DIECAST MCR | A new creative neighbourhood Welcome to Diecast, a new creative neighbourhood. Now home to Leno Ex Machina and Brooklyn Beer Hall.

Hullo Manchester! Very much looking forward to an #Umbraco filled rest of the week! If you’re like me and have arrived here early, you can find a friendly Umbracian or two at diecastmcr.com this evening from 6ish

Codecabin and Codegarden: Both Peak Umbraco, Just Very Different Peaks! - DEV Community A few weeks ago I found myself on the stage at Codegarden with my fellow podcast host Emma Burstow,...

Name an Umbraco event that starts with the letters “Code”, and leaves folks feeling inspired, informed and enthused for doing more in our friendly community? The answer could be “Codegarden” or “Codecabin”! Read my comparison of the two dev.to/lottepitcher... (only a few days to apply for CC25!)

And thanks to @openvibe.social I only typed that message once! Wondering how cross platform mentions work? When you @ someone, the app will prompt for the right handle in each of the platforms you’re posting to. I was wondering how that would work. Pretty cool! #H5YR as we say in #umbraco land!

🎙️New episode alert!

Last week I was one of the 2 CanCon hosts in front of a wonderful live CG audience and joined by some special guests. Keep those #codegarden blues at bay for another 31 mins 😆

A list of 10 booking slots. 9 of the slots use the 24 hour clock format. The 17:30 slot shows as 5:30pm

This confuses me. What’s wrong with 17:30?!

🥑 In today's #Umbraco DevRel Deep Dive we look at Content Lock from the prolific community contributor @warrenbuckley.bsky.social. This package adds the ability to lock nodes and see who else is currently editing - so useful!

Excellent evening with #Umbraco folk in London! Exemplary hosting by This is Embrace 🙏. A thought (and discussion) proving talk from @jasonelkin.uk about null reference types. And a cool demo from @mttblss.uk showing how to automatically set sort order on nodes. Thanks to all involved and attended!

Oh Rick I am so so very sorry 💔

Thanks Jon, I’d gladly see it again with the London main cast. I’ll let you know when!

I really was! Thought it was a phenomenal theatrical experience. The original cast members were exceptional, as indeed were the Fates and the chorus! 6 out of 5! So grateful to my friend who spent 3 hours in the website ticket queue!

March 8th, so we have an off-by-one error ;-)

But yes, the original Broadway cast: the musical theatre fan’s equivalent of Glastonbury tickets!!

Oooh I’m to going to see it in a couple of weeks. It will be my first time. Your post is making me (even more) excited about it!

Thank you to @ldnug.org, @ndcconferences.com and Mads Torgersen for putting on such an interesting evening. What a privilege to hear from the lead designer of C# about what is being contemplated for the next release. And look, Mads does the teapot pose on stage like I (allegedly) do! 🫖

Well they say the first sentence is the most important. Excellent first sentence 😆

I will be setting up Cloud CI/CD in the new year so will be checking back here then. So many thanks in advance J[a]son!

We had an excellent evening last night at the #Umbraco London Xmas party! Great turnout for an entertaining quiz from the one and only @ravimotha.bsky.social

Big thanks and #H5YR to Crumpled Dog for hosting and drinks and to Bump Digital for the pizza! Collaboration FTW! See you in 2025!

Happy December Umbracians! The 24 Days team have got some great articles coming your way every day this side of Christmas 🎉

The wing de-icing process is cool 🥶🤖

The fact that it’s happening for the third time as we’ve been on the tarmac for 3 hours is not so cool 😑

The more you have, the better at Dev Rel you are, right?

Appears I may have engaged here on Bluesky just as it starts imploding: vile people found it too ☹️
