7 years ago I did something that I never thought I would want to do*. I stood up in front of people and dlivered a talk, my first ever talk. At an international conference, #Swetugg In just over a week, I'll be back, this time helping as well as talking 🤩 See you there! swetugg.se

Wow... I needed new headphones and after thinking about it for an age jumped for the B&W PX7 S2e. My Sony WH1000 XM4 were good, but these are a different level! So comfortable that I have been wearing then since for more than 4 hours now and don't have a hint of discomfort or fatigue.

And it’s done! I’m very happy with the results!

A relaxing morning of learning to shade using alcohol markers, and highlighting with gold, silver, and white gel pens. The fade. Between sky couples could be better, but not bad!

So... I just had a conversation with my partner... We were playing a family game we got for Christmas. It came with crappy plastic holders for the cards. That screech and scratch everytime they moved. So after a couple of games I stopped and designed a better holder that would sound better 1/n

After getting bored with the same old, same old. 80s and 90s Rally Cross came across my feed 🤩 Grouo B rally cars, banned from Rally, competing on short rally cross circuits. Outstanding!!!! Takes me back to being a kid and watching this with my dad on Sat. afternoons 😍 youtu.be/-y3mzKuoTic?...

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Yay! I can actually do a tech post! I’ve just spent the late afternoon & evening fighting my new #Minisforum PC to turn it into a @proxmox.bsky.social server! My old 1 died at the weekend. The machine was fine, and pros mix is easy. But as a Linux newbie moving the Van from the old SSD was 😵‍💫

Dear Amazon… 10 advert breaks in the 1st episode of Fallout will not make me pay more for what I already pay for. What it I’ll do is make me watch less… There are a fee series that I want to watch but just wont…

The joys of a new phone… Trying to get all the apps working again 😅 The amount of times I’ve had to scan in my drivers license so far is 😵‍💫 But… So far it’s worth it. My hearing aids work so much better with an iPhone than they did with my Flip Z6.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

The joys of #ChronicIllness... Yesterday I got a hair cut. I adore the results, I was aiming for something a bit more extreme than I normally do, maybe a little cyber punky. By the end of the cut I had a tick in 1 eye, and was absolutely broken. Today everything hurts and I think it's a bed day.

My hearing aids came with a travel case. Great, and I need it with me all the time so that the delicate wires don't get damaged if I need to take them out for any reason. But... Every time i catch sightbofnit i swear brain gets freaked about the strange mouse that has appeared 😂😅

Whenever I see someone with a brand new Tesla.

So... My hearing aids work best with an iPhone... So once I know that I am keeping them (in about 3 weeks) I'm thinking of making the switch back. So I was just looking at what I can get one for saw this reccomendation. I know they got big, but do I really need a wall mount for it? 😅🤣

I've never noticed it before, but i have now and can't unsee it. When you create an resource group in Azure, after the validation step the create button is on the right hand side, the cancel on the left. But when you create a resource in that group, the create button is on the left... How odd!

First full day with hearing aids and 2 things jump out at me... 1) I aparently used to speak loud because I could not hear myself, that is much better now 2) Wow, is the world a noisey place!!! Like I knew car tyres were loud on the motorway, but even on a normal street 🙉

OK... After switching to my MBP for a few months I think that I am about to go full fangirel. Not of the company, they are as bad as any other tech company. But their kit. I turned on my gaming PC to update it and... I hadn't touched it for 6 weeks.

Just cancel your Netflix subscription and stop buying avocados. You'll be fine

So... Let's try making some Christmas alcohol marker drawings. Number 1 a caftoony Christmas tree. I'm happy with the shading, and the lights. I really want to do some metallic posca tinsel but and terrified of ruining it 😅🫣🤣

Wow... Looking for a travel keyboard and found an absolute bargain as a black Friday deal. 35 euros for Cherry LP mechanical 60% keyboard 🤩 Sure I need new key caps as its nordic layout, but even the. 50 euros for a keyboard that's would cost 170 in Nederland!

Dear 90% of websites. When I am on a product page, and choose to login, you can be pretty sure that I want to return to that product page aftrwards. And not be taken to your home screen so that I have to start my search all over again...

