Hey #umbraco devs. Would anyone like to help me get this package on to U17. I started on U14 but hit a blocker due to lack of knowledge with Image Processor.

Would love to collab with anyone interested.

What should be the next patch for the bag?

Current thoughts: #Umbraco MVP, #codegarden, .net logo of some sort or #h5yr

The Umbraco spark patch needs reapplying. 🙂

After my talk at #Umbraco in the City, I've been playing around more with the Management API, half with the thought of submitting a longer talk to other events but also I wanted to see what is possible.
Now I show you how you can do Change Audits.

Wanting a kick start on using the #Umbraco Management API and typescript? I'm sharing my demo project from my talk at Umbraco in the Park. 🐝

Already looking at ways to change/grow my talk for other events. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

🧀 Not everything is going according to plan.

The cheese has molded.

And Silvano is still waiting at the byte5 meetup in Frankfurt.

🐇 Will the Rabbit find a new cheese in time?

(Watch Episode 2. Start with Episode 1 if needed. Final episode coming soon.)

Updated my phone settings to block me from Instagram after 30min of daily use, thought I'd struggle over the weekend but it made me more mindful. I post then log out rather than doom scrolling. Also uninstalled Facebook.

Going to add other apps to the time limit next week. Small steps.
