Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.
Cheeky Friday #FFConf talk watch? Perhaps @gearsco.de on his personal journey "6 to 16: A child's programming journey" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=anF9...
And that’s it, goodbye #AWSDeepRacer 💔🪦
Unexpected day off work due to change in travel plans, I’m bored and need to find a hobby
Also have completed 24 sudoku’s

When you spend some time looking at re-platforming your blog and realise that not only have you not posted for a long time, the posts you made over the years are really dull
Rory is living his best life
Matt enjoying the post lunch sessions #ffconf
Bella is the leader in my coding cult #ffconf
Today is going well
Just checked - will be my sixth time attending ;-)
Heading back to #FFConf this week for the first time since 2017 (I think this will be my third or fourth one)
Looking forward to it
Changing the password on your work laptop last thing on Friday is never a smart idea
