Woop woop, got me a ticket for #umbraco in the city, looking forward to seeing loads of my Umbraco pals. Working from home is great, but I do miss seeing actual people occasionally!

@j_breuer Happy birthday dude 😃

@carlcod_es Bin fire. Since the takeover, every follow I’ve got has been bots, and the quality of the adverts is somewhat dubious. Plus most of the suggested posts are either fashy, porny, or racist 😂 still the odd account posting good stuff but it’s VERY quiet in here compared to before

🍿 Codegarden Season 20 is on YouTube! From inspiring keynotes to jaw-dropping demos - every talk is ready to watch 🎥 Watch. Re-watch. Binge like it’s your favorite series.

@readingdancer Happy birthday! Bit longer for me yet, gives me time to try and bag a 100 mile run before I’m 50 😂

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@simonech @umbraco Phew! Do we know the venue yet?

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@AaronSadlerUK @umbraco Me too! I’m very proud to be a returning MVP even if I couldn’t make it to Codegarden this year!

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@dillorscroft @The_DarkGhost @umbraco Lack of x86 support on apple silicon is a bit of a deal killer for anyone that has to work on older sites. It’s why I’m still on an Intel iMac at home.

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

Safe travels to all my #umbraco pals at the MVP summit and #codegarden this week! Hope you all have a blast 😃 had hoped to FINALLY make it back this year, but stuff got int the way unfortunately!

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@callumbwhyte @GitKraken Another vote for git extensions here. It’s no frills but very powerful and does pretty much everything I need!

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@BreezeRachel @GarminUK I’ve got the 830, and yeah, compared to say the sports watches, which have pretty intuitive UX, the Edge UI sucks balls. I’ve not used mine for quite a while, but if you’ve got any questions I can see if I can remember how it all works 😂

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

@BreezeRachel @GarminUK What did you get? The one thing that’s shocking with the Garmin cycle computers is that for a company that builds navigation devices, the route finding is shockingly poor. Don’t rely on it EVER. Unless you want to go in insane detours.

@troyhunt @jonskeet I’ve seen this one about a dozen times on my timeline in the last week or so, almost always a friend of a friend who’s been hacked and my friend is tagged. It provokes a very visceral reaction, as you’re like “OMG has something happened to XXX”.

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

T minus two weeks until Leeds marathon, then it’s GOBYU the week after. Once that’s out of the way, I’ve got another three months to get myself ready to attempt to run from Liverpool to Leeds. If I couldn’t make 111 miles last year in one go, 130 should doable right? 😂

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

And a very good job of hosting they did too! Had a cracking time 😃

[pixelbuilders @pixelbuilders]

We’re still buzzing from hosting our first #UmbracoLeedsMeetup 🙌

Great conversations, awesome community vibes — and plenty of pizza 🍕

Thanks to everyone who came, and to Andy Boot and Matt Swain for their brilliant talks 💬👏

#UmbracoLeeds #UmbracoMeetup #TechCommunity

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

Great evening at @umbLeeds kindly hosted by @pixelbuilders tonight! Two excellent talks, and there was even cake 😃

[Tim Payne @attack_monkey]

I appreciate this site is mostly bereft of the tech folks I joined it for now, but I find myself with a couple of days availability a week for at least the next month or so. If you need an experienced Umbraco dev for projects, give me a shout 😃

[Umbraco HQ @umbraco]
