Hey! I haven’t forgotten you all… Been on a social media break. Didn’t really have anything worthwhile to share. Except you might have recently seen me in the media talking about gambling reform in New South Wales… Had to withdraw from the awesome coding course due to ill health but I’m back well again and doing YouTube videos… https://youtube.com/@DearPeter1 Take care, I hear things are getting a little too eXciting in Birdland but I feel safe here, I’m also over on 🧵🪡 as coffeewithbelindadownes ❤️☕️🔔💪

Hi, future landlord. So you want to see my last 3 months of bank statements on top of 100 points of ID?

How about YOU SHOW ME…

3 months of your social media posts, so I can see your attitude to community, plus 3 months of bank statements so I can see that you can afford urgent repairs.

Not for an assignment but a question I would rather ask people rather than Google or AI: Is one (1) a number? And what is a number? #Linguistics #Maths #Math #Coding
Hey #Linguist #Linguistics friends, does anyone have a link to the NOT computer algorithm for detecting natural languages? I think there was one that worked with sounds and another that worked with syntax… Just thought I’d ask.
Passed my first #Coding assessment! 😅
Homework for tonight’s Coding tutorial is to watch a #Python video that I’ve previously put on as background noise when about to fall asleep… Not sure about my white noise choices now… Should prob get another coffee before I start watching it again for info 😂☕️📚
Me to my flatmate tonight: I’m doing a video presentation for an assessment due at midnight…
Flatmate: *starts washing machine in laundry and doesn’t tell me*
He’s usually a great flatmate so I’ll let it pass and do it a bit later… 😅😎
If you'd like to know what I do when I'm not coding my heart out... Here's an interview I did that was released a couple of days ago (Okay back to my assignment I go): https://news.castle.org.au/episode-7-the-power-of-language-to-break-down-barriers?fbclid=IwAR3anfxAHjng8B9kzeMfFL125NH9hLU6s9pjV4fTUdPRYpLbCEBhLC9VnzU #ReframingFacialDifference #Language #Disability #Linguistics
Episode 7: The power of language to break down barriers

Our special guest, linguist Belinda Downes, joins us to share her expertise and provide valuable insights on how we can improve our communication skills with others.

Birdland has been cute over the last few days… They know I’m #coding a website… but they think it’s my activist website coffeewithbelindadownes.com - so I am getting sooo much advice about its poor design. Yes it could be better, but it’s designed with a drag and drop service… When I can I will code my own site. But I’m batting away so many people wanting me to hire them to ‘recode’ my site… in my DMs… just be direct… Ugh. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks for listening to my vent… ❤️☕️🔔💪
Preparing for my all-Saturday uni workshop by making myself a one litre coffee: I’m off to build some websites and #code me a new career 😎❤️☕️🔔💪 #ReframingFacialDifference
