This is not to say that there is not a lot of bad about this story but for me the lack of detection is the most concerning

Question: Is it unethical to buy a discounted student ticket to an event if you also work full time? (Even if you are studying in some capacity too and have a student ID) personally, I think it is but curious on others’ thoughts.

Someone on IG made a mini MAGI computer from Evangelion mockup with different models debating each other and I realised that this is the OG agentic harness.

Well, this is me signing off from Microsoft. I have worked here for 7.5 years and although I have had weeks to prepare for this, I will confess I am not OK today. But I will be OK (this isn't a cry for help) as I have a lot of good people around me. See you all in the next adventure.

I got an email this weekend from a lovely gentleman who wanted to tell me that if you lose connectivity on Teams, it shows a picture of a Shibe! More of these random awesome messages, please.

A few folks have asked but no, I won’t be at BHUSA/DEFCON next week. I am applying to be an Australian citizen later this year and need to stay onshore the next couple of months. I’m sure I’ll be back next year: have fun y’all!

I know it is traditional to take a picture of your laptop and badge but as there have been too many of those in the past few weeks so please enjoy one of my dogs in a sprint competition and a few highlights from my time here because it is much cuter for your feed.

Sadly, I won’t be at hacker summer camp in a few weeks’ time to mingle and see what opportunities are out there because I need to stay in Australia for my citizenship application this year.

So what’s next? Well, I’ll be taking some time to rest up and see what’s out there that sparks joy whether inside or outside of Microsoft. Things I have done whilst at MS that I’m particularly proud of:

I know I’ve made many friendships for life and got to contribute to projects and initiatives and products and events I never imagined possible.

A few weeks ago, I too was informed that my Microsoft role had been made redundant for the second time in 14 months. Grateful for the friendship and opportunities that have been afforded to me whilst I have been here.

I became a stereotype and did a Hyrox race yesterday. I finished and I think my time was respectable for a first timer but jeeeez my body ACHES.

My two knew what to do immediately as soon as the plastic bag moved, not all of the dogs there did though

Timeline cleanser for Monday: at the weekend my dogs took part in a sprint competition. Mina is pure joy chasing a plastic bag on a wire.

I'm a *tiny* bit biased but of course the best thing in the #MSBuild keynote was the MDASH demo! You can re-watch the keynote here: www.youtube.com/live/FFMm454... And the full #MSSecurity Build blog post is here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

Super pumped for Build tomorrow: we have some awesome things to show you! Tune in at 10am PT tomorrow for the keynote from Satya, you can livestream here build.microsoft.com. And for my antipodean crew, it'll be recorded so you can watch when you get up.

Today someone called Grayson a "chicken nugget in a jumper". Well, he's old which is why he has a jumper because he gets cold in the winter, also it's a cute charity jumper from Bunnings (Australia's Home Depot). Also, don't diss my dog.

In a plot twist I wasn't expecting, I will be at #MicrosoftBuild in a few weeks' time! Only on Tuesday 2nd June, come say hi if you're attending!

My author copies of the second edition of the SC-200 Exam Ref which I wrote with @yuridiogenes turned up this week. Can't believe I wrote the 1st version of this ~5 years ago stuck in lockdown in NZ! If you're using Sentinel and Defender you should read, up to date with the new unified portal etc.

Happy Agent 365 GA day to those who celebrate! You might have seen me at AI Tour or RSAC or somewhere talking about how awesome it is, so go forth and use A365 to manage and secure your agents. It was also the wrap up of the FY26 AI Tour this week so we had one last on-stage squad picture.
