Surprisingly foggy this morning. Just the 4 of us (including my dad) on the ride to McLaren Vale. Cool with a touch of misty rain but cleared up a bit for the ride back home. #MudSweatAndGears #Adelaide #MclarenVale

Microsoft Teams iOS app has got itself in a never ending loop with the Microsoft Authenticator app. Quite funny watching the apps bounce repeatedly between each other. Not sure if it's Teams, Authenticator or just Microsoft's identity infrastructure that's causing this bug, but a fix would be good.

PSA: If you have two Azure App Services in the same App Service Plan, and each is connected to a separate VNet, ensure the VNets’ IP ranges don’t overlap, or else you’ll get cross-communication. I spent months debugging Heisenbugs until I figured this out.

I love remote working. A pity the author of the article hasn't cited the actual study they refer to. I'd be interested to read more about the original findings.

Blogged: Migrating my blog to Astro - managing older posts. Next, next, next to skip back through older posts just feels clunky. So I went with a different (and more organised?) approach. david.gardiner.net.au/2025/06/migr... /cc @astro.build

Labels/tags never really worked that well with Jekyll, so the migration to Astro was a chance to implement it properly. david.gardiner.net.au/2025/06/migr... /cc @astro.build

Blogged: Migrating my blog to Astro - Blog posts david.gardiner.net.au/2025/06/migr... There's a bit of gymnastics required to translate from how I organise the blog post .md files compared to how I want the public URLs for those posts to look like. /cc @astro.build

Had a report that my latest blog post disappeared. I think I've found the culprit - last thing I did last night was trigger a manual run of the build pipeline. Looks like I have a bug in conditional logic. One of these build steps should always run!

@mrlacey.bsky.social saw your blog post about signing vs extensions. Is the problem just reverting to unsigned? I ask as I've got a few extensions in the marketplace, but never had code signing cert for them.

Taking a sickie today as I seem to have come down with a cold. As I mentioned on the work Slack, probably best I don't commit any production code today. Another nice thing about working at @sixpivot.bsky.social is no need to get a sick certificate. That trust in your employees matters.

A full on day today celebrating the life of my aunty. My uncle and cousins did a great job at the funeral service. Some moving and very funny stories shared. I can imagine her laughing along. Her laugh was very distinctive, often followed by "Oh David!" 😀❤️It's a great memory of her to treasure.
