Look and sound glamorous, and perhaps it is. Perks of working in Automattic, BTW. Time zone weirdness, post-pandemic travel stress, don’t get me started with visa application process, and new things you see as you go.

Sydney, Australia — September 2024
Some eagle-eyed folks might already realized that this blog looked quite different, and it is.
