Saw lots of ravens today. I love ravens. #notagothhonest
I am excited (and nervous) to announce the first Ada's Twitch Tech talks.
It's at 6.30pm BST (1.30pm EST, 10:30am PT) on Wednesday 6th June.
The topic, as chosen by twitter poll, is 🥁🥁🥁 Isomorphic Rendering with HyperHTML. 🌟✨
Bing seems to respond to my searches for PSQL commands with T-SQL documentation. I'm not going to switch database platform just because you have a wonky search engine, Microsoft!
Another week or so gets blogged: https://scottbw.wordpress.com/2018/05/28/occasional-update-21st-28th-may/
Thought I'd catch up on some marking for the uni course that I teach part time. Moodle is down. So is email. So is the university website...
Still weekblogging. Sort of. https://scottbw.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/occasional-update-1st-18th-may/
"Don't feel guilty about not contributing to open source" by Julia Evans

…and some reasons why they do, or do not contribute.
This is nice. :3
It is one thing to invite people who are in underrepresented groups, it's another to make it clear they'll want to be there and be able to feel good in the long term.
Whether you are running a team, a meet up, a conference or an entire company. Be inclusive.
Do you meet the following criteria?
✔️ Educator
✔️ Can be in London, England on Thursday 24th May
✔️ Interested in testing out MoodleNet prototypes
If so, get in touch! (we'll compensate you for your time)
(please boost to reach corners of the Fediverse I haven't yet explored!)
off to the annual meeting of the Cetis co-op - should be fun!
Just found out Elder Scrolls Online has a location called "Reticulated Spine"
I've been doing a "side gig" lately teaching and coaching foundation-level uni students on their first IT projects. I ended up doing lots of stuff on user testing, and most of the students have done user testing and user research as a major part of their project. Do CS/IT/SE courses in general get students to do user testing these days? Just curious.
Hey everyone, Moodle is looking for a Technical Architect to assist me on the MoodleNet project I'm leading.
https://moodle.workable.com/jobs/711777
I'd like to encourage applications from far and wide, so please consider applying.
Note that need to be within five hours of UK time - or be willing to shift your hours to accommodate.
Please boost, so that awesome, suitably-qualified people on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse see this opportunity! https://social.coop/media/HKVLGA-LEL_w9FTKxCg

Finally released HtmlCleaner 2.22 this week!
Dunno what the bamfdaemon does, but I am glad my computer has a bad ass mother forking daemon in it.
