Before pressing "Send" on your email, take 2 seconds to think:

Could you schedule it for tomorrow morning instead ?

Does the recipient really need to have it before then ?

💿 updated k3s,
🧹 tidied up some cabling on home rack.

All set for a #medialab installation !

Next up:

Lars has been hard at work exploring how to integrate CI primitives on top of the Radicle protocol.

Here's the status quo, as of the end of this year 🗓️

If you're involved with making software, I'd invite you to join the #SoftwareMakers Zulip:

Give its *simpler* UI a chance to show you why it offers **superior** UX to:
- have on-topic discussions (by allowing you to move messages 🤯 ),
- properly reply to others' messages,
- navigate content (did someone say "keyboard shortcuts" ? )

The number of times I struggled against Discord... 😣 (but, it's built for gamers, I get it)

Well... I am now in love with #Zulip !
And after a couple of years using it, there's no going back. It's just one of those things.

I don't think #Slack and #Discord are the right tools for software developer communities any more.

There, I said it!!

The number of times I wanted to look for an old thread in Slack, where a colleague had shared a useful tip... ☹️ (only to find that it's not "in the last 10K messages")

I thought the set of #HiFi speakers I'm looking to get are expensive.

Then I discovered there are speaker **cables** (yes, #cables) that cost more than they do.

I feel better now.

(Keywords, for the daring: "AudioQuest Robin Hood" , "Shunyata Research" ). 💸

I watched this video and I must now find a way to stop myself wanting an automated DVD ripping robot…

I have no idea how to do that, so please do yourselves a favour and DON'T watch this video:

Nice to see some familiar faces & meet new ones over at #JFall !

Always inspiring to speak to folks who care about Open Source. It really makes working on #radicle worth it all the more!!

Thanks to #NLJUG for organising such a large event and being great hosts!

Hope to be back again some day! o/

Wheels down #AMS for #JFall !

Really excited to meet folks from #NLJUG these couple of days.

If you contribute/maintain Open Source, I'd love your thoughts on whether it's time we found a better home for #FLOSS - as a #PublicGood.

I think that home can be #Radicle. Join my talk to hear why! ;)

2025 now marks 10 years of running #OpenSpace events for me: learning, teaching, growing, making friends. Whether you code, experiment, or mentor, open‑space lets you dive deep.

Show up - and you’re already the right person!

Let's catch up in some #SoCraTes event soon! 🙌

2020‑21 = #COVID pause – a reminder that real value lives in‑person: a #TDD chat while swimming, a coding kata at sunset in #Crete. Since 2023 #SoCraTesCrete stands on its own: craft‑focused talks, passionate debates, hard questions.
October 23, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Our first iteration saw "just" ~10 people. But the magic wasn’t the headcount,it was the deep convos and lasting connections over a multi‑day open‑space – still the best part a decade later! By 2018 #Agile broadened, I drifted to #SoftwareCrafters, then #SoCraTes appeared and #SoCraTesCrete was born
October 23, 2025 at 4:52 PM
A Decade of #OpenSpace #Unconferences 🎉 Back in 2014 #JCrete sparked a simple idea: “Could I bring more Open Space to the world?” With 2 more founders from 2 other countries, we launched #AgileCrete – a playground for coaches, Scrum Masters and devs to swap ideas about everything agile.

Hey o/

Thanks for reaching out, but I'm afraid this position has been filled.

Good luck with your search!

One of our maintainers, @fintohaps.bsky.social, will be speaking at the Ubuntu Summit this week in London!

He will be talking about "The Future Home of Open Source"

Hint: it may involve Radicle 😏

Dear @bridgefy.bsky.social ,

What’s the point of “messages without internet” if you’re asking me to sign up for an account, **especially** an #apple or #google account!?

No, thanks.
And goodbye! o/

I was reminded today just how much time commuting can take off of someone’s life…

Hooray for #remoteWork !

Hooray for employers that can evaluate workers with criteria beyond “office presence” !

Hooray for businesses that don’t need a “return to the office” policy to thrive!
