Awricht troops, how’s it gawin this fine weekend? Lookin a wash-oot, but there’s some fine happenins Ah’m sure onyway
Oan the train back frae Glesga the noo, been at DATA:Scotland the day. Loads ae lernin, an sessions aboot big data an architecture. Then a few pints in Waxy’s, slainte!
Few plans this weekend, pentlands, a swim, install mah new ssd an install EndeavourOS fer mah main machine? Wurld o tanks? Finish the Silmarillion?
Fuuuuck me the mention of Waxy’s has flung me back into my memories. I’ve played on the wee stage there
Nice, what do you play yourself then?
I was the guitarist in a blues/punk band. Turns out I don’t like playing stages, but the band was a good bunch of folk so it was worthwhile
Plenty to keep you busy!!
Was DATA Scotland a conference?
Aye, loads of sessions and learning. Good CPD for any level of developer
Good to keep your brain ticking over! Did you get any freebies?
Just a laptop sticker for me this year
Better than nothing!!
Meeting some friends for a celebratory dinner (and board games) tomorrow.
Had a wander today and found out about some free events that might be fun to attend / help out with.
Nice to volunteer your time, I wish I had more to give
Which board games are on the cards?
The Others, Tournament at Camelot, A Fistful of Meeples, The Crew: Mission Deep Sea. Probably won’t get them all played but that’s the line-up.
Ooh, I don’t think I know any of these. Looks like I have some investigating to do. Thank you for the reading list (of a sort), and enjoy whichever ones you do play!
Bought a labubu - unboxed, not made of money - for my sister’s birthday next month because she’s a zoomer who jumps on online trends. Turns out she doesn’t like them and now I’ve got this hell toy arriving in the post next week.
You’ll be able to sell it on! The kids in my class love them and are always talking about them!!
We’ve got pals who are pregnant with a daughter so maybe we can annoy them by gifting it to her
It was my birthday this week. Absolutely pished on good whisky with my siblings. It’s a simple pleasure but one I value deeply
Happy birthday!!! Hope you had the best time xx
Thank you! I have been blessed with the company of friends and family, and I’ve eaten heaps of excellent food
Sounds absolutely perfect!
Ooh, what whiskies?
Just the one this time. I went into the nearest good shop for it and just gave them a budget and my preferences. They pointed me towards the GlenAllachie 12, and I think it was an excellent suggestion. Super big and bold flavour, like a whisky counterpart to a malbec in a lot of ways
Hard week, glad its done. Going to sleep all weekend and try and fix my sore throat!! Might go to a food festival thing thats on!
Sore throats doing the rounds at school here too. Hope it’s mild!
Think its a cold with a hint of tiredness/rundown-ness!!
