The agenda is up and online, and most excellent sessionize.com/api/v2/kspp9...

Hope I'll see you in Birmingham on 30th November! #UKOUG25

I'm on the agenda for the #ukoug conference 2025.
9:00 a.m. on Monday morning (I tell myself that that's to encourage people to be on-site early enough to attend the opening keynote afterwards)

Only a couple of weeks to go until the #HrOUG2025 conference in Rovinj, Croatia.

I am so looking forward to celebrating the 30th anniversary of this wonderful conference; full of fun and full of learning in an amazing location.

Looking forward to be at #HrOUG2025 🤩
A great conference, with excellent venue, content, speakers and attendees!
See all the details here: 2025.hroug.hr/eng
Will this be playing in London (or near it) ?
I think it reflects insularity - the more "remote" your demographic, the more you will resist intrusion.
is that how percentages work? 🤔

I still see it getting set. All the time 😭
Saw one 2 weeks ago.
Saw one 2 months ago.

Fortunately, I told them they couldn’t come in with trainers on, and it got unset 😁 Now behave yourselves! 😎
I first assumed they were mooncakes, given the time of year, but they don’t look like mooncakes.

If they are, you can keep them, otherwise send cake. Unless it’s some Swedish delicacy made of herring or something.
Has either you or @monikalewandowska.bsky.social spoken to @thatjeffsmith.com about this so he can change it?

Just saw Mario turned 40 this week and so, once again, I present to you: the first level of Super Mario but all the sound effects are farts.
I don't mind "Hi", as long as it's immediately follow by the thing you want. Immediately. Not after a short wait. That's the important bit. The "Hi, can you..." circumstance is then polite.

Just "Hi" gets no response. At all. Tell me what you want, and I'll respond.

Reform is essentially a really drunk Tory party.

Another Tory has joined Reform you say? Why it would almost appear as of Reform were not an insurgent force of outsiders but … dare I say… the same old shit in a different package… by which I mean unutterable Tory wankers.
