I'm enjoying how Pauline Narvas has answered lots of questions with "I'll send you a blog post I've written about this", it's nice to see someone other than me doing it π #WiTNotts
YES! Pauline Narvas's comment at #WiTNotts about having blogging influence the quality/length of her Pull Request descriptions resonates massively with me. Since doing more blogging / technical writing I've found that my written communication has improved greatly - or maybe it's just more verbose π
Really lovely to hear how much of an inspiration Pauline Narvas's blog has had on building communities and inspiring folks to do things #WiTNotts
"Blogging is more (to me) than the amount of views per month.. it can be whatever you want it to be" - great point by Pauline Narvas about how when blogging you shouldn't try to fit the niche - it's something I try to practice too by writing for myself under "blogumentation" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ #WiTNotts
Just pushed a fix for meetup-mf2.jvt.me as it's not handling the Online events very well - it should now respond a bit better
Been a great kickoff from Anna Dodson and @LittleHelli to start #WiTNotts and we're about to have to Pauline Narvas's talk Thoughts to Pixels: the impact of blogging

Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does itβs job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).Felix (@c1truz_)Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:26 +0000
Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - we're online only on Zoom, and I'll share the link in the Tech Nottingham Slack for Nottingham folks https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-UpVd9JZeVzx6
I'd planned to get my haircut a couple of days before the #coronavirus self isolation, but didn't get a chance. 20 days in we called it, so Anna Dodson cut my hair tonight π± we're both super impressed!

Putting my washing away while pair programming with a colleague - this is peak working from home!
An interesting move - considering recent controversy on the platform and how it was looking to monetise, hopefully for the best?
It'll be of no surprise to any of you who know me as a #PersonalWebsite and #blogging advocate that I would be very much looking forward to Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts this Thursday! And as it's remote, hopefully more of you can join!

One good thing I sincerely hope will come of this is dramatic increases in pay for those traditionally low-paid roles that have been absolutely vital for our survival during #coronavirus - now more than ever can we see the true value of all sorts of people's work.Tessa Cooper (@tessacooper5)Mon, 23 Mar 2020 22:37 GMT

Great thing about my new Bluetooth headphones? I can pace while attending meetings, because I don't exactly get as much exercise as pre-#coronavirus home working! At least when my video is off, that is

The world will never be the same after we recover from COVID-19. Every time the government said they couldn't find money for a program that benefited citizens, a lie. Every time your manager said your job couldn't be done from home, a lie.Raymahl Sutton (@raymahl)Sat, 21 Mar 2020 21:10 GMT
