When is the end of the world scheduled, in AEST?
I have back to back meetings.

We can send images from the far side of the moon, but my wi-fi still makes Netflix buffer.

my parents on the moon launch

mom: why are they going to the moon

dad: same reason we go to your brother in Australia- some people like going very far away to a place where you die if you go outside

Dear astronauts, if you liked losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes, I can highly recommend a 13hr BNE-LAX flight with no Wi-Fi.

I've just judged a Semifinals round for Microsoft's Imagine Cup. I love seeing ideas of how to use our technology to fix real problems or improve people's lives.

This feels like a chance for Mission Control to prank them. "Wow, welcome back Artemis, you've been gone so long. But why do your instruments still read 2026?"

6 7 !!

I would devour that, spread on a piece of hot toast.

I would like to apply to be an astronaut.

My qualifications are I can reboot the computers and fix Outlook.

Also I'm LOVING desktop shortcut troubleshooting and cable tidying IN SPACE.

Watching the Artemis II feed and my new fav phrase is "opportunistic science."

I wanna do opportunistic science!

Oh yum. I haven't used our sous vide in ages.

Public holiday. Family are coming over for dinner. 4kg of pork butt.

NASA's Artemis II Live Mission Coverage (Official Broadcast) YouTube video by NASA

I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

Beyond cool: the #ByteCodeAlliance #webassembly project #wasmtime is in space!! www.federation-openspacemakers.com/en/participa... is the fastest moving webassembly yet. :-) I hope to see the code soon!

So I get half the points.

@regularitguy.com has unlimited patience and support for good people, and we're lucky to be counted among them.

I haven't been back to Wainui in so long. Is it still largely undiscovered or did it get popular?

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

It's 2026 and the most cost effective way for me to buy a printer with ADF, auto duplex and refillable tanks also comes with a fax.

@orinthomas.com sounds like MVPs should be able to do this (PR), but probably limitations on our repo?

Is context engineering the new RAG? YouTube video by Microsoft Azure

I chatted with my Microsoft colleagues from Foundry IQ in this new podcast:
"Is context engineering the new RAG?"

It's a long weekend in Australia for Easter so my brain is TORN between doing nothing and cleaning my house from top to bottom AND doing all the gardening.
I need two long weekends.

*pause for effect* .... THE MOON

I don’t think I realized I had any latent Challenger trauma until right about now

My kid’s like “neat!” and I’m like 🫣

Tonight, the Australia Prime Minister will address the country with a simultaneous broadcast across television and radio networks, to address the growing fuel crisis.

The don't sell this one anymore. Not a surprise. I'd buy the new one but I'm scared I'll still have the same problem. The top button was the Prompter so it feels like a Control Center issue. It's just so unreliable.

Get a stream deck, they said.

My brain wants to go to the gym and my jet lagged body is heck no we are TIRED
