I went for an hour’s brisk walk at dusk, covering 5.4k. The sunset was nice and there was a pale moon hanging over the fields. Round the back of the rugby ground I saw two teams of gentlemen in their 50s and 60s (maybe older as well?) playing a very slow game and it made me smile.

I’m off to campus on the 8am train so I’m going to wash and blow dry my hair before bed so I don’t have to get up stupidly early to do it tomorrow morning.

This evening I finished A Line You Have Traced by Roisin Dunnett, a time travel story intertwining the lives of an understimulated married woman in the Jewish East End of London in the 1930s, a hard partying contemporary queer 20 something, and a gardener recruited for a mysterious project in a kind of hopepunk future. I enjoyed it very much #bookstodon #AmReading

I know someone who had polio as a child.

She has been crippled all her life. One of her legs doesn't function well, so walking is very difficult for her, even with the assistance of a cane and a leg brace.

The impairment of her leg has caused severe back pain, which doctors have tried to alleviate with surgery, with little success.

She is my age. She contracted polio right before the vaccine to prevent it came along.

Aquests dies estic esborrant els tuits al meu antic compte d'X. Ha trigat, havia d'eliminar més de 50.000 publicacions (incloent RTs) des del 2009.

Doncs unes poques han fallat en provar d'esborrar-les i una d'elles té aquesta captura de l'obra mestra de @pirates.cat: Llum, foc, corrupció.

A new BSDCan video has been posted:
Effective Bug Reports, Code Change Requests, and Conference Proposals by Michael Dexter @dexter

youtu.be/iaYL_NlU444

Open Source is participatory and BSD Unix is no exception, with its own unique development workflows and events. Bug reporting, code proposing, and event participation are fundamental elements of the BSD Unix community and despite appearances, are open to anyone to participate.

This talk will take a pragmatic tour of effective engagement on these topics with real-world examples and tips for:

Bug reports that are actionable and inspire attention

Code change requests and reviews that are more likely to review and acceptance

Conference proposals that stand out, accurately set expectations, and are more likely to be accepted

The secret is that all of that all of these are fundamentally indistinguishable: You are tasked with marketing your idea to others and must show your work, justify your points, demonstrate sincerity, and ultimately convince others of your initiative, regardless of its size.

“So we packed our bags and ran for it.

“There were five of us girls. The watchman saw us and began to call us back, and all of them ran back, except for me.
