Solving problems by day, petting animals by night. Equal parts curiosity, logic, and sarcasm. Spreadsheet whisperer. On a never-ending quest for the perfect work/life balance (suggestions welcome)
#anniversary
Yesterday 27 years ago was my first day at #w3c and I happily joined @danield who then was my boss.
This was my first real job after a few years working during school holidays to earn some pocket money, and temping for a few months to gain some experience when school was over.
Since then I moved laterally (and upwards too!), learned new skills and met/worked with wonderful people. It does not feel like 27 years!

W3C seeking community input for TAG appointments by @koalie

The W3C Team is responsible for complementing the TAG election by actively seeking candidates for appointment to the TAG in order to support a diverse and well-balanced TAG, including diversity of technical background, knowledge, and skill sets.

W3C is seeking input from the wider community for appointment to the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG). See more including what skills are being sought at:

We're losing a dynamic, capable young person for entirely sensible reasons from her POV. But she'll be missed. Unless you are/know the person who could take her place? You could be *anywhere* in the world. We're good on gender equality and LGBTQ, less good on ethnic and disability diversity (not bad, just not great). https://www.gs1.org/about/careers/programmes-projects-assistant-manager (Pls boost)

Happy Windows 10 Apocalypse Day! In many countries, it's the end of life for the OS. But you don't have to dump your machine or pledge a kidney to Microsoft! Here's how to install Zorin OS (based on Ubuntu, designed to be a very shallow learning curve for Windows users) plus Vivaldi browser. All you need for snooping-free laptop longevity! https://brucelawson.co.uk/2025/goodbye-windows-10-hello-zorin-os/
