Listener, learner, reader & writer; tech raconteur: founder of the Software Inklings & Co-founder of the Eastbourne Literary Festival
A literary festival and #Eastbourne go together like tea and a great book (on the craft of writing in this case by the awesome Ursula K. Le Guin, “Steering the Craft” — highly recommended!).

Evolving DevOps to Platform as a Product is an excellent journey. It’s time to look back and celebrate and look forward and salivate!

P.S. Thank you for my t-shirt choice today @gotocon.com ❤️

Three years ago I got a spot of bad news. Cancer.

Several months of amazing and gruelling exploration and then treatment, and I celebrate every August my cancer free.

For now, but then for now is all we ever get.

Each year I celebrate in late November and early December that strange gift ❤️

The view may be incredible at the end, but the moments on the way with the people are what you’ll remember with happy tears in your eyes.

A home is more than just a building because of the memories, the moments, it hosts.

Many moments coming this season to be lit by this beauty ❤️
