Day off at work today followed by at week or so of not doing too much due to thanks giving holidays so its time to catch up on those projects I've been meaning to get done and havent.
First up is finishing off the web crawler we wrote for a project and then never open sourced and shipped.
Secondly is catching up on a bunch of 2/3 done websites.
Then I've got a trip to Guildford to finish up a portal for UK planning application data.
I've got some drone testing to do to calibrate the multispectral camera I have.
A few short videos.
I'm sure there will be more. Busy few weeks.
Hot Take
I have noticed without an algo feeding me terrible tweets. I have far less hot takes and that can only be a good thing. 😎

Everyone please be aware that the service we used to use that provided tickers went down and doesnt plan to go back up.. This unfortunately slows down the default theme.
As such I switched the default theme to the no-ticket theme and this works just fine. However im not sure it will help for people already signed up on the server.
To fix the problem please go intto your preferences and change the theme to the no-ticket theme.

The other day I added preliminary M20 SHERLOC ACI calibration support to Mars Raw Utils master branch. Includes flats and margin cropping so far.
Elno/Birdapp
I find it amazing that Elno after sacking half the staff then asks the other half to work crazy long hours on behalf of the worlds richest bro or they can also leave.
Hopefully the majority tell him to get stuffed and head off to somewhere new....

Enjoying a few days back in the office before travelling down to Guildford for a few days next week.
Quite looking forward to being at home for a while so I can get back to my boats, garden, cycling etc all of which has been horribly neglected the last few months.

OK, so we're nearing the new launch window of #ArtemisI (which opens at 10:04 p.m. Tues PT or 1:04 a.m. Wed ET)... let's take a little time to celebrate the awesomeness that is the Deep Space Network that will not only allow #NASA to track and communicate with the mission and its secondary payloads, but ALSO keep tabs on the dozens of other missions exploring the solar system right NOW: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/how-nasas-deep-space-network-supports-the-agencys-missions #DSN #scheduling #deepspace #communications

Well! I really enjoyed working at #InfluxDB on Telegraf. But all good things must come to an end. Time to move on and find something new to occupy my time. 🌴
BTW, anyone hiring? 😄
Sat in my hotel room reading up on the #NASA #JPL SPOC (https://github.com/nasa-jpl/SPOC) Machine Learning model for #Mars Rovers and their ability to classify Soil and Objects using their onboard computers. Very cool stuff.

I suppose I should do an #introduction - I''m Jorge and I'm an open source community manager, I'm a bit of a cloud nerd. In the past I've worked on Kubernetes and Ubuntu, these days doing cloudcustodian.io.
Looking forward to hanging out with ya'll!
I like to talk about #linux #kubernetes #f1 #destiny2
