It's Thursday! Ok, good folk. When I starting using Jira, as a regular user back in 2010, it was on version 4.1 :) But as an admin, I first started working on version 5.2. Can you remember what was the first version of Jira or Confluence you used? Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! In honor of Confluence Automation being released couple of weeks ago, today's post is about Confluence. Automation for Confluence is a very powerful feature available in Premium and Enterprise versions.I've dabbled in it a little and I think it will be a favorite feature of Confluence very quickly.Confluence…

It's Thursday! I was 8 years old when my parents took me and my sister to Disneyland. I really loved it. I´ve gone a few times since and even as an adult, I think it is quite magical and fun. Here is a picture of me, my son, and my distant aunt in Disneyland in 1996.Soooo, what is your favorite theme park/attraction?Let’s…

It's Thursday! I know, I know! You guys are gonna think KGM is off his rocker now (which is true btw) but we had some concrete job done in our backyard few weeks back. I went outside regularly during the pour in order to see if they needed anything, try to help, and just because I was excited to watch the progress. Well,…

It's Thursday! When my kids got a little older, I started making somewhat bigger sandwiches for them, which we ended up calling "Super Shaggy sandwich". The kids really liked it! It got it's name from fact that I liked to put at least 2 different types of cheese on it along with multiple lunch meat slices, if we had them…

It's Thursday! For me, I think smell is the strongest. I was born and raised in Iceland. Visited America for the first time when I was 8. Visited in England when I was 6 and again around age 11. I went to Malta as well when I was younger. Iceland is cold and windy. So going to a foreign country, feeling the heat and maybe…

It's Thursday! Okay, I remember having a set of these when I was about 9 or 10. I thought they were the coolest ever! And we would sneak around the neighborhood, behind and under the trees and communicating newfound information about our neighbors. Well actually, what we Icelanders call trees are called small bushes…

It's Thursday! Let´s talk Jira memories today, specifically routing of issues to different teams. One place that worked at had lots of teams and this was before JSM. The first iteration we did had 2 single select fields: "Specialty" and "Group". Then we built a whole bunch of filters and dashboards that were based off on…

It's Thursday! I hope you guys are enjoying the sun and summer, if you are in the northern hemisphere. I´ve been enjoying it in my hammock so I don´t have an interesting post today.But, I will "repost" a former #TBT post -> What is on your bucket list? Let’s make it a great Thursday! KGM

It's Thursday! Three weeks ago, my friend Steve and I hiked to Lake Blanche in Utah. We reached the lake at 8:30 pm and enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a bit and then hiked back down. Along the trail runs a river. Because of all the snowfall this winter, the river still sounds like a spring river, lots of water in it.…

It's Thursday! Jira Automation has been part of many of our lives for a few years now (and before that as a 3rd party app). About three weeks ago, Atlassian release Automation for Confluence in the Premium and Enterprise Cloud versions. To celebrate that, today's #TBT is about Automation :)I think I will say that "Re-fetch…

It's Thursday! About a month ago, I returned from a trip to the homeland. My wife and I used the opportunity to clean out the storage, where the rest of our stuff is stored. We also managed to bring all of our family photo albums back to States. Therefore, today´s post is about our baby pictures :)This here is, as far as I…

It's Thursday! Last fall, couple of guys in my street invited me to play pickleball in a park nearby. We met up at the mail boxes at 11:30 and drove to the part together (only about 10 min away) and played until 12:45 or so, to be back home by 1:00 to go back to work. I had heard about pickleball and these courts seemed to…

It's Thursday! I grew up in Iceland, as many of you know. In Iceland sports and clubs are separate from grade school and high school. So if you get involved, then you have to go on your own to the sports gym your club holds practices (like gymnastics, fencing, basketball, etc). My parents had me try all kinds of sports but…

It's Thursday! When I was 6 years old, my parents went to England. That was my very first trip in an airplane. We lived in Iceland at the time so we had to either go in an airplane or a ship to visit another country. Iceland being an island and all. During that trip, we also visited Guernsey.So, what was the first country…

It's Thursday! This #TBT goes way back, all the way to the day you were born :) Ever since I started living in the USA (as an exchange student, during college years, now, and during all my visits), I have been grateful for the date of my birthday: May 5th. You see, in Europe it is 5. of May but in USA it's May 5th.…

It's Thursday! Hope you all have recuperated from the joy and listening to Team'22. What a roller costar! So much info and new exciting announcements. Very cool indeed! I could not live without súkkulaði (Icelandic for "chocolate"). I just LOVE chocolate. I crave chocolate. I dream of chocolate. I... Well, you probably get…

It's Thursday! According to the dictionary, a bucket list is: a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. In other words, we put things on our bucket list as we travel and traverse through this earth life. I mainly have places I want to travel to on my bucket…

It's Thursday! I am super stoked about this post; to see your responses 💻 🕹️🎮🖥️ Can you see this beaut below? Jepsí Pepsi! That was my very first computer. Commodore 64k. Don't remember when I got it - probably fall of 1982. My dad bought a small color TV as a monitor. I purchased a magazine at the bookstore and coded up a…

It's Thursday! That time of the week again and we are almost all the way to the... So, I was a college student back in the mid 90's and needed a job that had flexible hours so I could squeeze in between classes and homework. A friend of mine got me this job at his brothers place. I had to do some commuting to get there. It…

It's Thursday! When I was younger, I would walk in my sleep. Even into my adulthood, I would still sleepwalk but I don't do it as often anymore. Once I woke up in the middle of the night and was really cold. After a little bit I realized that my duvet (thick "blanket" we use in Iceland) was missing. So, I started searching…

It's Thursday! Actually, the #TBT posts are kind of like a Groundhog Day (kind of, in a sense) because we are rehashing the past🙂 But I hope you enjoy that. I certainly do!I remember seeing the movie Groundhog Day in the early 90's and liked it alot. That is really my memory connected with this day.What are some of your…

Well, it´s America´s birthday (or was on Tuesday) so... Happy birthday, America! You are a nice and very beautiful country; so breathtaking diverse! Ever since I first came to America, December of 1978 when I was 8 years old, I've had a crush on you. Sure, you might not always be rich in history or have culture and…

It's Thursday! Alright peeps, let's spice it up :)Helga Laufey and I tried to go steady three times during our pre-adult years. I think the first time was when we were 8. We were in the same class together, below is a class picture of sitting side by side, from age 6 to 16. I wrote a heart on the back of my hand when I was…

It's Thursday! It is still winter where I am now living and it has been dang cold lately. Plus windy! I remember being in Sidney, Nebraska at the beginning of January 1993. I went outside for a little walk and it was -4F. It was so darn cold that the snot in my nose froze! That is the coldest temperature I remember being…

It's Thursday! It's spring time! I am so ready for spring and summer. For me and my family, our fav is for sure San Clemente in California! When we go, we always try to stay in the old red and white part of the city. I love the winding streets and the layout. And the beach and the pier. Just such a great place for us. So,…

It's Thursday! Here is one for you travel buffs out there. I think the coolest place I have been to is Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean sea. It has such an amazing history and culture. It has three World Heritage Sites - one of them a 5.000 year old temple. It is the 10th smallest country in the world yet 4th…

It's Thursday! Ready for Disney Thursday? :) I think my life might resemble Woody from Toy Story. I think my life is hip and cool. That I am the center of it all but in reality I am just a side note. A has been that used to mean something...Wow, that was gloomy but I just wanted to use this cool gif. Let me start again.…
