Forgot the pass phrase to my phone today. I knew what the words in it were, but not where the capitalisation was. Went through two 15m lockout periods before my brain managed to dig up the correct combination. 😰

Last day of funemployment.

Writing code. Such a nerd.

I am one again Worker. Down with Parasite.

Says something about my followings and myself that every mention of this in my timeline is firmly https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1227948302886408193

Love love love how @auspost’s complaint’s form features a date field that requires US format. The placeholder says DD/MM/YYYY, but 12/02/2020 is a date in the future, 02/12/2020 is a date in the past, so 🤔🤔🤔

There’s an intruder in her yard (landscaper) and she’s not allowed to go out and beg for pats. And also steal his tools. And probably wander out the gate for an adventure around the neighbourhood.

Slack bot to create a confluence page from the last x minutes of chat in a channel, so that, I dunno, two people deciphering a postfix config could easily document the conclusions. Is there one?

In the last 24 hours I have rendered technical advice and assistance to colleagues from the two most recent employment positions. Turns out, I'm great. And also postfix config is a bitch to remember 18 months out from last having seen it.

Reading Gibson’s Agency. Just reached the meeting in the Denisovan Embassy with the descriptions of Ash and Lowbeer’s clothing affectations, and it occurs that the post-Jackpot scenes are sometimes a bit like a less surreal version of Moorcock’s Dancers at the End of Time.

I’ve typed games into a computer by hand, from a magazine https://twitter.com/GifZelda/status/1225793402635194369

One-ish handed crowd catch, a mobile phone in the other hand 🤣

Evidently not, Andrew.

Very few things as tiresome as talking about one’s self.

The agency I worked for laid off most of its staff today. Including me. Turns out when you don't get the next client in... So I'm available. I have a lot of experience with team leadership and management. I also write code and stand up infra. DM me.

To be fair, Joe is one of the country’s foremost second rate people. https://twitter.com/newscomauHQ/status/1223750374789509123

The Good Place continues the streak of tv shows I liked that 👏Stuck👏The👏Landing.

Such a good final episode.

D started crying at 6m 26s into the final Good Place episode

The NYT article on MSCHF reads an awful lot like it’s a drop.

@TatianaTMac ISTR late last year you were saying you'd be in Sydney the second week of Feb, and were looking for a meetup or event to speak at. Am I remembering correctly? If so, did someone take you up?

I am fascinated by the idea of, and looking for, a something that is to Kafka/Kinesis as SQLite is to Postgres. That is, a single file/folder, in-process event streaming data store.
