If you weren't captured like this, did you really give a conference talk?

Been thinking about using random-but-deterministic images on our #LaraconAU badges this year, and when I asked @taylorotwell.bsky.social how he did it he said "Vibe code it" Here's the result of Laricon; vibe-coded and live on Laravel Cloud laricon.laravel.cloud

Here's a piece of this year's mission to #LevelUp

If you, like me, had a pre-Herd (Brew) mysql-cli kicking around causing issues (most pressing was being unable to run artisan schema:dump) Uninstall the Brew version, go into services in Herd's UI, right click MySQL, and click Symlink, then reopen your terminal

What does the Venn diagram of QI fans, Laravel fans, and Australianism aficionados look like?

DST ended and winter is around the corner, but in the meantime. Photos taken seconds apart 180degrees from each other

Do Jokic next! Dončić is a generational talent, he’s just European 😂

800km! I just hadn’t realised I was at 800km on the last pair already until I started getting sore. Coincided with adding distance and warmer weather I set my Strava reminder to 700km so I don’t leave it so late next time ha

Nothing quite like the relief and comfort of running with new shoes 🥰

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 11/02/2025

Ok, ok, they should be here tomorrow and Thursday’s run should be more comfortable than the last few weeks have been 🙏🏻

May have found the source of my knee pain. Ran 6km this morning, but “felt” contact with the ground in the front of my foot as it rolled. Time for new shoes, better support ought to mitigate the knee pain. Didn’t think I’d covered as much ground in them as I had.

Meanwhile, I’m over here making coconut raspberry slice

How will we get gold like this otherwise? The NBA has bigger problems with their product than the coach’s challenge, though 😂

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 25/01/2025

Pretty sure this will be my last run, I think I’ve ground out whatever cartilage was left in my knee Didn’t make it past 10km, and that was a real struggle, too 😭 Better get good at swimming faster

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 19/01/2025

Somebody decided to turn the heat up the same day I decided to turn the distance up. 7km started to struggle, 9.25km I had to walk for about 500m, then finished. Was aiming for ~6min/km, which came unstuck around that walk sadly.

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 11/01/2025

New 10km PR after a “week off” (skipped my two mid-week 5km to recover a bit after feeling a bit stiff and sluggish. I still felt stiff and sluggish, though 😅

110

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 04/01/2025

Somebody turned the temperature up a couple degrees on my run this morning - and I felt it. Recovering in a radox bath 😅 No pace PRs, but set a kilojoule record, so that’s something!

It’s only been out of the box two days! 😩

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 28/12/2024

There was a fun run on my usual course this morning. Didn’t want to be inadvertently associated with it, so was overtaking everybody. Beat my PB (from last week) by 47sec as a result! Not bad on top of two weeks of holiday eating, either 😅

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 25/12/2024

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Quite windy. And I needed, a uh, mid-run pit stop 😬

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 25/12/2024

I’d say your problem would more be all the other stuff lol Sauerkraut on its own, though 👌🏻

When it starts to turn this colour, you’re well on your way!

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 23/12/2024

It all gets jammed into the slow cooker, mixed up with the miscellaneous meat, then layered with more cabbage and sauerkraut until full. You sweat it down, mix it up (mixes older with newer cabbage, stops bits burning on the bottom), then add more cabbage/sauerkraut.

Every now and then - certainly not as often as I’d like - my inner ethnic (Polish) comes out to cook 🤤

I think the fast 5km I ran Thursday was still lingering this morning, but got my fastest 10km (only my second recorded one, though) Good for pancake brekkie I reckon!

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 19/12/2024

Just checked Strava for this run 🏃🏼‍♂️

Still hit that wall around 8km, left hip/groin/thigh got a bit tight, but pressed on and was ok by 9km. Was a bit warmer and windier, but made it to 10km in under an hour this Sunday gone 🏃‍♂️

Michael Dyrynda @dyrynda.au · 08/12/2024

I said to @rdyrynda.bsky.social the other day, “how hard can it be to go from 7km to 10km running?” Harder than i thought, apparently. Got tough around 8.5km, but coffee shop met me at 9.41km. Kept under a 6’ average, though! Back 5km faster average than front 4km 🏃🏼‍♂️

Picked up a new (felt) desk mat from Desky during their BF sale. Feels nice under arms, good bit of squish to it, and slightly smaller than old one, so better fit for my desk in its current config 🤙🏻

Just give me some kind of shadow mode, Apple Music! I don't want my family room homepod and kids-in-car counting towards my listens 😭

Knowing my wife as I do, I should be forgiven for thinking she was inappropriate. BUT! I do have an "other" bobblehead, thanks to last year's @laracon.au speakers 🫶

I can wait for an Apple device 😍 This did make me laugh though. Apple isn't making a $90 device

We bobble heading today?

Got the tree up today! These lights are never going back in the box the same, though 😬

Been doing it manually for months, but finally automated extracting chapters and links out of mp3 files to make adding YouTube description much faster!
