New Mic Who DIS

[Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Eighteen]

I’m giving a talk next week with Software Circus and I could not be more SQUEEE.

I saw them back in June when they did an Alice in Wonderland theme and it was just BRILLIANT.

I think every sentence in this post is going to end with all CAPS.

But first the news:

The conference itself is around cloud infra thingsess, but then they have a theme that they absolutely embrace from the speakers to the tracks to the talks to the marketing to the social events – and next week the theme is HORROR.

If you know me, you know I’m ludicrously STOKED.

Holy Hell, Today

[Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Thirteen]

I submitted a code for Equinix’s virtual hackathon. And spoke at Fedora Women’s Day about being non-binary and talking about mental health and my Fedora story. And then I streamed a new escape room game.

It’s time for bed.

But first the news:

#WorthIt

But.

Yay For Toastmasters!! !

[Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Twelve]

Just realized JUST NOW that I’m speaking tomorrow night at Fedora Women’s Day 2020.

I applied when I was feeling fine, but then the acceptance and follow ups and nudges arrived when I was very sick.

But first the news:

I’m okay now so I guess I’m speaking tomorrow night!

The Island of Doctor Goorse Except Not

[Dutch Lock Down Day One Hundred Ninety Three]

I had every intention of doing an escape room on Saturday night; more specifically, Escape Room: UNLOCK! Escape Adventures The Island of Doctor Goorse, except when I unwrapped the cards, it well and truly was a two player ONLY game.

Damnit.
