Digital Memory Palace

Wrapped gogether - noticed Jasneet crying, I suspected news on Hoa but wasn't sure if I should ask. Drove home in the pouring rain - frustrated that the sentry mode had chewed up 26km of range. 

Morning run with Joe and Sang - then a long day of conference. Took the after party yo my room, where we got told off by security.

Arrived at Gogether and went for a run out to the headland, and along the coast. Super hot, but it was nice to jump into the plunge pool after (after bumping into Sang)

Parkrun with Den - then battled to get the server working. Same with his PC. Took them home to sort out, and managed to get the pc done for him after swapping the ssd 

Good session with Shangzhi on the Beam/Insights team strategy - and overall challenges were seeing. 

First software leaders with Jasneet - really good discussion on the overly complex business rules. Was good to hear it was a consistent issue across us all. 

Chat on CPD - that turned into a deep inquiry into why we're not reusing Awards. Great conversation. 

Prags' first BusTech MBR —he did a grease t job of it. There was a number of new faces, I hadn't really met before there. 

Tech design review for assign - Rohan/Kamu surprised me with a really nice job of putting it together. 

Took the boys to the bike park after Julie got home - they mimicked the other kids who were doing the long run up from the nearby hill.

The boys chose to go to the beach - so we went to Kings Beach and enjoyed a day in the water. Kai was intimidated, but warmed up over time. 

Left early to get the kids from school as Julie had left for her girls weekend. They opted for Vietnamese for dinner - and to watch Thai Fantastic Four.

Reviewed the CSAT results - some interesting findings as we went through it together. Needed to wait until I aligned with Kristina/Laura to release it - but they were away this week.

Session with Ben M on how we should approach parent portals long term. We aligned that they shouldn't be used for anything other than access.

Session with Jasneet on roadmap in the office - we didn't get much into planning, as I got her across the pain that was change with the layered logic.

Did our Learn focused showcase - was good to see the parts coming together.

Got the ram into Dens server to get it alive and working. Started building it up.

Tried to get the energy out of the kids by having them play dodgeball with socks inside the front room.

Well being day - drove to the beach, calling mum on the way. The day turned into hanging a TV, having lunch with her and Al, and then sneaking for a beach swim after. I went and bought new shoes - Ultraboost. The first time I'd switched from Nike.

First time meeting Junaid - his beard reminded me of the Amish 

First team session with Jon's new direct reports - we made a team contract after talking about how we want to operate. 

Session between PANDA and the Data team on the enrolment/assignment reporting risk - followed by a late call with Solene to catch up and start to explore acquisition opportunities. 

Released Phase 2B of restrictions, only to find issues with auto add and LRM. Paulo rolled it back. 

Dad came over and watched the Broncos narrowly win the premiership. We setup the arcade controller that Geremy gave AJ at half time

LAN party at Jungle - really loved the art on the walls through the office. We played 'Golf with your friends' - AJ joined in with us.

LAST conference. Left my phone in my car, effectively leaving it unlocked. Not a good start.  Bumped into Todd, Bec, and Jon - was great to see them all.  Did my talk - and packed out the room, which I was chuffed with. Won the Meta Glasses at the after party - and tried to win the Lego. 

Ran my Reforge Insights enablement - sent the recordings to Chun who got a kick out of them. 

Farewell call with Shannon from Curation - she was off to a partner and seemed to be in a good place. It was a journey to see her change her life, her health, and now her career. 

First budget session with Eva and Jon's new team structure - she checked in after to make sure it ran well 

Session with Mish and Si to accelerate the notification templates. Saw some frustration from Si about it

Spent the day at home practising and refining my talk for LAST conference. Using Gamma and GPT to iterate and hone. 

Julie came with me to park run as the kids were at mums - which was really nice. 

Rallied with Braden and Huu to get the Docebo report sorted. Had to fall back onto my dashboard as the source wasn't going to be able to merge what we wanted. 

Met Damien, the new designer. He seemed really bright and proactive. Good to see him setting boundaries early on. 

API design review on the user facets work - felt a bit harsh on Viv, but thanked her and appreciated her responsiveness. 

Long session with Laura on Beam naming —we finally got to a good place.
