Such a lovely day it would be a shame to be stuck indoors...
@simon whilst i can't see the top tweet this is probably the story... https://twitter.com/ekansa/status/1137052076062650368
@astronomer_mark I have grape juice in the freezer from our back garden vines last summer, thats up next. Also got some Meed on the go, which is a new one.
My first homebrew beer in years and my first attempt at an All Grain brew. We'll find out in 2 weeks whether it was a success or not....
@astronomer_mark sorry was out all day, sure thing!

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:
What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.
My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.
It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀

Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. The current layoffs were orchestrated by a hedge fund (TCI Fund).
This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.
Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.
@mhall119 blogs and conference talks with use cases. I've driven by so many of both and just logged them as being cool for when I find a use case, then loop back around when the time is right.
@brody literally my first email ever to my .jpl.nasa.gov inbox was a recruiter cold email 🤯
This 0C weather is absolutely messing with my bike training. Supposed to be doing a bunch of zone 4 or 5 stuff and its so cold I struggle to get and maintain zone 3.... 
@prophetkristy they did crack out the prayers though, so there is that... 🤷♂️
@Ryanteck oh yeah, thats completely legit, who doesn't need 6 guns?

Just tried the #ChatGPT version of googling your own name and well this was the result… Pretty much everything here is out of date and the whole second half is completely wrong. I have never worked at the WSJ or Chicago Tribune or written a book…
@adamjameschristensen I had so many full sheets of ply that I use "one day" I had to do something so I don't just have to keep carrying plywood around my garage when we wanted to access something... now this carries a bunch of half sheets along with off cuts and other bits and pieces
Continued on my woodworking quest this weekend and knocked up this lumber cart, can now move around in the garage which is great and wheel it outside when the weather doesn't suck!
@heckinteagan I would happily take a 4 day week over unlimited PTO, not that I currently have either 😄
