Great time at the #PokemonGORoadTrip - 96% Shiny with Background, I’ll take that. Oh and I got to say hello to @JT_Valor which was an unexpected perk!

Hamburg last week for @colorcloudrocks and London today for @city_dynamics has highlighted the poor UK train system! 1hr15 to Germany, 2hr30 to London ( delay!) and that's not even mentioning the cost. BUT I'm excited to talk to like minded people about the tech we work with!

Got time devoted this week to really dig into the Copilot extensibility across the Microsoft tech stack and I'm so excited. Just in case I doubted my nerd tendencies! #microsoft #copilot

Back from the @MVPAward Summit, reinstalled X - but will be unfollowing a whole host of accounts to refresh the news feeds and see if it’s better than when I left.

After a great @d365ppuguk event in London, it’s time for a social media detox - apps uninstalled until new year. LinkedIn if you need me :)

Pains me to say it - but X is a shadow of its Twitter self. My feed is full of CCTV videos of people doing stupid things, getting hurt and worse. Why?! Every time I block one account, more go on my feed.

The new MS Learn Applied Skills are quite interesting - seeing brand new VMs span up and you following tasks to prove you can action things is an interesting change I've seen over all the theory based questions. It's worth checking out if you can. techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

Oh wow, that’s an honour. Community is nothing without attendees, speakers and sponsors. I’m a mere cog in a large machine but to be noticed is an honour. Thank you judges.

It’s @XrmToolBox time with @ChrisPiasecki89. Showcase of tools from @TanguyTOUZARD, @MarkMpn, @LinkeD365 and @rappen. 80% of this room haven’t used XrmToolBox and hopefully we have some new converts!