The last couple of days I've been playing with @egilhansen.com's amazing #bUnit. So eay to work with, and I love that you can test both the markup, *and* the razor components that are present (or not) on your rendered component. Fantastic! bunit.dev

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

My "I will not go into any establishment that doesn't allow racists in" shirt is raising several questions, all of which are already answered by my shirt

And... My #Spotify subscription has been cancelled. I found a service that pays better, streams better quality, & offers buying the music in high-res lossless format as well. We took the #Qobuz monthly test subscription and it's great. Not a paid advertisment, just happy with them! www.qobuz.com

Today has been a good reading day. Inwas going through my library looking for something and Animal Farm by George Orwell came up. As with the speech Ibsuared a few weeks ago, this is a book the people should really read occasionally. openlibrary.org/works/OL1168...

#Øredev last week, #DotNetConf community day today. I'm now exhausted, but happy with the sessions I gave 😊 Thanks to anyone who spent their time listening to me 🤩 #MvpBuzz

Unfortunately #AzureStaticWebApps can't take advantage of #dotnet10 APIs yet - it normally takes a couple of weeks... But I'm already hard at work ensuring that my NuGet package for auth will be ready when it is! Plus I may be adding another festure too... Watch this space!

Woohoo! #Dotnet10 has been released, I've updated my VS Studio to VS 2026, and updated my demo for Thursday afternoon to use the released NuGet packages rather than the preview versions. I'm happy today that everything still works. Perfect!

Thursday 13th @ 3pm CET I'm going to be giving a community session for #DotNetConf! 30 mins of how to get started with EntraID in a Blazor Web App, and a few mins of me explaining the biggest pitfall I had in testing it when writing the talk! www.dotnetconf.net/agenda

Also unpopular opinion: I adore the 13th Doctor, and The Woman Who Fell to Earth and The Ghost Monument are brilliant episodes.

I am loving the train from Malmö to Stockholm! Only 15 euros upgrade to 1st class and it's space, comfort, drinks, snacks, and a delicious lunch! Another 75 mins and I can chill 🤩

#Øredev was amazing! Thanks for having me, I hope I get to come back next year! Now on the fast train to Stockholm to stay with friends (and use their Studio for my .NET Conf session). Malmö is awesome, the train I'm on is spectacular. Kafe, kannelbulle and a very comfy seat. Happy Stacy.

I'm an AI researcher and contract tech worker running as a Democrat for Congress in Massachusetts District 4 (MA-4). AI is expected to replace millions of workers while creating new forms of inequality. I'm fighting for 3 solutions to this problem: 1. Universal Basic Income

I don't want to seem showey offie or anything, but I just ordered coffee in Swedish 😊 I do struggle with languages, but being able to get caffine in the local language is good! 🤩

And I'm now looking at what's new in C# and .NET with @wildermuth.com!

Having a great time at @oredev.org! Just saw a talk about Azure Static Web Apps by @stacy-clouds.net. my talk on "What's New in C# 14 and .NET 10" is coming up after lunch at 1pm in the Hubble Room on the 2nd floor.

If you are you going to have a water tower, have an awesome one! View from my hotel in Mälmo!

Off to #Øredev! Hippo has a friend this trip 😊 See you all soon!

Hmm… Upgraded my iPad so that I could still fit films on it. The last gen M4 iPad Pro for about the same as an iPad Air is a stunning bit of kit! I also got a Magic Keyboard, built by #CoolBlue, it’s fantastic to type on, but weighs a ton, and you can’t fold it flat. Like, you know, a tablet…

Sunday morning weird problems... I've just spent 20 mins fighting #Rider from @jetbrains.com My functions just would not run. The configuration to launch was ignored and I got errors. Everything was correct (checked against a working app). The problem? I had removed a project from my solution

I got the water colours out again today. The new lights over the dining room table make the world of difference, but I can see I've not practiced for a while... All things considered not the worst things I've made, and it was fun 🤩

The CFP for #Swetugg 2026 closes at the end of today! If you have always wanted to try speaking, but were too afraid, then I can say from experience this is the place to try! Experienced speaker? We have a great crowd and *the best* speaker room I've ever seen. sessionize.com/swetugg-stoc...

OMG! It's been a while since I e been in a Bart De Smet level 666 talk. Awesome as always, and a real eye opener for those people who think garbage collection is a magical thing that means we don't need to think a out memory in C#...

Day 1 of @techorama.bsky.social was awesome! And I actually felt kind of OK. Woot! Day 2 and I'm really feeling it! 😭 But I'm going to make it

I'm off to @techorama.bsky.social this week! Not as a speaker 😭 But going to watch the awesome speakers who were picked. I havey program made, and now need to remove some talks to that I can conserve energy. It's going to be tough!
