I joked yesterday that "A guy punched a horse and now Sydney gets 6 more weeks of locked-down winter". [1]

Reports are that it'll be only 4 weeks.

[1] Groundhog Day reference. "... if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks".

[FOSS/Work Toot]

As part of my work with Project OCEAN (a collaboration between Google and the University of Vermont Complex Systems Center), we're running a series of workshops to create and define a set of schema to define what contributions we value in open source communities.

Remember hatrack stuff I rant about occasionally? Now I work with a team of experts, and we want your help to work on a common lexicon of stuff in FOSS that's not just code.

SIGNUP!

Happy Monday, Cloud Island!

I have a new nemesis and it's name is mini ham and cheese croissants

So tasty. So accessible when I only to go one store to get all my groceries. So quickly gone.

(removed last toot, apparently not a new thing, and my screnshot made me realise how much I don't use my saved playlists)

I've just typed "cuntionality" so I think I need to stop for a bit.

A combination of cold fingers and autocorrect lead me to have the phrase "deploy to the coven" and now I'm thinking about raven-based deployment schemes.

I'm trying the "faux commute" method of doing a walk outside before and after my workday.

It was great. I saw many doggos.

News: Antivaxxers 'barged' their way into a mass vaccination centre and abused staff in Melbourne

Me: we have mass vaccination centres? neat!

(edited: I would very much like to be safely vaccinated but I am not currently eligible.)

What is "TADA"?

The most immediate thing when I see the GitHub Copilot preview (https://twitter.com/github/status/1409883156333879300):

Oh, Microsoft own GitHub, and that's why they can use the TADA sound.

I got cited today :3
