I’m privileged to be able to travel a fair amount for work. I still weirdly enjoy airports and seeing so many people connect with loved ones, be excited about a destination, or hopeful for a change in their future! The kid currently making faces at me is also pretty entertaining 😂
This is a PSA for folks using old, maintained container images, even though we are targeting the ones we host, this is a good reminder for y’all to check yours! #k8s #java
Secure Your Java Workloads! 🚀 Outdated container images are a risk. Starting June 30, 2025, Microsoft will remove old Azul Zulu for Azure images from MCR. Transition now to the latest, secure Java container images. Learn more: devblogs.microsoft.com/java/deletio...
First major #cat injury - Mando (short for #Mandalorian) has a broken tail, so off to the vet get goes! We like to think it was earned battling the empire this morning…
Always cool to see a book you’re involved with get translated to non English languages! Points goes to folks who can pick which language without using #Ai 😉
Today I ripped out a bunch of weeds in the garden and cut down an invasive species. If this was #linkedin I’d make some analogy to cleaning up #technicaldebt but luckily this isn’t LinkedIn
So what’s the protocol now - post the same post here and on #Mastodon or does that annoy y’all who are on both?
Kiddo is at his first school camp - he’s having a blast and my wife and I have gotten more done around the house in one day than we have in weeks! I never internalised how interrupt driven a typical family day is. Good parallel for having those meeting free days at work so folks can get stuff done!

Will be scoring at my son’s #cricket game tomorrow. Two observations - kids all geared up at age 9 is one of those strange “oh they’re growing up!” moments as parent. The other is that I’m glad I have a Comp Sci degree behind me coz scoring this game is archaic as heck 😂
Was reviewing Porter’s Five forces again with @brunoborges.bsky.social tonight - great trip down memory lane when we applied this to jClarity during its life before acquisition. Recommend using models like this to help reduce uncertainty when you’re in a new domain. Like I was as a first time CEO 🙂
Hey all, on my profile it says my handle is invalid, but I can’t see a a way to edit on my mobile app (iOS) - any ideas before I ask #chatgpt? 😃
Had a #fail in setting up folks for success presenting to a very senior leaders. When reviewing the material, I didn’t see enough concrete conclusions or asks but I hesitated and didn’t postpone it. The presenters did great! But the reaction was muted at best. Hope folks can learn from my mistake 🙂
Hey #java people - #microsoft once more will be hosting #jdconf in April 9-10, 2025! If you’re interesting in presenting on your experiences with #ai, #security and #cloud then please do send them through to jdconf.com!
