The emotional support I get from this dog while constructing new furniture...

I think this is progress? Or something? It started so neat. Why do we have so many?

I may have bought myself a new Secretlab desk as a forcing function to rearrange and clean out my study.

🎉 Big news over the weekend for Agones! The application for Agones to join @cncf.io at the Sandbox level is now live! Now we wait for the CNCF TOC to review and (hopefully 🤞🏻) approve! 🙏🏻 Huge thanks to literally everyone who ever contributed to this project!

Bought new Nest Wifi pro because the WiFi in the house was being weird and spotty for multiple days. WiFi is now back to normal, because of course it is.

Is it "Devreller" or "Devreler" ? 🤔

Sometimes I wonder if my career in developer relations, is just me preemptively failing at being an improv comic 😆

After a decade in the games industry, I'm finally on my way to Tokyo Game Show next week for the first time ever 🛫🗼 Who else will I be seeing there? What should I know before I go?

This giant head is literally the largest reason I don't contribute more to #opensource software in the evening. So if you are waiting on a review from me on Agones particularly, just know that I may have lost my lap and access to a laptop to a snoring boerboel.

I think I'm trapped in Gamescom. Is the game trying to leave? I've left before. I think? Maybe I never left

It's day 214 at Gamescom. You've become fused to a game controller. Your physical presence is in quantum singularity between the Radisson and the Business Cafe inside the convention centre. All you can say now is "Trade pass?" as you pass through turnstiles for eternity.

I'm still pottering on Agones while lying in bed at night watching TV 😆. In the most recent release, I implemented the new Kubernetes sidecar containers pattern into Agones. It makes health checking ✨so much✨ easier and simpler. agones.dev/site/blog...

Stupid cold. Taking a sick day. Bored already. So annoying.

No, but seriously, let's find this thing.

In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack. I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

Finally got my new KVM installed. No more moving a cable between computers for the third monitor.

Started playing Wildermyth again last night, knowing full well I'm going to end up crying when my characters inevitably get old and die.
