The last #Lions2025 tourist to leave Australia?! About to fly out of Brisbane after a month of awesome memories with family, and a bit of Rugby and AFL thrown in for good measure! And yes, I did bring other clothes 😜
Back to reality from Monday!

I'm speaking at India Cloud Security Summit 2025 on "50 Ways to Secure your Azure".
The recent wave of cyber attacks mean securing cloud environments should be top of mind for every organisation.

Morning update from the midlands! Too wet to stick. A flurry every few minutes, but nothing like the apocalyptic levels that were promised

It's pissing RAIN. The app has lied, as have all the weather reports.
I work from home so it makes no odds to me, but wife and children are very upset that they're going to work/school on Monday, and the huge supply of bread, pasta and bog roll will go to waste...

After last night's self inflicted "Man vs Food" challenge, today's run was going to be interesting. Never thought I'd be running a sub 30 min 5k.
Maybe I need to go to TGI Fridays for the extra protein more often 😜
Or maybe not... In fairness, conditions were good (no wind, flat route, mild etc).

Safe travels to everyone attending #MSIgnite!
I'm attending virtually this year and its great to see that in the firehose of AI/Copilot, the sessions listed below are dedicated to core cloud infrastructure (#Networking, #Security, #Migrations) and #Azure focused solutions (#AVS , #AKS)

To cheer myself up about not attending #MSIgnite this year, I decided to try to eat a burger the same size as my head.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now my belly really hurts... Tomorrow's run is going to hurt too... 🏃♂️
