With 4 tracks, 170+ guests and speakers, we need some help from the community, so we're looking for a few volunteers on Saturday to help with time management at DDDSW 2025. If you're free and would like to come along, and are able to help out please get in touch! Thank you🙏❤️

@MuseumCommodore A2000, A600, A4000, A4000T and A3000 - in that order! 😎

Which Commodore Amiga did you own?

It may be a sign of times. But with only a few weeks to turn around, if you need a distribute system architect, expert in multiple clouds, manger of large teams and unconventional technologist, I’m available, willing…

@davidfowl Are the health checks (and details) being emitted as telemetry? Linky to source?

Hot off the presses, we added health checks to the aspire dashboard: #dotnet #aspire

@KevlinHenney #NoContext

@QuinnyPig RFB naming scheme: Candle, Lightbulb, Hamster et al #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Elder sysadmins: share your ridiculous server naming schemes. I'll go first: Dune. Mailservers named after guild navigators, all-purpose utility server that changed identities all the time was "Scytale," 40 DHCP servers all named "Duncan Idaho," etc.

Roll on 20th August when 10 delicious pints of Big DIPA should be ready… #HomeBrew #Pinter

@MartinDotNet @ICooper And that’s a problem?! 😎

@rammesses @ICooper We already have 2 day workshops on each topic... so that would be a full week.

Me and @ICooper are planning a joint talk about Messaging, Events and Observability, what would you like to see? The general idea is the "how" but also the "why is it useful" and some of the decisions you'll have with different approaches like links vs parents and clean code

@nick_cloudops @MSFTReactor Sign-up link?

Have a session this evening at the @MSFTReactor London talking about Azure OpenAI and Safety. Should be a good one :) #cloud #azure #cloudfamily #azureopenai #microsoft

@davidfowl Congrats and enjoy it - they grow up too fast! (Also you _might_ be optimistic about the amount of PS( time you’ll get! 🤣)

I’m off for a month, new baby is coming and I will be busy! Try out .NET Aspire while I am away, trust me it’s good 😄. I plan to catch up on PS5 between baby naps, I need to finish FF7 and Spider-Man 2!

Ok @thetrainline - let’s see how good your refund process is for my aborted trip to London today… Frustrating that I couldn’t get a refund at the ticket office for a start.

@RossDScott Even finally got the Bugatti on the wall…

@rammesses It's moving back in right?

Office cleaning day so the #Lego had to be moved out…

@RossDScott Yep - back in nice and neat…

@MartinDotNet @markrendle It also has a pretty good App.

@markrendle Could you go through home assistant? I think that has a rest api

Anyone know if there’s a good Smart Home library for #dotnet?

@madSimonJ @antonystarr The Bad Room…. 🤯

Glad to see #TheBoys is back for Season 4. It's as good, and utterly messed up as ever. There were several moments in the first few episodes that even shocked me! I'm sure @antonystarr is a nice guy in real life, but his deranged performance as Homelander is genuinely scary!

Supporting local business. Because it’s Wednesday.

@thatwouldbealex @amykate I’m up for a swift half before heading home from the office. 😁

@amykate it's the 5pm one

Is anyone planning to watch the England match in London this Thursday, before heading to the MCV/Develop Awards?

@dracan @JS_Reek Not regretted getting a UniFi setup one bit. Load balancing across two broadband providers was a total wil in Lockdown when I had 2 teenagers on school zoom calls to support. (We have a piece of wet string for connectivity here!)

@JS_Reek Not yet, but will do some research tomorrow 🙂

Looking to replace my Sky router with a decent router. Any good recommendations? Want something that can support different prioritied virtual networks; and includes parental controls. A colleague has recommended the TP-Link AXE5400 (I think also called AXE75?). Any thoughts or other suggestions?
