Pinned toot

📌 Hi Shop!

I'm Katie, techie and conf speaker/organiser, tooting a bunch about , , , and other things that I get dogpiled on if I toot them on birbsite.

My live-tweeting of conferences won't be here. Check me out on birbsite if that's your thing.

I will try to use Content Warnings on my toots where appropriate.

The sheer amount of procrastination I can achieve by working on non-critical conference stuff is absolutely staggering.

But it's also winter, so I want to do more fibre crafts and read on my kindle while cuddled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of tea.

Me: Hey Postgres, can I do this?

Postres: Before I answer that, how are you? You look hungry have you eaten today?

Me: Uhm, well, I am a bit...

Postgres: *makes me a sandwich, plus me some juice* here you go...

Me: Oh wow, thanks, but I was wanted know...

Postgres: No, I can't do that, but you can try this, this or this. Do think any of those might work?

Me: Ah, ok. Yeah, that'll work. Actually that's probably better than was doing...

Postgres: Cool!

Oh hey, I'm running a conference and we just opened our call for proposals, if that's a thing that interests you

Main social media platform for this is going to be twitter, but if you have questions, ping me here or anywhere :)

Final status report:

Art talk for Thursday is done
ORM talk has a good start on it, including some import scripts for the demo app
Communication talk has had some spitballing, but nothing written down (keeping two talks in my head is one thing, three is a bit much)
Conf stuff has progress, including a top tier sponsor in the process of being signed on💃

Overall not bad progress. Unlisted items included a nice walk yesterday and movie or two.

Thanks for listening, 'shop 💜

I have 40 slides, and css for great code formatting; but I also have watched caught up with the most recent season of Last Week Tonight. :blobuwu:

More ORM talk stuff is slowly getting done. I have an opening at least.

It's really hard making new talks from scratch. You have so much possibility, but nothing to build from.

Currently distracted by youtube.com/watch?v=P8EcS0WYbu

Tea went cold working on talk stuff :(

Unrelated: super happy I've found flickr.com/photos/wocintechcha as opposed to the 'standard' programmer trope stock photos

Chores involved trying to navigate a shopping centre on the only day they are open around two public holidays. Never again.

, then talk time 💪

I haven't forgotten about updating, I've been doing the chores thing.

More updates later! 👜

Finished the Critical Role stream. Current status: Aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Conference stuff: scary stuff done. 💪

Break for lunch and the Critical Role stream in an hour!

Art talk: reworked, adding more llamas. 💯

Added bonus: foundation work pinged for blocking issue.

Current status: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL39

It's peer-pressure-preventing-procrastination hour!

I have a bunch of things I need to get done this long weekend (🗿📆✨)

* Art Talk
* ORM Talk
* Secret Talk
* Conference Stuff

In 24, 48, 72h from now, I will update my status. If I seem like I'm procrastinating, ping me and tell me off 😂

Having spent a copious amount of time making fried rice of the last few weeks, I've discovered that a fried egg works a lot better than scrambling an egg within. The change in texture is nice.

I have been lax in keeping up with the goings on around the 'shop, but to open up mastodon to mostly cat pictures was a great way to return 😻
