This is what days off are for. Great time with my daughter. Spent the day helping her with cycling then some park play followed by lunch at MaccyD's. Afternoon chilling watching stuff in Disney+. Valuable time. #FamilyTime #Fatherhood

Really happy with my first "live" talk on testing. #PeersCon24

I have started my test portfolio (just in case you missed my post on LinkedIn lol). I'll be adding to it periodically as I think of stuff to add. mrproblemsolver.my.canva.site/testportfolio

@rewilde_ Sorry to hear that buddy. Always here if you wanna chat. Look forward to the weekend and family time. I know I am and the last few weeks have been not my best.

@A11y_Ady I'm going through a bad time mentally so I can relate to not sleeping well at times. If you'd like a chat even if it's to let loose DM me. Perhaps we can both find a way through.

This is what today's front cover of The Times should have been. The reality of the sick 'pastime' of fox hunting where foxes are dug out of their hiding spots to be thrown to a baying pack of hounds. RT this everywhere to counter the pro-hunt press. @ChrisGPackham

@rewilde_ Amazing, congratulations!

Describe your 2023 using a status code.

@ministryoftest I was inspired and wanted to write it in the moment.

@testninja77 That was a speedy turn around!

A blog post on talking at TestBash Autumn for the first time testerninja.wordpress.com/2023/11/22/spe… #TestBash Autumn

@Louise_J_Gibbs Thanks @Louise_J_Gibbs !

#Testbash Autumn, Brilliant talk by @testninja77 How collaborating with the wider business helps with testing. Here is the #sketchnote

@FriendlyTester Thanks Richard, it went well I think. Always things I'd like to change. No to keep the fire going and take another step. Appreciate the support.

Hey @testninja77 I hope your talk at #TestBash Autumn went well, couldn't be there unfortunately. You deserved/earnt that shot, and I hope you enjoyed it. Go you.

I feel a blog post coming on about my first MoT Test Bash speaking experience. #TestBash Autumn

After a bit of a crisis of confidence the final, latest and greatest recording and slides have been submitted for TestBash autumn. Got there in the end.

Glad I did the re-recording, came out much better this time.

First effort was solid, but lacking a little punch.

One last go at recording my presentation tomorrow then I can see which to go with.

@FriendlyTester Thanks Richard, appreciated. Just want to make the most of the opportunity.

@testninja77 You got this Al 💪 Don't seek perfection just because it's recorded, folks make mistakes live on stage all the time. My advice is to try and record it in one. Even if unhappy, continue to the end. Will make the next attempt easier

Transitions on deck complete. Now to record the presentation!
