π· From conference lights to city sights.
Our lens-focused dev @regularsteven.bsky.social turned Prague into a photo quest featuring gothic spires, glass reflections, moody alleys and one upside-down horse. π΄
All within walking distance of the WebExpo venue, Lucerna Palace.
The reason it's so special is due to shitty news in recent months. My 42yo bro has a rare terminal brain cancer, then mum got a bowel cancer diagnosis (it's manageable). Michael, though - it's really rough and not fair. If you can donate, it really helps runmelbourne26.grassrootz.com/curebraincan...
If this doesn't make you smile, nothing will. I flew from Canary Islands, Spain to Melbourne on a surprise mission for Mum and my brother for Christmas. Mum's reaction was, well, not under-stated...

I use AI tools every day. Here's a use-case I didn't expect to be so tricky.
We want a new custom-built cabinet and are talking to a carpenter about it - this is what we gave him.
The amount of back-and-forward to just make sure all doors were in place with correct dimensions was long.

Nice end of the day in Las Palmas
Photo of Michael Wright who is fundraising for brain cancer research. Since being diagnosed with a terminal cancer, heβs doing everything he can to keep fit in mind and body.
In personal news that couldnβt really hit harder, my younger brother has been diagnosed with a terminal brain cancerβ¦ itβs truly fucked. So, heβs running his way through it and any support is very appreciated. runmelbourne26.grassrootz.com/curebraincan...
Photo of our cat Charlie on a plane, wearing a harness while wrapped in a blanket
Travelling with Charlie isnβt easy, but heβs such a good little boy in pretty stressful situations. Think this might be flight 7? The coolest thing is when he arrives, heβs just the boss. He knows where he is, what he wants. In all seriousness, the thing he wants most is to be with us. itβs special
Get RFK Jr. on the case. Itβs probably autism.

Using the Project Indigo app is a game changer. These are 100% iPhone 16 photos. The built in image stacking and post processing workflow to generate merged dng files is super powerful. Well done @adobe.com
I'm correcting (automated) transcripts and going through your talk - you've got some awesome zingers :) You're one of the fun ones! Thank you, and thnx GaragaBand!
@# ... such a boomer ...
I'm working on a blog post for @hola-soy-milk.online who came to @#WebExpo this year. Oh my goodness, she's got some great lines :P So good.
New Apple AirPod Pro 3 photo
Recently put my Sony WF-1000XM5 headphones in the washβ¦ by accident. Replaced them with Apple AirPods Pro 3, and I gotta say the new AirPods are exceptionally good. Like so good. The Sonyβs are fantastic earphones, but these new Apple buds are insane.
If only my ear wax was whiteβ¦
Who listens to credits just hoping for a great Bacon Benedict combo?
π Fun fact: Python wasnβt named after the snake.
When Guido van Rossum created the language in 1989, he chose the name after Monty Pythonβs Flying Circus. The snake vibes came later with the logo, Anaconda, PyPI etc.
So yes, youβre coding in honour of a British comedy show! π

Well, this takes the cake. What next, #gumroad?
Familiar (like many I guess) with The Moldau but this one it new to me. I got a bit too catch up on I guess, but thanks for the background info.
Looks like I need to head along to ΕΓp π. VyΕ‘ehrad has a pretty authentic charm, especially compared to the disney-facation around. Important to respect it.
I didnβt mean it from a societal or historical standpoint, more that itβs not super-central kinda thing.

Some Sunday stroll snaps through VyΕ‘ehrad, Prague. This is one place locals seem to know, but it's a tiny bit outta the way. Lovely spot, great views :)

Just got a new iPhone. I had the first few (as in, the 1st 2G one, 3G, 3Gs) have been on Android since. Gotta say, the onboarding with my Mac and iPad in the Apple ecosystem was INSANELY GOOD. iPhone 16 Pro. Feels much nicer in the hand compared to my Galaxy S23 Ultra.

What a delightful question! Yes, thank you for asking, I would like to use my default browser.
If only I could do this in other apps. Android should mandate this feature.
90+ sessions. Constant updates. A million moving parts. π€―
How does WebExpo keep it all running? @regularsteven.bsky.social codes his way through impossible problemsβfrom Python tricks to AI-powered video production
Get a peek behind the curtain in his talk!
Dunno if this is still the case, but I recall hearing that a cinema revenue stream is the candy bar, not the tickets.
My mum had a fall on wet floor in a Coles supermarket where a worker was moving frozen goods and ice melted. No caution signs. Broken arm. She went back to follow up the next day. They said "are you the lady in the CCTV who was wearing thongs (flip-flops)". Wow.
That says A LOT. Heartless.

This was a bit of a project that started with a question:
How many hours of backend web-dev talks are at WebExpo?
We've got the data, but never had it in place to answer such a question. Now we can, for any WebExpo topic :-)

Seriously grand Gran Canaria
Recording devices should always be seen. Cameras in glasses should FRO. Seriously bad.
