Today at @pixelbuilders.bsky.social we brought a little bit of #umbraco #codegarden back to the office with a little game of BUNGO with swag for prizes. We had people win the hoodie, shirt, socks, hats & umbraCoffee coffee. 3 rounds, lots of fun 😁

Mind blown! Just found out at X years old that you can run Lucene queries right in the #umbraco backoffice!

@codesharepaul.bsky.social Legend for implementing this during a hackathon and PR'ing it into core. Can't tell you how useful this is to me working on a multisite solution and only having a single domain at my disposal

#Umbraco v8 upgrades... I'm doing a meetup talk next month demo'ing v8 to v15, what to consider, pitfalls, etc. Based on your own experience, what stands out for you as things which require rework?
i.e. Nested content > Block list, Html.Action > View components, Umbraco Forms themes...

Thanks πŸ™‚

I skipped from Client Drawer v1 to v13, preferring a clear view: Umbraco package v13 = Umbraco v13 compatibility. Version guessing can be tricky when that’s not the case IMO. Contentment’s an exception given it's known cross version compatibility.

OK, here's a short and silly Christmas song called "Gingerbread Man."
The Gingerbread Man, he was baked with care,
With buttons for eyes and sprinkles for hair.
He hopped in the oven, a sweet little guy,
And now he's a cookie, ready to fly!
Chorus:
Oh, the Gingerbread Man, he's yummy and sweet,
A tasty treat for everyone to eat!
He's spicy and crunchy, a Christmas delight,
Let's nibble his buttons and buttons so bright!
The Gingerbread Man, he's friends with the elves,
They decorate cookies, all by themselves.
With frosting and candy, they make them so grand,
The best-tasting cookies in all the whole land!
Chorus:
Oh, the Gingerbread Man, he's yummy and sweet,
A tasty treat for everyone to eat!
He's spicy and crunchy, a Christmas delight,
Let's nibble his buttons and buttons so bright!

Not bad! Picked up this really nice bike from a guy on gumtree. Listed for Β£29, he offered Β£25, I gave him Β£30. I'm not sure I understand this haggling malarkey πŸ˜‚

In a world with Uber, Deliveroo, Amazon and DPD they have the technology but many choose to ignore it. Forgive me, but they just need a phone to ping an API every 10 seconds with a location, combine with the delivery schedule, put it in a UI and boom you have yourself a new customer experience πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I've only had an account for a few days and noticed I'm getting many random bot accounts follow me. That been said, looks like a few have been disabled since.

In order of most used: X, LinkedIn, Mastodon & now BlueSky (may overtake Mastodon in time depending on how well it is adopted by umbraco folk). I also use Facebook, but rarely and for separate uses.
