Last night the straps on a 26 year old guitar bag I have for my Tele broke. Luckily I caught the guitar and no harm done.

I was looking for a new one online and I have no words for the review I just read...

51 movies in my decades' old watchlist. Just watched one of them. I guess that's going to be my 2025 resolution. To bring it down to ZERO!

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

O mais descarado foi ver aqueles que tem uma agenda política por trás a queixarem-se de que a flotilha não deveria merecer tanta atenção mediática, enquanto não falavam de outra coisa todo o santo dia.

I have a feeling that this event is going to be awesome! I will be speaking about Synthetic Monitoring at @oredev.org ! See you there?

I'm baffled how Google Meet still doesn't show the event name from Google Calendar inside the meeting. Because who wouldn't want to play the thrilling game of 'Guess if I'm in the right meeting' while hopping between tabs?! 🙃

Andamos para aqui a debater o que é ou não uma renda moderada (que para 2300 euros nem tem debate) quando o ponto real é só um: quiseram dar uma valente borla fiscal aos senhorios.

Of course I had to come to Canada 🇨🇦 to see pastéis de nata being served at the hotel breakfast buffet 😂

HUSTEF is taking place a few days later - an excellent conference in the testing space - but it's in Budapest Oct 14 to 16. hustef.com

Just mentioning it in case you can still tweak your QA's travel arrangements to head over there...

Argh! 😨 They sent out an email to folks around 10 days ago. I imagined that the site would reflect that info but I should've pinged you here! Apologies. 😟

Saw this talk yesterday at Targeting Quality 25 and it gave me a lot to think about regarding guardrails for AI systems, by @jigyasa-grover.bsky.social and @rishabh-misra.bsky.social
Definitely recommend for anyone interested!

It's not my talk. It's Ana Duarte's "Test Documentation: Why so Technical?"

Speaking at Targeting Quality today in Cambridge, Ontario. I'm enjoying a talk on technical documentation and of course @maritvandijk.bsky.social gets mentioned! 🙌🏻
