Are there any @nextjs.org experts out there who would be interested in helping migrate the adoptium.net site from Gatsby to Next.js. They’d need experience with i18n as well as mdx/asciidoc for content generation. @adoptium.net is an open source project and any help would be much appreciated!

Had a great evening hosting the London Java Community at the Microsoft Reactor for their monthly meetup! This was the first event (of hopefully many) hosted in a Microsoft office

It's 2025 and scammers are still trying to tell me that I've inherited millions of dollars from my late uncle in South Africa... Are people seriously still falling for this or have hackers lost their imagination?

It’s that time of the year again! #devoxxuk

I just got back from 10 days holiday 🏖️ It was the first time I’ve felt properly switched off from work in a long time 📴 Use this as a reminder to book time off work sometimes 🗓️

Who’s at DevoxxUK next week?

Exploring Norway 🇳🇴❄️

Thank you #Auvik Networks for sending me a free #Ubiquiti switch! I’ll get it mounted properly in my rack soon

Introducing cloud.microsoft: a unified domain for Microsoft 365 apps and services

Here’s a recent interview I did with Dreamix: Unveiling the Future of Java: An Exclusive Eclipse Adoptium Deep Dive. Check it out for all things openjdk including specifics about Eclipse Temurin

Looking after these two lovely doggies in the sun 🐶☀️

Today I had a very productive day - 🔒Implemented security fixes on Adoptium website ✅ - 📚Reviewed another chapter of a book I’m working on ✅ - 🗣️Submitted 5 CFP’s to lots of Java/OSS conferences ✅ - 🐛Fixed a bug in some code that was annoying me ✅ - 📈Completely caught up with dependabot upgrades ✅

I do miss gifs, for now here’s some emojis to show how much I miss them 🤷🏻‍♂️🌠😢

Can you sort the website next so that it renders links correctly? For some reason it only works on the mobile app. Also please fix notifications on iOS, for some reason my notifications aren’t coming through

🌐 #BlueSky is a game-changer in social media! ⚡️ Built on cutting-edge decentralised technology, it utilises #blockchain, #IPFS, and open standards like #ActivityPub to empower users. 🔓 No central authority, better privacy, and robust content delivery! #Web3 #DecentralizationTech

This is why Bluesky is better 💯

Who here would like to see an Adoptium account for sharing release updates etc? I can make it happen if people think it would be useful. #adoptium #temurin #openjdk https://adoptium.net/

I don't need DMs

I've been using Copilot and ChatGPT for some time, and while 99% of the time it's awesome, sometimes it fails pretty badly Remember everyone, AI won't replace developers, it will simply make us more productive #AI #ChatGPT #copilot #Java

Wrong answers only... If you write a tweet on Twitter, what do you write on Bluesky??

For those #java developers who want to find out more about how to make use of Virtual Threads in their java applications #openjdk #virtualthreads #jep444 https://t.co/gdIln1kGU5

And like that, my #openjdk JEP has a number! It’s time for the Java ecosystem to move on from 32-bit workloads on Windows! This will help accelerate the development of new features and enhancements #jep449 #java #windows
