My last conference post on here was for UmbracoSpark in early March 2020, back at the start of a year I’d hoped would include a few other such events including the more user-experience focused Camp Digital 2020. What with 2018 and 2019 being heavy mortgage-saving years for me, 2020 had at the start initially been
(And other such clickbaity titles) For a long time I’ve actually ran my personal Umbraco sites off an inhouse server running off a tiny Intel NUC box, designed to be as energy efficient as possible. Over time with the Umbraco 7 site getting more and more bogged down with increasing node counts and complexity, I
There’s a phrase about ‘famous last words’ I think. 6 months ago I mentioned I was aiming to have my site rebuild of an Umbraco 7 site brought into Umbraco 9 largely complete by the time of the release candidate. Well ignoring the fact they’d actually released the RC a day before that blog post
If you’ve not already read part 1 which involved going from v7 to v8, you can read this in the previous blog entry. Part 2 – Getting from v8 > v9 While I had intended to continue on with the migration to v9 the very next day after getting the project database on to v8,

As the reason for the journey South
Some of you may remember a post a long time ago (okay, it’s only about 4 posts back so it’s not that hard to scroll back) where I extolled the virtues of Cloudflare. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, as there are other solutions available, this is a bit of a followup to
Nope, I haven’t forgotten about this blog. It’s just been a busy few months what with having a wedding coming up in the Autumn, which hasn’t left me with a lot of spare time to put up anything more indepth recently and also meant I had to skip a few of the bigger summer conferences
Despite having being linked to in various locations online for some months, I somehow managed to miss all mention of World IA Day having a Manchester event added for 2017 until quite late on when I spotted a tweet from one of the sponsors Sigma. In addition, I’m sure it must have been mentioned at
With Christmas falling between it seems like forever since the last Dot Net North event, but on Tuesday this week it kicked off once more with a talk from Mike Irving entitled ‘Crossing the Windows Bridge for iOS’. I’d not read any spoilers on what to expect, so I won’t lie I went in with
