Ready to #LevelUp with the Laravel community? #LaraconAU tickets are almost here 📬 Join over 900 and be notified as soon as they go live laracon.au

Taught the older style 45 minute format of BodyPump 127 tonight. That’s full Lunges and full Shoulder tracks instead of the Bicep/Tricep and Lunge/Shoulder combos. Why: because the music is so much better. But also wasn’t as tough as I was expecting. Sounds like a weight increase is on the cards.

Now… where’s my Batman suit?

The next @statamic.com AU/NZ online meetup is happening tomorrow, Thursday 22nd May, on Teams. Everyone - regardless of geographic location - is welcome! 2:00pm AEST (note earlier than usual time) ICS: mity.digital/statamic-au-...

It’s getting cold outside… frosty… so before it destroyed the crop, harvested my basil, quick freeze, and have frozen fresh basil on hand for that awesome basil-ness. And a batch of Thai basil ready to go too.

I had other work scheduled today. But didn’t feel like it. Instead, made an app that gets pinged when a Freshdesk ticket is assigned an agent, which creates a Task for that person in Asana. Plus the infrastructure to allow for extending things: like two way sync. And deployed it. In half a day.

Well, my new doc is thorough. Blood tests this morning, fasting of course, and now 7 vials later... 😳

Go on... submit a talk... you'll be in such a supportive environment in the lead up to the conference, and you'll have a stellar experience at the event. Do it!

Anyone else noticed a change in flavour of the orange Allen's Snakes Alive? The other colours are unchanged, but the orange is now more "tropical" - with a hit of passionfruit or mango.

Best feature of the (upcoming) new Mity site: the AU/NZ @statamic.com meetup events are built in-site: meaning the ics are generated on-demand. Plus support for online events, and in-person with address details. And was easy, of course, thanks to @spatie.be's icalendar-generator package.

It is great that @statamic.com makes it so easy to make and transform entries to meaningful search indices, meaning that your site's search, with complete knowledge of all of your content, helps your users find what exactly they're looking for. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/meaning...

The Mity site is being refreshed... and most importantly, streamlined with years' of experience of building maintainable sites with @statamic.com to make things easier to manage moving forward. Stay tuned: it's coming soon.

I recently rewatched Ted Lasso and it's as good as ever, but this time around there was an extra feeling. www.michaelscruse.com/blog/revisit...

Anyone I know use YouTrack? Thoughts, verdicts?

How awesome are queues?

I've been invited to my high school for their Careers Breakfast to talk to year 11 and 12 students about my 25 year journey in to computer science, web development and small business ownership. And I get breakfast.

Apparently Blue Pepsi Max is a thing now. Uh, OK.

In the lead up to its sequel in June, starting a new (re-)playthrough of “Death Stranding” (the DC) on PS5 Pro. The head and heart need this.

I bought a box of BBQ Shapes and just won an Xbox Series X digital edition. Like, seriously, for real.

I seem to be collecting mood-reflective shirts. There's "No", there's a mad cat running around screaming obscenities. Very tempted to add this to the collection: www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/AM...

Just a quick little tip to help you enable Live Preview for protected Entries in @statamic.bsky.social when using a custom protection driver. And it's easier than you think. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/how-to-...

Well that's exciting. The new car is on the boat en-route.

We're running it back! Laracon AU returns to Brisbane this year on November 13-14. Another two days of networking, mingling, and learning with the Laravel community in sunny South East Queensland. 👇
