The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

Now I'm taking a break, I've given Copilot 5 links (docs, decks, repos) to analyse and come back to me with a summary of what might be important relevant to the Doc I'm working on. It came back with answers before I'd even stood up from my desk. But I'm still taking this 15min break.

I have two big focus tasks to progress so I'm working "with" copilot. It's set a reminder in my calendar for 45mins to tell me to take a break. I have it open alongside Word & I'm giving it notes & questions as I go, that I'll revisit later. I ask it questions like "does this guy still work here?"

As someone who is old(er) I can highly recommend Loop earplugs for making concerts comfortable to attend, sound wise. Can still hear the music clearly but it takes the edge off.

RIP McSteamy

The "only" thing I achieved today was meetings & a doc submission deadline. And that's ok. Sometimes my job is meetings because that's human connection & discussions that move things forward.

Something is buzzing on my desk. Oh wait. It's my desk that is buzzing.

It was dusk. I stopped my car at a red light, wound down my window and gestured to the shocked young "red P plate" driver ... to turn her headlights on. (Red Ps are the first level where you are driving on your own after you've passed your practical test)

To do AI well, they say, you need to justify the ROI to the business. Has anyone successfully justified the ROI of any app or tech stack decision they've made? It's a little more complicated than "put AI chatbot on website - sales go up!"

If computers just worked, IT wouldn't exist. Data center engineering is a real job. Mine is not a comment on the benefit (or lack of) to towns. But data centers do need people to keep everything running. Data centers are places people work. They're just not sitting in cubicles.

come one, come all, show the world all your AI goodness... WAIT: I mean #webassembly goodness, what was I thinking....

Hello brain it is 4:30pm it is not the time to want to start writing an app.

Life of a PowerPoint girl: Morning - I need a deck Afternoon - I'm so sick of looking at this deck Late afternoon - Oooh I made an animated carousel of logos, that looks cool

International Woman's Day IWD is here again. Instead of lunches telling me to lead from the heart, topics like: - How to pay women what they are worth - How to recognise the contributions of women in the workforce - How everyone can organise events, catering & take meeting minutes

Because of a scheduling opportunity, I did pilates this morning instead of this evening. And now I have crashed hard. It was lovely walking out of class but now I'm at my desk, I'm struggling. So much for morning exercise. I think I'll keep it at the end of my work day so it unknots my stress.

It's summer and it only reached 22C today. Where do I apply for a refund? Am I entitled to compensation?

If someone asks you to take over as the librarian for your community Choirs sheet music, do not. I'm drowning in scores and trying to catalogue it all.

I've spent the day writing documentation in markdown and that's looking like my Monday & Tuesday too. Actually loving the feeling of progress and can't wait to bundle this into a pull request.

For the Kubernetes lovers:

Half my time on FB is showing people AI sustainability articles about closed loop water cooling etc. Not to convince them that AI has no impact, but to show them what AI providers are doing about it. This isn't a super sized version of your home PC with the fan raging & your aircon blasting.

So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive Then see the peace in every eye RIP James.

SEAHAWKS Love ya, Seattle. Next trip I might even buy a jersey.

The last 5mins of the Super Bowl lasted 25mins 44 seconds.

Why do some of the people on the sideline wear a vest with a huge red cross ❌ ?

33 seconds of this game has lasted 4:30. Football minutes are like washing machine minutes.

I love that when the Seattle players put their heads together it looks like the Seahawk birds are talking to each other.

Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar thing for Windows. Please go test it and file issues. SHIFT-CLICK on the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey. github.com/shanselman/M...

the bushes were people 😂

Christian Gonzales hit traffic and that's the most Seattle thing about this game.

I was more excited to see Ricky Martin than Bad Bunny. But they were both good.

Having been raised with the All Blacks rugby team, it still amuses me how much safety gear these guys wear.

Wait, how many captains does one team have?

Hi brain, it's 10pm on a Friday, we are NOT building an AI app to analyze saved TikToks.

At the gym: Yes, lift heavier, so strong, can do this. At home tonight: ok, muscles sore, good workout Tomorrow and the next day: everything hurts, can I get a right shoulder transplant?

WTF I'm in TikTok jail.

TIL Taylor Swift's CANCELLED chorus is a great tempo to incline bicep curl 17lb weights to.

You would think my biggest stress today would be a stakeholder meeting but no in fact it's a brewing drama in the school parents facebook group, that I manage.

On 6 Feb 1840, over 500 Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand, with the British. Debates have raged since on the difference between governance and sovereignty, but Kiwis get a public holiday on this day every year. Waitangi Day.

yes! you totally can help the community without coding! It is even in our governance.npmx.dev doc, credits to @astro.build and @eslint.org for the inspo. A lot of the wording have that welcoming @sarah11918.rainsberger.ca spirit :)

this is the first major project where I don't see my avatar in the main github repo section. for the npmx open source adventure, i have finally accepted that I can help more by doing oss without coding. and i'm loving every minute of it :)

I have the opposite of "don't grocery shop when you are hungry." It is "don't grocery shop when you are full because nothing will look appealing for the dinners you need to buy for the rest of the week."

Sorry buddy you can't join my Teams meeting, go play outside.
