Morning all

Started off cloudy and grey, now it's sunny with lumps of fluff. A gentle breeze is wafting in my office window. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 26 expected. Barometer down to 1021 mBar.

A quiet day, meetings wise. I might get some work done.

Having dealt with a minor security update this morning, I was able to pop along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and get the shopping done at lunchtime

After I was back, I was due for a meeting with a user researcher to gather my opinion of some documentation of a new process I want to adopt for deployments. I’d been through the docs and made notes, which he greatly appreciated, and I’m hoping they’ll be able to make some improvements as I’m pretty sure I’d be unable to complete the process without help as things currently stand

With that done, I finally had a few minutes to spare for lunch, which was some of those cold cocktail sausages as they’re quick and easy

Back to the fray now

Morning all
I'd not say it was raining or even drizzling earlier, but the air was damp.

I did some work. Also reminded the programme manager that my contract is up in a month as I got warning yesterday that extensions take a while.

Another week done!

Sometimes we end Tech Debt Thursday with an hour-long chat on Slack about anything interesting that’s come up, but various people are off and others had gone to the Cardiff office for something, so it didn’t happen this week. So I went through a few tickets from the pentest earlier in the year. Some minor things I can’t change because it’s down to another team, and some others turned out to be OK after all. In particular, a bit of infrastructure was upgraded to TLS 1.3 in line with NCSC’s recommendations a couple of days ago, so that change ended up incorporated in our stuff when the unrelated security fix I released this morning was deployed! Always nice to be able to close a ticket because somebody else has done all the work
