Could this be the highest altitude #Umbraco upgrade ever…?! Completing a v8->v13->v16 upgrade AND deploying to Umbraco Cloud at 40,000 ft on my way to London 🚀

Impressively I’m remoting into my machine back home in Sydney and you wouldn’t even know, thanks to Starlink WiFi 🤯
I’m up next @dddperth.bsky.social in room 2, speaking about leading successful remote teams!
A beautiful morning @dddperth.bsky.social covering usability testing, growth beyond senior, and leading gen-z! What a venue, what an event! 😄
Wicked view landing into Perth this evening ahead of @dddperth.bsky.social tomorrow!
Wow! The iOS 26 Apple Music "DJ Mode" is wicked!
That’s a wrap on #NDCCopenhagen 2025! I’m thrilled with the feedback on my sessions, especially my brand new .NET MCP talk
🤩

Thanks @ndcconferences.com for the laughs and wonderful hospitality as always!
Yup! Generally within a month or so of the event.
I’m up next in room 3 @ndcconferences.com Copenhagen 🇩🇰, with my 2nd talk of the event! Come and learn all about integrating MCP into your .NET app (safely) #NDCopenhagen

On the very first flight into Heathrow this morning, met with some spectacular views!
After the wettest August in 100 years, Sydney is finally returning to normal! ☀️

The (not quite new) GOV.UK brand
A little behind the scenes from a gear in the machine.

I hate this! Absolutely not a substitute for a well written commit message that details the change and reason. It's completely useless to anyone that doesn't have access to that ticketing system, or doesn't even know what #12345 means...
I am thrilled to have been awarded the Microsoft #MVPAward for the 6th time, renewed again in Developer Technologies (.NET and Web Development)! 🍾 🎉 🥳

A few weeks back I was also renewed as an #Umbraco MVP for the 8th time.

Very grateful for the opportunities and the community! ❤️
Half way there! Stuffed my face with mezze and pasta in the lounge, and consumed copious amounts of the best orange juice I’ve ever tasted!
Starting my long trek back to Sydney after a month in Europe!
