Yes I'll have the White Woman dessert and the wrong coffee to room 2137 please.

Left home midday Friday local time. Landed at my destination airport Saturday 10pm Aussie time. That was a big trip.

I'm at an airport in transit without a boarding pass. My next flight leaves at 11:45 and they will post the gate information AT 11. How does that give me enough time to confirm my gate exists and I'm at the correct end of the terminal?? Who is running this place??

It's actually amazing how much better coffee, carbs & protein can make you feel.

My QANTAS cabin manager looks like Margot Robbie and if I didn't know better I would think is that just what all Australians look like?

When you have 30 hours of travel ahead of you ...

Felt so strong at Pilates tonight that I put all my upper body springs up .5-1 higher than recommended. May not be able to lift a paper bag tomorrow.

The hardest part about writing talks is deciding what to leave out.

I didn't want to do the thing and now I am doing the thing I don't want to stop doing the thing to eat.

Can someone invent a camp for adults? I want to go hiking & kayaking & zip lining & eat in the mess hall and sit by the campfire at night.

Ah, up to the part of "replace and with &" part of editing, to save two characters.

My heart rate doesn't know the difference between being chased by a wild animal and writing my own performance review.

Really enjoyed giving my talk on microVMs and why I have made it my life’s work to make things more secure by default 😊

Damn, Copilot is right: You don’t need to “want” to do this. You just need to start messy.

178 saved TikTok videos. 1 AI job to transcribe them all. Now I have a powerful search engine targeting only the videos I had saved. "Give me a list of places to go to get great photos of the Colosseum" has given me explanations and a map. "Pull a list of all the recommended shoes, by category"

It's been interesting watching the evolution of AI. I used to need different tools for different use cases. Now I use less tools but they call other tools as needed.

In the clouds.

Travelling always makes me want to get home and live my best life, eat well, work out. But particularly this trip, gathering for a death in our family. How to hold on to this desire to age well, when routine and stressors hit.

Started the day sitting in hot pools with my family watching the sunrise. As magical as it sounds.

Hey, young me, it works out pretty well. And your kids are awesome.

Sometimes we get so in the weeds of doing our jobs, or the details of technology, that we lose sight of the magic that people are using it for. Our Microsoft Imagine Cup reminds me that I do my job so people can build things with our products, and those things are awesome. imaginecup.microsoft.com

Sorry boss, need the day off to bond with my dog.

People who think for a living can't fix a tired brain by resting it. That's why many tech people have a hobby that uses their body: playing an instrument, making/fixing things, building LEGO, working out, playing sport. lots of tech people create tangible things to counteract their digital world.

Can bird species understand each other? I've been feeding two pairs of crows every morning and today a white cockatoo arrived. They were all vocalising so I'm wondering if the cockatoo heard this is where breakfast is served and has come to check it out.

Today is brought to you by caffeine and sheer determination.

"Copilot, write me a thing and add a couple of random typos so it looks like it came from me."

I'm seeing a theme where a bunch of super smart young folk who have never deleted the production database or had to stand infront of a board and explain a breach - think security and reliablity are boring and old fashioned and then blow things up by accident ... www.wired.com/story/thousa...

Octocat in the wild @martin.social

Today I used AI to extract information from a spreadsheet, match it to info in my organisation, spit me out a list and then add additional info. Saved me so much manual labour. All within my tenant.

'We're going to have 6, 7 slides' . .. ...

It's 4:30pm and I don't want to log off, I want to build an agent.

While troubleshooting a light reflection on my Elgato Prompter, I found this video specifically for Macs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3dC...

Everyone said if I was in tech, I should learn to code. Instead I learnt how to fix servers and networks and backups and stuff. On the weekend I built a new blog website with GitHub Copilot.

OpenClaw event at GitHub SF office on June 3rd. I can pretty much guarantee this is going to quickly sell out, so register early! luma.com/OpenClaw-Git...

I know we like to talk about the shape of spoons, but what does it mean when you have a strong opinion about coat hangers? Asking for a friend.

So we settled on a Hugo site with images in Azure blog storage. The coolest thing has been watching GitHub Copilot find issues and resolve them by itself.

What could possibly go wrong?

The DOS kernel source code was found on paper printouts, scanned and made compilable …

I did one dance fitness class and my Garmin tells me I need to recover for 92 hours.

Being middle aged means doing a dance class at the gym, coming out like a soggy beetroot, then going home to ice your knee.

I'm annoyed that Monday is a public holiday and I won't have a full, meeting free day of work. Which is exactly why I need a long weekend.

My favourite thing about AI is that we suddenly have seventy gazillion AI agents and tools that people have created. In one organization.

I’m biased, and that’s intentional. My team helped put together Windows Server Summit 2026 because this space still matters. Windows Server is still running critical workloads. Hybrid is real. This event is about the stuff you actually deal with, not marketing slides. #itpro #winServer

Now I have my British passport, I've just received an Instagram ad to apply to join mi6.

I've spent the afternoon in Copilot and Excel and honestly, it's helped me achieve something so much quicker than I could have done manually. Fetching links, writing decriptions, finding info, merging cells. Crazy good.

Dearest gentle event attendees, Session evaluations are IMPORTANT. Please give us your feedback. It really doesn't take that long and we need to know what we did right and what we need to change. My latest session had over 300 in-person attendeees. I've had 10 survey responses. TEN
