How many paid ads did you get to vote for Israel today during #eurovision?
Didn't even say Israel, just "vote for number 4"...

Yesss! I had a weekend where I managed to do everything I planned for it. It's the first time this has happened in 2025!
Can't wait to remember everything I forgot to do tomorrow morning 🙃

Had checkin with the students this week. I gave them the option of doing it in person or remote. 8/10 choose online, so I sat in the corner of this wayyy too big classroom most of the day and joined online meetings 😅

I'm walking on clouds right now! Met a mother who visited CoderDojo a lot years ago. Learned that her daughter is now studying an engineering degree🤩
Also, I was told that I've been used as an example by the daughter to argue for why it's okay to fail exams😅 I don't mind having that as my legacy!

Improvisation is great... Until you're nervous and it just feels like you're wasting everyone's time 😢
Held a class today, and I did get some stuff across, but overall I feel pretty shitty about it. I am however motivated to fully prepare for the next class now!

So... I have a presentation at working in less than two hours. I have done it a couple of times before... So, I decided to remake the entire deck 🙃
My excuse is that this time, it's primarily for an online audience compared to in person the previous times. I don't have an excuse for being so late.

I can happily report that, once again, the worst part about talking about uncomfortable feelings with my friends is the worry before I actually do it.
It's still scary, and I should do it a lot more, but it was a small victory for me.

Churches scare me. Being inside one, exciting in that space... It makes me really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if I fully understand it yet.

The yearly(-ish) Billie Eilish interview is such a great format, that also makes me feel hope.

People are more complicated than tech!
And then there are some days where they’re both complicated and your brain hurts.

I've had a couple of weeks where I have had trouble focusing. And I think... It might be because I don't have a goal, a dream. Sounds great, right? I have figured out how to get back focus! No... Now I'm instead learning about the anxiety of not having a goal at 30 😔 let's gooooo

I'm thinking of making some (optional) visual themes available for software I'm writing. What "holidays" would be nice to include? So far, I've thought of Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, and Pride. I want a nice spread and keep it fairly limited, but I also know I'm very naive in my knowledge 🫣

It feels difficult to be a good human.. It's easy to be a decent one, and no excuses not to be. But I've lately started to feel like it's hard to be a *good* human.

I did light controlling & designing for theatre shows and concerts during high school and university.
Lost that job because I missed a concert.. I was in Ireland visiting an Azure datacenter and had forgotten all about it. (I've gotten a better at avoiding double booking)

I'm a little boring... Ive been a develper since I was 20.
That said to get through uni I helped delivery fresh bread to shops early on Saturday mornings, cleaned the bakery,and worked at Tescos for a few years. I got told off for memorising the codes and typing because scanning was boring 🤣

Cranking the text-size waaaay up on my phone has been a great way of limiting my phone use.. and creating more github issues for my colleagues 😅 #a11y

Today feels like an unappropriately good day. I know tomorrow I'm going to realize all the stuff I should've done. But I'm going to try my darnest to keep this feeling for as long as I can 🤗

The class I teach next year; they are probably going to be the first group of people that will fully get to know me by my new name. That feels exciting!

Next year I'll be teaching a 7 week introduction course on backend development, I'm so insanely excited 😃
Nervous AF, but this feels like something where I have enough time to plan and prepare.
