Huge thank you to everyone who came out to see my session at @dddsouthwest.com today! Genuinely had a great time, and loved getting all the questions during the session.

Her version of Chattermax was the star of the show! 😂

I think I must be in line for some extra Daddy points today! Little Miss 8 wanted to make a @bluey.site inspired video as part of her Mothers Day gift. So out came the green screen, OBS, and her teddies! 1, 2, 3, Action!
Photo of my youngest daughter sitting in front of a green screen with her teddies. She is covered in another sheet of green fabric, ready to record a Bluey inspired video as part of her Mothers Day gift. There is a small table in front of it all with a camera sitting on it. There is another table with an Amazon box whether a teddy is ready to start being part of the show.

Really happy with the latest release of #GitReleaseManager, version 0.19.0. It includes the ability to include info about the contributors to a release, including who created the issues, and who solved them via a Pull Request. See link for example, or check image below: github.com/GitTools/Git...
Screenshot of a GitHub release that uses the new functionality in GitReleaseManager to include contributor information. Two sections are highlighted by red boxes. The first shows information about the issue that was created, along with the title and who created the issue, and then information about who solved it in which pull request. The second box shows all the avatars of the people that contributed to the release.

One of the improvements, which didn’t require the multimeter, was mounting my Ubiquiti U6-IW. Really happy with how it ended up.

Been and enjoyable, while frustrating day! Trying to make some small improvements in the office, and had to dig out my old multimeter! Been a lifetime since I have had to use one of these!

Little Miss 7 is a big fan of @bluey.site, and she is very excited about the new season coming out.

So that I don't miss it, I have signed up to the official Bluey Newsletter :-)
