Nice pre archery walk in the woods at Gravelly Hollow.

Starting to be able to get to the archery field in light after work, winter is disappearing!!!

Don’t do Spotify so no end of year round up for me. But I do have everything in at ‘last.fm’ - www.last.fm/user/eeymsmo so can make my own Artists, Album and tracks collages of what i listened to this year.

Off to a Rock Against Racism gig so dug out my old ‘Sisters gegen Nazis’ shirt Couldn’t remember how old it was, so googled it. Now I know that it’s probably the most expensive bit of clothing I own 😳

Tango & Fash.

Favourite swim spot frozen over? That’s not going to stop the fun

Looks like this place is getting popular these days.

Gah, I was right to be suspicious when there wasn’t any monitoring alerts this morning. Now to check the estate manually and then fix the monitoring kit.

An hour of DNS and firewall ‘fun’ to start the morning off. I love it when the ‘professionals’ chuck it over the fence and run away.

So far today this modern ‘DBA’ has spent most of his time modifying network peerings, address spaces and Express Route.

This morning’s pot of coffee lasted less than 75 minutes. It’s one of *those* days then

Great first day for #datarelay_uk 2023. Great venue, great sessions and great to catch up with loads of people. I also bought a ‘new’ slide rule :) Many thanks to the lovely people at the National Museum of Computing. If you’ve not been, you should

@mrpaulandrew.bsky.social kicking off #datarelay with the keynote.

#datarelay setup at @tnmoc is taking a while as I keep getting distracted by displays of calculators and slide rules

On the move to Bletchley to join up with the #datarelay crew for this years tour. First train of 4 is running late, this could be a long journey

Yay!! Restarting the #EastMidlandsData MeetUp in Nottingham with the excellent @robsewell.bsky.social eastmidlandsdata.com

Ready to go at East Midlands User Group. The venue is unique

And #eastmidlandsdata rises back from the ashes with @robsewell.bsky.social talking about go-sqlcmd (github.com/microsoft/go...)

Thanks to the broadband installer who didn't use the correct cable I've had a fun afternoon running around after support. Finally have the bandwidth I'm paying for.

When someone comes up with a lovely azure VM naming convention that ignores that they all need to be AD joined 🤦

ah, a new social media platform with slightly less arse management. Now to work out how this works
