The secret project I have been working on at AWS has just now been announced: Amazon Workspaces Thin Client. A low cost device (~$200 usd) that enables Virtual Desktop Streaming products, and can be your daily work device.

@dimitarmilo Other than going to the Kangaroo and Kiwi pub, this looks to be it. Still paying my docker membership after 6 years overseas.

[Greg James @GregAlexJames]

@dimitarmilo @SteveGodbold +1 . The market for Software Engineers in USA is nuts compared to Australia (pay 2 - 3 times larger).

I have wanted to return to Australia, but the opportunity here is just too good.

@robdmoore @acloudguru One of the better database comparisons I have seen, Awesome!

[Jimmy Bogard is on Bluesky FYI @jbogard]

reminder: amazon's uptime is still several 9's better than whatever you built

@mattkocaj @long_cormac @JakeGinnivan @Antmeehan It is not coming to the end. It will continue to get worse before it gets better.

Currently on call while at a baseball game. What can go wrong :-)

Week status: Tearing out hair over an inherited build/deploy system. An install of #OctopusDeploy at another workplace is coming

@ashkas @nikkumang it is a case now of knowing each tools differences and selecting the right one. All the above tools create awesome apps

[Greg James @GregAlexJames]

@dennisroche I wish. Actually setting timezones, doing nothing with the time itself

[Greg James @GregAlexJames]

Current Status: Cursing the fact that windows manages and names timezones differently to online standard (that mac/linux use)

@shiftkey look after yourself, and continue to be awesome!

[Greg James @GregAlexJames]

@shiftkey It is great to hear you are back on track. When you are at the point of feeling nothing (good or bad), you need a stop immediately

[Greg James @GregAlexJames]

Today marks the end of an era, finishing my last day with Readify (for now). Soo many awesome memories. Amazon and Seattle here we come.
