We talked about this on #PatchTuesday webinar today. This past month was a record breaking month for Microsoft, and other vendors in terms of fixes shipped! us.portal.patchmypc.com/api/…

4:39 minutes chip time.
Now I have to decide if I will do the thing again.

This week has been a blast been in person with the most of Patch My PC this week. So much cool stuff around the company and it’s been great to spend time with people outside the tiny screen. Got some runs in with friends too

Sunday long run day. People asking me about what team I support for the Super Bowl. Im team get off the couch and run.
I’ve figured out that on long run days I can queue up a ton of work, by dictating GitHub issues into features, then when I’m relaxing after words, I can watch them get coded before my eyes via Claude or GitHub agent flows. Helps fit in marathon training AND community work all at once.

Aside from a few posts here and there, I've been pretty quiet on social media for the past year, both from a blogging and talking perspective.
I've been taking a break, from it as I both settled into my new role at work, and to work on building some healthier habits, over sitting at a computer screen for 28 hours a day.
What did I do instead? I read some books on my backlog. I got back into running, and lifting, dropped 30 lbs and ran my first half marathon. Now I'm training for a full marathon at the end of May.
I'm finally hitting a point where it's time to really start adding the builder, and community work that I have always loved to be a part of back into the rotation.
Soon(TM)

Those of you who are following the Notepad plus plus scenario. There was an update this morning.
notepad-plus-plus.org/news/c…
The key takeaway is the *majority* of consumers should take from this message, was implied early on and now has been said definitely.
"This was a highly selective attack by a state-sponsored group targeting specific high-value organizations. Security researchers confirmed that the vast majority of Notepad users were never affected"
I'm going to write up something today, that distills a ton of the information from a bunch of different sources and get it out there.
Finaly Takeaway as I said before: If you update to Version Current - and run a sweep to look for any of the listed IOC's - you are **VERY LIKELY** fine.
If you used #PatchMyPC - to update, and the self updater was never allowed to run, or called to run you should update to version current - check for IOC's to be safe, but you are likely un-impacted.

I promised I would write something about Notepad
Here you go, a simplified version, of the overall infrastructure compromise that happened last year, and only now are we starting to wrestle with.

All this technology stuff is cool and all.
But did you take care of yourself today? Did you go for a walk? Maybe a run? Get enough sleep? Lift some heavy things and eat right? The computer will be there tomorrow, promise make sure you take care of you.
