I had a nasty accident on my motorbike last night. It’s written off 🔥💥 I know bikes are dangerous… Up until yesterday I’d not had a stack since I was 10 on the farm. The bike was a shiny black cruiser, a Honda VTX 1800C fatboy-looking motorcycle. I don’t have good recollection of the accident, […]
Ignite is always an awesome opportunity to snag some interviews with some of the best technical minds in the country – so we brought along the SSW TV video team to do just that.
Microsoft Ignite Australia 2017 was a blast last week on the Gold Coast. SSW was well represented with our guys there and we had a good looking stand. I did 2 presentations that went well and will be posted soon. In addition, I did 6 interviews which are posted below. The SSW TV team worked like […]

This month we have been running our Angular Super Powers tour in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. We always knew Angular 2 would be a hot topic, but we were overwhelmed with the demand for the 1-day training event. We sold out tickets in every city. We even had to turn some people away due to the fire […]
Trump is President. It was certainly an experience being in the USA for the vote results last night. It’s been a big surprise for everyone I’ve spoken to on the Microsoft Campus. My prediction in 6 months: Trump says: I’m cancelling the wall. Hillary suggested it in the 1st place and I always said it […]
UPDATE 9/02/2017: I’ve added Uly’s Power BI presentation to the bottom of this post. Power BI has significantly changed how I view my company’s data, and the insight I now have into how my business is running is unprecedented.
