iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Oh that was a good workout. Put up my weights for hack squat, lat pulldown and cable row. Next time I'll increase dumbbell bench press. Progress.

Yeah we still haven't figured out how to stop PU from disintegrating. You would have thought I'd personally killed the animal when I chose genuine leather in a handbag making workshop but mine wont deteriorate.

Monday looks like FinOps, FinOps for AI and Tokenomics, as I prep for two events.

Volunteer? SAR folks rock. I got started in Urban environments first because of my hometown's earthquake risk but did more field based SAR when I moved to Australia.

One thing I've learnt as a speaker is to catch people's attention immediately. I don't start with "hello, thanks for having me, are you enjoying the event .." The opening line for my next talk just popped into my head. "The title of my talk is the wrong question to be asking."

Sometimes I don't want AI to make my slide deck for me but it's really helpful to say "Design this slide to have eight circle placeholders for photos with a title under each and a description under the title" and for it to just line up all my placeholders. (Copilot in PowerPoint)

Hey that's cool but no, this is a topic deck with internal and external info. So I don't have to keep explaining the same thing.

Sonia Cuff @soniacuff.com · 23/09/2026

Apart from meetings, I've spent most of today making an internal slide deck that I wish existed. My hope is that Copilot will pick it up as a resource if people ask questions about this topic. It's a deck on purpose so people can steal slides if useful for other presentations.

In the "back at the gym" mode where I'm restraining myself and it's a frustrating as heck. But I can't start too heavy. Baby steps are hard.

Am I back at the gym? Heck yes. Have I blown out my right knee doing hack squats? I'm trying not to!

Sonia Cuff @soniacuff.com · 16/09/2026

Does it mean anything that in a word puzzle I saw "lawless" instead of "flawless"?

Sonia Cuff @soniacuff.com · 15/09/2026

lol you're doing it right. Have a great day!

"sorry dinner is late, kids, mum was troubleshooting her application deployment"

Sonia Cuff @soniacuff.com · 14/09/2026

Currently stuck between the determination to fix something versus the desire to delete it and start the deployment again. With the first, I'm learning a lot. The second option is much quicker.

It's a pretty good Sunday

All of my ironing is done, Miss 21 is on her way home from a film shoot and I'm about to start making roast beef for dinner.

I snapped a plastic fin off the front of my car today because I thought she could handle the low speed hairpin turning circle. She could not. She kissed the tyre of a 4WD. It's not a big deal but I'm so mad at myself.

Do fit people have cleaners because on my rest day I've already hit my step goal and my shoulder is burning from vacuuming.

Nobody told me in school that this was an option. So I sucked at clarinet instead.

Just don't get a puppy because their tongue is for blep.

Did a new program at a new gym today. Will not be lifting my hair dryer tomorrow.

I don't want a folding phone. I don't want self driving cars. I don't want AI generated images of me in the 80s. I want cures for cancer and no housing crisis and how we save our planet.

I'll take "oh they no longer work for the company" for $10.

This means you are doing it right.

That driftwood is doing a really great impersonation of a goose.

I'm trying to understand it so I can make it easier for others. Halp.

I'm creating a Kubernetes cluster. What could possibly go wrong.

Off to a charity dinner tonight so I'm preloading. It's a Monday night. I'm driving. So I'm chugging a protein water because your perimenopausal girl's gotta keep her grams up.

Hubby had used Shockz for cycling and I'm unsure but maybe I should try his.

Oh thanks, I didn't even know they did earbuds.

Thinking of getting some new earbuds for the gym, after one too many times of having an AirPod eject and bounce under equipment. Recommendations? Pref noise cancelling. Not headphones.
