I advise, develop, mentor, write, and speak. C++ mostly. One of the Carbon leads. Limited availability; you can ask. Want me to speak? She/her.
Today's exploring includes the whistler trainwreck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheakam...
10 years ago. Shocked by the Brexit result I posted something sympathetic on FB along with a hammock picture. The resulting conversation with a friend... (Spoiler: he didn't move to the US)
This financial institution seriously misreading our relationship and what I think about them even having a website at all, never mind the importance of their plans to change that website some day soon.
Speaking is HARD work. My talk was 4:20 to 5:20. Can you see it on the graph? After that I walked (pulling a heavy suitcase and with a heavy backpack) to the train. Then I could relax on the train.
That's a wrap for #ndctoronto Thank you so much everyone for coming and for the kind reception for my closing keynote. @ndcconferences.com sure know how to run a show! See you all next year I hope!
Been excited about this one since I saw the submission come in. So pleased the #ndctoronto program committee accepted it. @darcylussier.bsky.social bring it!
That's right, two Carbon talks at ##ndctoronto. @chandlerc.blog is up again with some performance numbers
Plenty to think about in this talk by @nikpayuk.bsky.social at #ndctoronto
Valid point from @scott.hanselman.com to kick off NDC Toronto. I have seen all these, it's true.
This graph makes it clear. If your infant isn't sleeping, eating etc as they "should" you get desparate and will listen to anyone who sounds confident, even when what they confidently suggest could be fatal. Protecting parents would be wise.
A side note in a study on cancer vaccines. I had checkpoint inhibitors and I think 9 Covid shots so far. Coming up on 10 years since my stage 4 metastatic melanoma was confirmed. Unheard of result just 11 years ago.
Apr 30th @klmuseumarchives.ca is hosting an exhibit launch for "approximately sixty Inuit carvings, sculptures, and materials collected from 1900 to 1970" visiting from Cobourg. Good chance to learn more about these artifacts than one normally would. www.klmuseumarchives.ca/events/exhib...
Here's a peek at the NDC Toronto lanyards! @ndcconferences.com chose a design with no metal hook, that little notch keeps the badge attached. Can't wait to wear mine! If you don't have your ticket yet, there's still time ndctoronto.com/agenda
In Canada "a roti" means the bread wrapped around a curry filling. Period. (Example from a roti place nearish to me)
I like this one, the web site seems to have gone away though. They key is give them a number but tie it to something it is worse than, like "getting this tattoo" or "transition during labour" never just give a number.
Ontario business website, down all weekend for "maintenance", comes back up today, makes me enter stuff it already knows, then... An Error Is Occurred. Why do I never get way too much money to do an atrocious job? I can be atrocious at half the price of your current vendor!
Honestly @toronto.ca this is shameful. Bloor street. Hardly a backwater. Over a week and nothing done?
New candidate for counter-productive email: (as far as I can recall I didn't make any posts, so this is very good performance, but still) 9/8
This chocolate. And gladost. And a number of very yummy flavours of chips that don't exist here.
This should be illegal. Left turn indicator is an arrow pointing right and vice versa. Later it signaled left and it gave real cognitive dissonance.
Decisions, Decisions. Go Jays go! (These were all bought contemporaneously. In 1993 we didn't buy shirts I guess.)
Enjoyed this talk on expressive code by @tinaul.bsky.social at #NDCTechtown
Physically resetting the projector at #NDCTechtown go @tartanllama.xyz go!
