... But I've just become acutely aware of how much my attention gets drawn away while I read a book. A good, engaging book. Oh what's that crumb on my top? Let me just post about this observation. Oh what's that thread ok Bluesky? 🤦‍♀️

It beggars belief that the AFL is persisting with the choice of Snoop Dog to provide the entertainment at the Grand Final. Misogynism and homophobia must not be condoned.

Saturday morning status: benchmarking a new function we created this week, which will currently be used in both .NET Framework 4.8.1 and .NET 8 and above. The perf improvements in ".NET Core" is really mind-blowing 🤯 The sooner we finish our migration project the better! #dotnet

Did you know Windows Terminal can do "split tabs"? This is such a productivity boost if you do a lot in terminal Alt+Shift+- and Alt+Shift++ to split Alt+Shift+arrows will change the split width/height Alt+arrows will move between your split Ctrl+Sft+W to close And mouse works to move too!

I was speaking with someone the other day at DDD By Night about typing speeds.... It had been a while, and I am always saying how much I hate my new flashy keyboard for typing. Well, it seems when I put my mind to it and concentrate, I can actually do alright still! (QWERTY keyboard, not DVORAK)

My fav loyalty card app Stocard recently got bought out by Klarna. An awful, lesser mobile app was forced upon us, and I was altogether unhappy. I then just found out yesterday Klarna is a BNPL business. Yuk. I've now migrated everything to Supercards and requested my data be deleted by Klarna

Finally got business approval for purchasing a @microsoft M365 Copilot licence 👌🏻 So why am i not playing with it yet? Because it seems it's taking forever to propagate the licence to my devices! How long have others found it takes, especially for the first licence in the organisation?
