Let the record show I made it all the way to the last non-travel day of vacation before I opened a PR.

Yay! We've been working on this for over a year. Super excited for it to finally be in people's hands!
@david.wengier.com I cannot believe how fast hot reload is with today's v18.3.0 release of Visual Studio 2026. Thank you for all the work you did to make that happen! 🙏

So I guess cohosting is on by default now. I’m expecting a flood of bugs, but this is nice to hear too :)

Forget "delve" or the em-dash, if your project readme contains an ASCII art tree view, I'm going to assume it was at least partially written by an LLM. I don't know what project(s) they were trained on that made them think this is useful, but I don't think I've ever seen it before LLMs got here.

new fun #Zendesk scam happening where someone's feeding my email address into hundreds of zendesk-powered signup sites. getting a dozen of these every minute

Anyone else getting inundated today with "Active your account" emails, for various different services and email addresses, but all coming from Zendesk software?

I always the assume the email addresses are compromised, but guessing someone found a hole in Zendesk too.

I went to the National Communications Museum, showed my kid how to use a rotary phone, and then successfully re-dialed the same number they did, but by hammering on the hang-up button the right number of times. He was pleasantly amazed.

Nice to know that's still possible sometimes.

Time to leave the house and get some supplies for the return of school lunches tomorrow. If I'm not back in an hour, send a spatula.

I’m so smart, I 3D printed a tray for the centre console of my wife’s car.

Melbourne weather had other ideas today.

Ducking down to the shops to get a bottle of milk in Australia right now, mean washing your clothes afterwards.

Watching a 1985 film with an 11yo and their poor little dopamine addicted brain is struggling to make it through the title credits. “Is it always this long?” 😕

Watching the latest season of Jet Lag, took a photo of the TV when Ben showed his hiding spot, sent the photo to copilot, asked where it was, and it looks like it got it right.

Black magic I tell you.

Update: I stopped. I no longer have a blog.

Peaked early.
I started writing a blog post a few days ago. My New Year’s resolution is to stop.
