Hey #Umbraco community. If you are looking to hire a developer for a full time role, I'm available. Feel free to drop me a DM, even if you just want a chat. Please share with anyone you know 👍

Trying to work around this change to Chromium's SVG API was not how I had hoped to be spending my Thurs/Fri this week. In-browser SVG manipulation is certainly not for the feint-hearted. chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/s...

🚨 Hey Umbraco contributors! If you're a previous contributor to CMS first off: awesome job! 💡 You will need to switch to the `main` branch now instead of `contrib` (which has now been deleted). ➡️ From now on `main` is the default branch for both HQ and for external contributors! This should […]

Do, or do not. There is no try. Happy #StarWarsDay! #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

At church, and I feel like I've embarked on a side quest in an RPG. "Do you know the colour photocopying code?" "No, but I can tell you where the key to a cupboard is. In the cupboard is a sticker with the colour photocopying code on it".

I really want to avoid reinventing the wheel here, just this once. Dependency has exactly the code I need... I can see it. And yet:

Reading about "Doubting" Thomas with my youngest. His kid's Bible has illustrations. 2yo, points at picture of Thomas: Who's that? Me: Thomas. 2yo thinks, points at a disciple wearing green: Then that's Percy. 🤣🤣🤣

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

Respect to Denmark for being extra mad.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Next question: who broke my original cables, and why? Errant tradesperson? Giant radioactive rodents in the walls/crawl space? Not a single wire, of two cables, still connected according to the tester. Something's gone clean through it... 🤔

It's 8:45 on Sunday morning and I'm at church... terminating Cat6 cables. With a bit of crawling around and a lot of prayer, there's every chance yet that this morning's service will be live streamed.

Tonight I'll be talking about writing more resilient code with Nullable Reference Types in C# at the #Umbraco London meetup. There's still spaces available! www.meetup.com/the-london-u...

I did a blog. If you're struggling with CORS in a headless #Umbraco site, it might help you. dev.to/jasonelkin/y...

The day is starting to wrap up at @umbracospark.bsky.social, where we have enjoyed a bunch of #umbraco talks (and other topics!) including from our wonderful dev @joe.gl! Next up... the pub! 🍻

Happy pancake day folks.

Wonderblocks is fantastic. Watching it with 4yo, who's sick home from school. It's designed to teach young children to code. The emphasis on stopping and breaking down complex problems is great.
