Emailing about documentation at 10pm on a Friday. Rock n roll.

If your monitoring says “all good” but your users say “it’s slow,” this one’s for you. Learn why IPM is the API monitoring layer you probably ignore.

First experience with #abusiveAI. Calling out aimco.agency for this bullshit. To be clear, this is HUMAN fault, human disrespect, human ignorance. Read on for details. 1/6

AI is everywhere, including at Qlik #Connect2025. But, as @alyx.diginomica.com discovered in Orlando last week, Catalyst Cloud is showing that empathy and UX design may be just as critical to analytics success. bit.ly/45jsSLT

No, I didn't #NotAllWomen...

Talking about Women in Tech panels this morning, and why I feel as though women in sales/business support roles isn't quite the outcome that every woman in tech is looking for.

Andor is about how a blogger, who is dedicated to open-source software and Right to Repair, saves the galaxy.

Last year, Qlik promised trusted, scalable AI. This year, it says it’s made it real. So - has it? @alyx.diginomica.com is in Orlando for us, to find out: bit.ly/4kfXgLj #QlikConnect

This is bleak reading

"I don't know" still not found. Watched students trip up with this in coding, packet tracking, maths - and still accept the answers without question. youtu.be/gTI5MZarwPk?...

My contribution to a phone call today: "The source code is fucked". Yes, it's Friday.

"Fast & Furious: Cloud Drift", a realtime documentary on debugging an outage, coming this fall to no theaters anywhere

As ServiceNow says it sees tariffs as an opportunity, not a threat, Derek du Preez analyzes the latest Q1 numbers. Earnings have exceeded expectations, and Federal business has grown 30%. Find out what else caught his eye: bit.ly/4iAJmT0

Designed a project for a multi-site three-tier network topology, with site surveys, full technical spec, cabling and a report explaining the rationale and security improvements. Up next - implementation. I may be suffering from Packet Tracer fatigue. #StudentProject

Talking yesterday about different ways to protect a website from form spamming, the module Anti-bot came up. Never one to miss an opportunity, I asked "like the anti-Christ?" Not my greatest cyber ops joke.

There were a lot of conversations at #AtlassianTeam25 about helping users to change how they work. I've written about a chat I had with Chris Moojen about Atlassian's own experience of making big organizational change. Is it dog-fooding? There's a lot to unpack. diginomica.com/atlassian-te...

This use case was told so transparently. Lots to learn from, and with some stressful timescales for iteration stages.

Let's go Ducks! Fab experience, thanks to the @atlassian.bsky.social team. Time to go warm up! #AtlassianTeam25

Before the keynotes began at #AtlassianTeam25, diginomica talked to Valiantys about how it works with @atlassian.bsky.social customers to help them modernize, from platform to process. @alyx.diginomica.com was at the pre-event sit down for us: bit.ly/3YoIEAK

Off to an ice hockey game tonight, first one in about 30 years. Guessing the fundamentals haven't changed dramatically in that time?

Over the next few weeks, we’re breaking down the most critical sections of our 2024 Year in Review. This week, we examine the most frequently targeted vulnerabilities—particularly those affecting network infrastructure. blog.talosintelligence.com/year-in-revi...

Off to California for #AtlassianTeam25. I'm still impressed that Confluence sponsored the Severance podcast. Clever advertising and who hasn't wanted to switch their work brain off every once in a while?

The research findings are pointing to what staff are crying out for – the 'mundane' things that can so easily be overlooked in the face of shiny new technology and looming deadlines. Documentation, standardised processes and regular reviews/updates are a must-have for teamworking. #AtlassianTeam25

Beautiful talk by Rob Koch about using kubeflow and AI to build a system for understanding sign language. Normalise platforming talks given in sign language. Well played @cncf.io. that was extremely well done.

Ever wonder why so many #Linux distributions are based on Ubuntu? @jlwallen.bsky.social takes a deep dive into Debian, the unsung hero powering the Linux ecosystem.

What a refreshing, delightful read. An unexpected mix of culture, tech, and transformation All the flowers to this one

Here are the slides and original script for "Passion Plays", my #MonkiGras 2025 talk on wine, open source, and sustaining software projects. numergent.com/2025-03/Pass...

For those looking for my slides from MonkiGras 2025 last week you can find them here in a google drive. They will stay there, viewable until approx September 2025 or around the end of the year. bit.ly/erioldoesdes...

My designs get lots of publicity in magazines and online and it looks like I’m doing really well. The reality is that it’s bloody hard work being self employed and it’s not getting any easier. Have a look at what I do and repost. Thanks. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Monday morning and I'm missing the #monkigras feeling of anticipating craft beer and a hot lunch.

“When you don’t have a code of conduct it signals that your space is not safe.” @kat.lol delivering truth at #MonkiGras

This talk ended up being about * Labour organising * Software Freedom * Licensing * Venture captial's relationship to FOSS * Corporate organising And maybe it was recorded? Maybe? Stay tuned #monkigras

As #monkigras draws to a close, I did my best to gather all the speakers @monkchips.com invited to speak as a BlueSky List: bsky.app/profile/did:... Find the folks you want to follow and keep up with!
