I am a traveller (not necessarily in a geographical sense) who seeks, observes … & occasionally finds.

I am a programming software tester, studied physics, survived cancer & live at the seaside. I love the ocean and go swimming a lot.

Oh, and I'm currently (end of 2022) looking for a new software testing/Ruby project.

Languages (in no particular order): English, Ruby, German

Black Americans are 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police than their white peers. If you think I shouldn't say this in the Fediverse because it harshes your vibe too much, you really need to check your priorities.

I actually liked this article after a few minutes - better thought out than I assumed from the title.

I think much of my issue around the Content Warning culture on Mastodon, is the vocabulary. "Content Warning" has a very specific meaning in other contexts. Here, it is more like "Content Filter" or "Subject Line," to give readers a choice to expand or not.

This feels wrong, because of other contexts where majority folks have tried to express trauma or pain at even having to hear about the racism that impacted me. Feels very much like "Ban teaching civil rights, so white kids don't feel bad."

Happy "Lights All Askew" Day! Yep, it was 103 years ago today that the #nytimes ran the ultimate stack of #science headlines, after eclipse observations appeared to support Einstein's theory: ( #Einstein #relativity #scicomm )

Getting Started with Ruby and rbenv on a Raspberry Pi

In preparation of a workshop at Agile Testing Days 2022, I’m setting up a Raspberry Pi as a backup system for participants, to be prepared if things go wrong. Especially one of the first step…
