It’s 4:26am. And I’m awake.

Did some things over the past few weeks! Was a fun ride!

My handful of fucks

I love that @nathenharvey.bsky.social is making sure we all have enough fucks to give

Believe it or not, “minor delays due to train cancellations” is not a useful status. Tell me why they’re cancelled!

This week I’m at QCon learning things instead of speaking about things! If you’re here, say hi!

After a small social media sabbatical, I’m back!

Can someone explain to me why the Kansas City Chiefs can’t pay to renovate their own stadium?

*Not actually looking for an explanation. I know why and it’s ridiculous.

Convinced the stretch on the Elizabeth line between Ealing Broadway and Paddington is actually purgatory. How does it take so long?

Please stop calling technology work “sexy” or “unsexy”.

It’s gross.

Such a rad event! Tech Show London is quickly becoming my favorite event of the year. Inclusive, engaging, and incredibly rewarding.

Hi! They aren’t posted on the Tech Show site, but I’m happy to send over a PDF! I will see if I can attach here in a private message

Only a couple weeks until I’m in London (my favourite city!) for DevOpsLive! Cannot wait!

Phones now have 48+ megapixel cameras.

I hate that everyone has decided that means they should use grainy and fuzzy filters on their pictures and videos for that “vintage” aesthetic.

Seems suspicious. But either way, if I’m not following those accounts, and if I’m not consuming other Trump/Vance content - I most definitely don’t want it pushed to the top of my feed constantly. And I’m in IRELAND. Even more reason to not push to me.

On inauguration day, I got an update on Instagram that triggered a “pay €7.99 for us to not use your data for sponsored content or continue using for free and we’ll use your data” popup. Ever since, the TOP POST on my feed when I open the app is POTUS or VP. I unfollowed before the inauguration 😬

Very excited to share I will once again be participating in Tech Show London as part of DevOpsLive! This year I am excited to be a part of the Building Strong Foundations panel discussing DevOps culture.

Can’t wait to see everyone on the 12th and 13th of March, 2025!

Did it! Had a great keynote and subsequent session. Overall DevOpsCon Munich has been great so far. Definitely can’t wait til the next one.

DevOpsCon Munich is today!!

T-Minus a few minutes until kickoff.

Let the sharing and learning commence!

The Hilton’s keep their millions in part by skimping on the beds in their hotels without a doubt. Just looked at why our bed felt like laying on a board and it’s literally a boxspring with a thin fiber-fill topper. 🤣

Landed in Munich for DevOpsCon!

Just booked our tickets to see Arsenal Women take on Tottenham in February! Excited for the match and to spend some time back in London. Can’t wait!

So does this mean you _had_ a single fuck, but no longer do?

Don’t be afraid to take some time for yourself these next few days. It’s okay to not be okay.

Take a step back.
Breath.

Just 1 month until I speak at DevOpsCon Munich! I’ll be doing a session and a keynote on Tuesday December 3rd. Hope to see some familiar faces there!

Several new tattoos today!

Godddd somehow the recesses of my mind forgot he existed

Election season is hard.
I know I’m privileged that it feels less hard (but still terrifying) this year after moving abroad.
Sending ❤️ to my US friends and hope you’re faring well!

I need this motivation!!
