The new question Ruby conferences have to add to their registration forms now (in addition to t-shirt size) is "do you need a Ruby passport?"

Is there out there any **reliable** app to manage Windows devices (parental control) that is not Norton? Something I can control from my phone even when I am on the other side of the globe.

When there’s something strange In the apps at work Who is on-call? Aurelie!! (It’s always me. Like al-ways.)

Not sure you’ll guess what I listened to today

People leave bad HOAs, not bad condos.

Cooking planning for Thanksgiving. Nothing happened as planned.

Your annual reminder that your cranberry sauce should be ready by now.

10 years ago today we were certainly above Greenland, in a plane on our way to San Francisco just the 4 of us, our clothes, video games, and ziplock bags full of little cars and Legos. What a ride it has been 🧡

I bought Feastables!! We were supposed to be the cool house in the street. Only 3 kids came. I am so done with Halloween…

Yeah! Join Aurelie at sfruby.com ! But like do it NOW because prices go up on Thursday! 😱

Woke up, AWS on fire, I am on-call, might go back to bed.

This pickle ball thing is so loud…

It’s funny how very small sentences can provide much information. For example, if I say “my hip hurts”, it gives you an idea of my age and also what’s the weather like outside.

And I think peak French music was 90s and 00s French rap.

You’re 39, everything is fine, healthy as hell. You turn 40 and suddenly your teeth are plotting against you, your back hurts, and your knee is in pain even though it’s your son who got hit.

Meanwhile, I wrote my first test with Jasmine. Honestly I thought it was just the name of a birth control pill until yesterday.

Yesterday I brought my 40 yo self to a concert, alone, and it was actually a ton of fun. I sang awfully bad and loud, but who cares since nobody knew me? Nobody likes what I listen to and I never find anybody to come with me, so from now on, I will just go by myself.
