Jumped on the bandwagon and had a play with creating AI versions of myself with Microsoft Designer - it's quite addictive! Yes, I realise it's far too smiley to be me and doesn't have enough coffee cups on the go!

I do like my Microsoft Surface touchscreen, especially given my Signature Type Cover / Keyboard as just died, I have no other option 😢

Decided to finally learn Insomnia on the piano. Maxi Jazz was a big motorsports fan, having raced himself in the Ford Fiesta Championship, Ginetta GT5 Challenge and the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. An absolute legend, was absolutely gutted when he passed.

Yes I bought this because it had pigs on it, but it also tastes bloody good. I carried it around all day snowboarding, then buried it in the snow for a bit to chill it. Very nice! Happy Sunday from Andorra!

Did someone forget to tell the Azure Stack HCI team that the Azure logo changed? 😅

oh wow, I'm pretty sure I had exactly the same Sony CD-R with exactly the same install key on it. Damn... That makes me old then??

This is madness. It was using VMwares free products that led me to virtualising everything at work and paying good money to do so. This move is SO short sighted. RIP VMware hypervisor. Do I switch to hyper-v given I'm mainly working with Azure these days?

Yup...

How to offend everyone in the UK with one plate.

This was good fun, thanks @TheCloudPirate for the invite!

A clean bill of health (ok, so I need to lose a few pounds!) and a renewed class 2 medical, thanks to flyingmedicine at Stansted. Now to get that LPC done, my SEP renewed... oh and some decent weather!

Got my flying license back in order, so took the plane up for a lap around East Anglia this morning. I've missed doing this! 😁🛩

My wife got home from Drive Thru to find her McChicken Sandwich wasn't quite what she expected. McDonald's UK when did you start doing McChicken Pounders with Cheese? 🤣🤣 how does this even happen??

First peak of 2024 completed. Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon. Not a great view at the top, lots of cloud, but lovely on the way up. My legs are done, I'm knackered... More gym required, but happy with 4hr 40mins up and back.

I finally have release date for my book, Flying from Shangri-La: 28th Sept 2024. Please consider subscribing to my website to get early access to the hardback edition before that date! mattdearden.co.uk/2024/04/25/boo…

Just arrived! Looking forward to getting stuck into this later. Judging by the prologue, it's going to be an interesting read! Awesome work Matt Dearden
