First day back at work - the first session was Thomas and Ann on ADP and their API needs. 

Monday 22nd July, 2024

Day off sick - slept in, then watched the F1 on the couch - where Piastri was undercut by Lando, who had to give the place back. Finished The Acolyte - it was actually quite good. 

Sunday 21st July, 2024

Visited dad and Tiz for her birthday - watched the Lions beat the top of the table Swans in a nail biting finish.

House warming - had a bunch of folks over. Finally met Dave and Robyn's Lacey - and caught up with many I hadn't seen before.

Friday 19th July, 2024

Met Gaurub 1:1 for the first time - he seemed nice. Talked about how unusual it must be learning about people's profiles from Ennagram before knowing them directly. 

Thursday 18th July, 2024

First Ennagram workshop that I could make - had to go through my own profile. Showed my blackbelt as the object that represented me. 

Wednesday 17th July, 2024

Smashed out the integration data for Hannah - got the toggle data, but it quickly became A nightmare for the other data points.

My 40th birthday - had coffee with Alex and Nathan, as Julie was looking after her mum. Had lunch with Julie at a West end Cafe - watched the police cars roll out from across the street, as we sat next to a ring shaped seat around a table.

Day off to relax - took Kai to swimming and little kickers. After we dropped AJ off at school and got the oil from Nath, we went to Merlo where it was warm in the sun - before we went for a walk past the custom jeweller to the kookaburra head that he sat on. 

Sunday 14th July, 2024

Mum, Al, Tim, and Jas came over for my birthday lunch. Jas gave me a pickle rick game, and I made Al sick on the simulator.

Walked Kai to the cafe for a coffee before everyone arrived.  First LAN party at the new house - setup in the empty front room. Had a blast play 'Oh Deer' - where we had to try and blend in as a deer. 

Friday 12th July, 2024

Lunch at the office - had the Turkish eggs, which were pretty bad. Just eggs floating in oily yoghurt. 

Thursday 11th July, 2024

First ProdTech monthly - with Jon finally back from Berlin. Had to send Julie to the body corp meeting - but thankfully, no fireworks there. 

Wednesday 10th July, 2024

Workshop with the French team led by TB on the future of CM tooling. I was frustrated with Silou - feeling he was being too negative, and trying to urge him to start the UI. 

Tuesday 9th July, 2024

Caught up with Kevin - he told me he had got a job at Amazon and was leaving. Super happy for him, after so long of frustration 

Monday 8th July, 2024

Kicked off the 1user POC with Sasha, Duy, and Viv. It felt great to finally be making progress on it.

Went to Chermside and bought the boys some toys with the Westfield voucher we had. Boys the boys do nuts

Friday 5th July, 2024

First big planning session on IAM - Mark and I were frustrated on the lack of action from the retro, but it was OK overall.  Came home feeling unwell, to the Seppanen tribe creating chaos at home. Annoyed I offered Jon a beer, and he barely touched it and let it go warm. 

Thursday 4th July, 2024

Second day of hackathon - pushed Nikk to the edge to get the UI up, but managed to get the presentation together. Stoked to win most innovative 

Wednesday 3rd July, 2024

First day of hackathon - managed to get all the API designs done, and stood up on the work Jake did overnight on the aggregate prompt API

Tuesday 2nd July, 2024

1:1 with Holger - first time since seeing him in Berlin. Aligned on strategy, and presentation for the coming Monday that I'd do in lieu of Jon

Monday 1st July, 2024

Hackathon session with Ann, Tara, and Pete to work on the design vision - some friction on calling it a pathway.

First drinks and food at the fire trail. At first nobody was there and I was worried it wouldn't have a turn out but people quickly arrived. Had to take AJ back to the house for a poo, I went in to pee after and it stank badly. 

Saturday 29th June, 2024

Dinner at Nina and Al's a with Yang. Felt stupid on reflection trying to related to him by using an example of starting with nothing when Lil gave me the plates. Felt like a dick for trying to compare. 

Friday 28th June, 2024

Dinner with Den at Hope & Anchor - switched the signs to sit by the fire place. Talked to Irish lads who were back packing while some older guy played slightly too loud guitar. 

Thursday 27th June, 2024

Day off sick - half dazed on the couch, but managed to watch the end of the Mr & Mrs Smith TV show where they try and kill each other. 

Wednesday 26th June, 2024

Final MBR for 1Platform - still felt hollow with none of the directors attending it.
