I _really_ wish Azure DevOps would support modern Markdown rendering. The odd ADO version drives me crazy.... I mean, what is with the Mermaid JS specific code fencing?!

The mobile experience around the @microsoft365.microsoft.com Planner App is appalling. Travelling back today, and trying to organise engineers for a project worth millions and it’s not possible without a full-on laptop and stable internet connection.

Blown away by how good this thing is. Reliable, fast, and looks amazing too!

Welcome to the UK 🇬🇧 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/16/politics/video/trump-epstein-photos-on-windsor-castle-uk-digvid

Just a pair of paedophiles posing in the park. Possibly pending the prince participant?

"You are being musically mean to me and it's hurting my feelings so I am going to call the police department that we are supposed to be supporting to report a feels violation."

Some crazy skies tonight here in the UK.

Using GPT-5 (preview) via @github.com Copilot this-morning. It decided, despite instruction, that the Powershell -WhatIf switch was probably ok to ignore. It deleted 2.5TB of test data.

Notice to flat-Earthers in Earth's Eastern Hemisphere witnessing a Total Lunar Eclipse right now Once again, please alert the authorities if your eclipse tonight looks like this:

Farage has gone to the US to tell them Britain is ”awful” - If you don’t like it over here Nigel maybe don’t catch a return flight?

Microwaving coffee to warm it up changes its molecular structure, creating "coffee 2", which scientists do not yet understand

@simonbrown.je I was just watching one of your talks on YT and you mentioned a PDF check list for diagram creation. I couldn’t quite catch where you said it was…? (Also, on c4model.com the Discord link is actually the Patreon link!)

In Southampton, 1 bar of 5G. #ThreeMobile really is the crappiest of networks.

Took me a few attempts, but I did it. I finished the latest (last?) Mission Impossible. Self-Indulgent-Wank/ 10. It's all just Tombo Cruise's movie about how much he can run and how fast. Also, constant AI/ tech non-sense.

Recently tried to change my email address on #Vinted, but apparently the domain for my email provided is blocked on Vinted. My email is part of the alias service provided by the (brilliant) @proton.me. Talked to support - complete refusal to unblock it, citing security concerns. Bonkers!

just lost $100,000 on a polymarket bet that trump would negotiate a peace deal today with putin. i was sure of it. i can't believe i lost all this money. he wrote the art of the deal.

GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio is really lagging behind the VS Code integration. Might move to VS Code for .NET dev at this rate, between the speed and better extensions, VS (full) is beginning to feel like a 🦕.

My wife’s work Microsoft #Surface laptop had a significant moment today. Too hot to touch, had to pop it outside on the off chance exploded…or flew away.

@proton.me hi!! Do you folks have a browser planned at any point? Something that works cross platform, including a bookmark sync?

I’ve been paying for Outlook.com for years - more space, etc. But the spam filter is so bad, I’m finally done. It’s constant. Always reporting the same type, style, or often identical spam. Nothing changes. Moving to Proton Mail next week - all plus addresses will get a real alias.

We are fast approaching a Hunger Games dystopia.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. - Carl Sagan

Microsoft's fight for total Win32 API compatibility is brilliant in Windows. You can pick up an app from 20 years ago, and it's likely to _just work_. But... the path limits drive me crazy. 255, while not a hard and fast rule for _everything_ pretty much is the standard. And it sucks!

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

It'll be ironic if all that time my troll farm spent encouraging people to want the Epstein client list released causes trump to finally arm Ukraine to distract people from his refusal to release the Epstein list.

Been a very very lovely day today.

Paint me like one of your French cats. #catsofbluesky

Azure Pipelines are so antiquated compared to GitHub Actions.

"bring that one backstage"

This is just so we can follow him around with that giant Trump-Baby balloon for all the world to see…you know this right?

Camera doesn’t do it justice, you’ll have to trust me when I say it looks lovely in #Cowes this morning.

Over the past few years I've spent a bit of time in languages other than #csharp, and when I've come back to the #dotnet I've really missed some of the idioms of some of these more modern languages. #Thread

Trying to work with Azure DevOps Pipelines is one of the most obnoxious and frustrating experiences.

The problem isn't that Donald Trump is president. The problem is a country, a political and legal system, a white supremacist and carceral mindset, that twice gave rise to Donald Trump becoming president.

Critical information about how the #Three #Vodafone merger will improve the network/ experience for their customers. #FalmPalm

7 1/2 hrs into the commute home. Only one boat and car ride left.

I’ve grown to really enjoy the trailing comma in TypeScript that I’ve taken to writing them in C# automatically, which is invalid. Gets me everytime.

Is the @microsoft365.microsoft.com spam filter borked in #Outlook today? So many PDFs offering winnings, or deals, or advice.

anyone want help getting started on snapshot testing in .net?

Go to British Airways site in browser.... slow clap, guys... slow cap.

@markdownmonster.west-wind.com Hi! Does MM work with an Astro/ Starlight-based site? I was wondering specifically about links like link generation/ checking. I'm importing a dusty Azure DevOps wiki into a new Starlight-based site and was looking for some good tooling.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was not having an option to change what the mouse wheel does in #PowerPoint. Why would I ever want to change slides - at pace! - while in edit mode? Luckily, #XMouse came to the rescue. Certainly less swearing while at work now.
