Father • Husband • Triathlete • SSW Solution Architect
I'm a Solution Architect at SSW in Brisbane. I've been in the Microsoft ecosystem since .NET 2.0, championing Azure DevOps since it was TFPreview, and a Microsoft MVP every year since 2014. These days I'm designing and building in Azure, helping teams write better C#, and sharing what I find here.
PHP's critical RCE fixes, GitHub CLI expiring tokens and package firewall, Anthropic's Scion and review loops, Figma Specs, and GitHub's star-history queries: what changed and how to evaluate it.
GitHub workflow lockfiles and push attribution, Cloudflare multimodal decisions, and earlier work on Kubernetes swap, agent benchmarks, Aspire Native AOT and OpenAI's Decisions API: what changed and how to evaluate it.
Mouse clicks only work in Claude Code when it runs in fullscreen mode. One setting turns it on.
GitHub's context-aware secret detection, Copilot sandboxing, stacked pull requests, and Git infrastructure redesign give teams concrete changes to evaluate, alongside Anthropic's expanded verified access for security work.
Scanning the Kayo QR code opened the iPhone app, but playback on Apple TV never started. Allowing two domains in NextDNS fixed it.
A desktop dashboard for the telemetry ClaudeBar and CodexBar record. It imports their local OpenTelemetry files into its own archive, so limit history, token usage, API cost and burn rate are still there after the bar apps prune their files. A menu bar preview shows recent usage without opening the window.
An opinionated native macOS terminal for people who keep several projects open all day. It keeps long-lived terminal sessions and WebKit browser tabs inside named workspaces, with fast pane splitting and very little surrounding UI.
Your Codex usage limits in the macOS menu bar, in your timezone. Shows session and weekly usage, reset times, pace indicators, and model-specific limits straight from Codex. No cost tracking, no charts, just the numbers you need at a glance.
A Swift package that recreates Apple's eight FaceTime camera reactions, like confetti, balloons, fireworks and lasers, as click-through overlays for any macOS app, either full screen or inside your own window. Each effect was tuned frame by frame against recordings of the real thing.
Your Claude usage limits in the macOS menu bar, in your timezone. The bar shows the highest percentage across your limits; the dropdown breaks each one out (session, weekly, and any model-scoped limits) with a progress bar and reset time. No cost tracking, no charts, just the numbers from Claude's usage page at a glance.
Pull up a chair and review the pull request. A local, AI-assisted PR reviewer for macOS: import a PR as a bundle, walk the diffs file by file, and leave review comments before syncing them back. Everything stays on your machine.
