I’ve developed a taste for high alcohol content beers. 🍺

This one is lovely.

How do I make this stop popping up every. Single. M
eeting. I am so annoyed by this thing and there is no setting to just make it stop. And even more frustrating the "X" icon doesn't even work when you click on it. So. Very. Annoyed.

This was not gratuitous irreverence. It did have a point. I was teaching how the `wc` command works in bash-based shells.

I've been compiling a portfolio of work of mine in the public. After nearly 15 years...it turns out it's quite a bit.

True story, I once worked in Astro, Cloudy and Codey queueing for an outhouse into a presentation at TDX.

Blogged: No One Misses Knocker-Uppers

I was in a training last week. The discussion of job loss from AI was very sanitized. I think we need to be more frank than that.

Pardonnez-moi mes péchés.
Gare du Nord exterior. Front. Looking out from a shop window. Outside a sign for Eurostar to London. In backwards letters on the window you can make out that the shop is a Five Guys hamburger restaurant. The usual Five Guys restaurant signs, except the one that says where the potatoes are from is in French. A five guys milkshake cup with an unused drinking straw next to it.

Tip 1: to avoid looking like a wide eyed tourist, adopt an unaffected facial expression. The less you look like you care, the more Parisian you’ll appear. Here are a couple of me on the metro. (I’m actually super excited, by the way.)

Looking unaffected on the metro. Looking unaffected looking into the distance.

I usually go for an extended MTB ride on a Sunday of 2+ hours. I live five minutes from a great location here in the UK. Every time I ride I get exposed to some unique beauty…sometimes the same location in a different light even. To I leave you with today’s pics. Started gloomy. Then this.

Up early for a short ride this morning. And my first day of being unemployed. Moving forward down a new path.
