Followed!

I hope it goes better than the LinkedIn group for Microsoft MVPs.

That was our first one. We're going to run them monthly. Look out for another invite late Jan.

And the studio Reno isn't done yet either.

I got an email today awarding our business a multi-million dollar project. I don't know whether to start recruiting 12 new team members tomorrow or just spend the rest of the year celebrating.

I'll have to dig into this for the insurance claims apps we're building.

Who could have guessed it would be so?

Was the TouchPad the one that HP released just after they bought Palm? Wasn't it originally running Palm's webOS?

It wasn't a hiatus, just a break! Just posted a new Amazing Apps episode asking:

"Are Scrum Masters Overrated?".

Based on an experiment in one of Superware's teams and an article by Maarten Dalmijn. Seems some scrum masters have pitch forks! 😡

Are Scrum Masters Overrated?

#157. Rethink the role of the scrum master. Two recent events—a thought-provoking article by agile coach Maarten Dalmijn and a leave of absence by Matthew, a belove…

I'm in. It'll be Saturday by the time it reaches Australia. Patiently waiting.

Happy days. I found one of the four pairs of ear buds I've lost in the past three months. My Tozo T6s. Great for audiobook listening as I fall asleep. Sweet dreams

@jonasrapp.bsky.social owns date formatting; at least in my mind. I'd love to see him take on the Marshall Islanders and drag them into modernity.

Getting ready to launch...
1. A new podcast
2. A new YouTube channel
3. A new membership community
4. A two-day live event in another country

So not exactly relaxing into 2025 the way I had imagined.

I added my RSS feed to YouTube as a podcast but at the same time was uploading video versions of the same episodes.

I've been putting it off for a while but trying to unscramble my channel this evening.

Decluttering feels good. Next step: some new videos!

My dad is visiting Australia and needed a USB-C data cable to hook his phone up to the hire car's Android Auto head unit.

Love it when my BIG DRAWER of RANDOM CABLES can save the day.

Hmmm, I wonder if his hire car has a dot matrix printer and needs a serial cable...

What a treasure to spend time with my dad on his first visit to Australia. Thanks for everything, Bert!

Sounds like you have a little flexibility in your schedule after all. I was worried what happens when the immovable object (your guest's schedule) meets the unstoppable force (your schedule).

Neil Benson (Superware | Customery) @neilabenson.bsky.social · Nov 20

What do you do when a guest you really want to interview for your podcast has the same principle but only takes meetings on Tuesdays?

Quick trip to Sydney for the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia conference. Honestly, more exciting than it sounds! Back in Brislympics tonight.

I can't remember the last TP song Kevin rated a 7 or less. He loves everything!

I've heard that I can use my domain name as a Bkuesky username. Coolio. But should I create Bkuesky accounts for all of my 743 domain names? That's a lot of broken dreams to be reminded of!

5pm Friday. I'm done for the week.

Next up: ASFA Conference. Dad arrives in Australia for first time ever.
