Hello nerds. Next month I’m going to be at @oggcamp in Manchester and I’ll be giving a talk on the main stage. If you want to learn something about Infrastructure as Code then come along, sit down, and listen intently.
You will be allowed to buy me a pint afterwards.
What's more exciting than infrastructure? Not much. But what's more exciting than repeatable, reusable infrastructure based on code? Sweet FA, that's what. Which is why Charlie O'Hara will show you how to build and maintain your own local infrastructure using nothing but OSS tools and a git repo.
Had a long weekend in North Wales. Drove around with a Meshcore radio device but barely saw any data. Managed to get a couple of messages back to a friend in Huddersfield but delivery acknowledgements couldn't get back to me.
Looks like there is coincidentally a lot more meshcore activity in the North of England, where I live!
Although I do think I need to learn a bit more about how it works as I'm not sure my testing was the best (mostly just watching the packet logs!)
Just back from a fab long weekend in North Wales.
Started with a wander around the Great Orme at Llandudno on Friday (tiny lambs! tiny kids! tiny balancing sheep!), then fish'n'chips (mandatory) and a night in the Conwy valley. On Saturday, we started with a walk at Rhaeadr Fawr/Aber Falls, followed by lunch in Beaumaris and a lovely evening walk at Niwbwrch/Newborough Forest & beach. It was super low tide so we got to go over to the island and watch the sunset 🤩
I've been thinking about Tiny Balancing Sheep (TBS) & how my liking for them highlights one of the things I dislike about AI art (bear with me here).
I was on the lookout for an opportunity to snap myself a TBS this week. I failed (I will persevere).
But I could MAKE one really easily. I have loads of suitable photos & am a dab hand at editing.
But it would be lacking ALL the joy of finding a TBS & that's where all the value of the photo lies. It's the process.
