So yesterday was a huge milestone for me. 10 years to the day I started #Parkour in Nottingham. It's been an incredible decade of physical, mental and social development but above all else a ton of fun ;)
Here are the highlights from all 10 years.

@moonpo @kroche @cf_camp Family!

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

End of the second night of @cf_camp and just like last night only later with more legends!
The classic question of whether to call it quits at 1am or walk to another hotel to continue the madness... Sure you can.guess the answer to that 🤣.

The end of yet another incredible @cf_camp con in Munich. Really cant beat the atmosphere, hospitality, great speakers + genuine fun. Real family feel. Expertly run by @madmike_de.
Michael has announced the conference WILL be back next year!

Yup this is how it often ends on the first night at @cf_camp . Straight off the plane and coersed by this lot of micreaents to walk to a different hotel (as the conference hotel shut) to get more drinks!
Always worth it though to spend some time with the legend's. #cfcamp2026

Two years since last went but excited heading back to Munich for @cf_camp. Just what I need to boost me now that Im out of work. Catch up with legends Ive been sharing this experience with for many years. Super well run - German hospitality, warmth + great speakers. #cfcamp2026

@AravSrinivas Huge Perplexity fan so would love to test the Windows build if there is any chance of an invite. Exciting times!

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@northernvice @Hyperoptic Awesome for WFH isn't it. Just perfect experience for anything we need to do. I've been doing remote web development using them for 10 years+ now. Had it when renting then looked to buy a flat. Amazingly found one with HO installed so it was an immediate buy for me ;)

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@shirubusutori @Hyperoptic Aha! Good to see an update from them on it. Hopefully a quick fix.

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@therealsueb @Hyperoptic Try changing your DNS servers to Googles - 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4. I think their DNS servers might have issues as this has fixed it for me.

The lushious @Lagaffe in his fabulous element. Helping me celebrate my new job with @pixl8. #cfcamp #cfcamp2024

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

It's like it's Scotch of the Rocks all over again. Official #cfcamp Last Men Standing to kick off the epic 2024 conference. Great to catch up with some legends tonight #sotr

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@recantha About to take off on a similar flight right now! Just hope there isn't any more chanting like in departures!

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

That time again - off to Munich for the awesome cfcamp web development conference. I'm on official camera duties again and looking forward to capturing the fun. Plane is full of Scottish football fans right now which is creating quite the atmosphere 😂.

@alexkoh @xebu @awol_vision What's great about this setup is the screen is rise up so you just position it in front then activate it when it's movie time (or keep up at all times). Not as integrated but works well. We still use the 65" (well the wife does ;) ).

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@xebu @alexkoh After moving from a 65" QLED to a 120" ALR screen with UST laser projector (LTV-3500) from @awol_vision I can't recommend it enough! With recent Dolby Vision update it's even more incredible and the 3D is mind blowing. Totally game changing! TV replacement really.

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@mrjonfinger @HeyGen_Official Absolutely love this! Imagine what it could do for foreign movie and tv show translations. Would be wild to the hear the original actors speak the lines in other languages. Game changing...

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

@MaheshaRice @HyperopticCS Can you create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and use the mobile connection? I'm having to do that to work myself.

[James Allen @CFJamesAllen]

I think this beautifully sums up 2 amazing days of German hospitality, dev geekry + wonderful socialising. 4 years has been far too long but feels like no time has passed. A huge thanks to @madmike_de for keeping it alive. @cf_camp is well and truly back!!! Bring on 2024!
