@aral in case you're sticking around Belgium (hence I saw your name as speaker at this other gig in Belgium later this week) and would be up for getting some ppl together for a site.js intro or something - I'd be happy to organise ad-hoc ^^

Charlotte De Witte techno rave tonight. I wonder if I can still do it, we'll see about that tomorrow ^^

Revisiting an old favourite to wind down tonight.

Fri3d Camp CfP has been softlaunched! http://www.fri3d.be.
It'll be the fourth Fri3d Camp edition, a family friendly hacker/maker/diy camp in Belgium.

Got my brother in law to pick up a @card10badge side LED over the weekend. It's always nice to push ppl in at the deep end of a community they're not familiar with - changing perspectives.
Thanks xhain card10 crew for welcoming him ^^

My 8 year old explained the card/boardgame Dominion to me yesterday and I am still digesting how she actually manages to comprehend this. Totally enjoyed playing the game too though ^^

November. I'm starting to think about my top 5 tracks of this year ... which will once again be though when scrolling through this year's longlist ... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/01aauJrSIF3M21dzH9wR8s?si=HJPTPUWVQ7SuUTX0WPJ8xA

Taken from Marge Piercy's 'woman on the edge of time'.

A few weeks ago my sister gave me a onesie for my 36th birthday. It took me some time, but I totally dropped all prejudices I used to have about the onesie garment type - it's near to perfect (note : for indoor use).

@card10badge do you have any pointers on which led type can be used best to solder to the unpopulated 'flashlight' pad?

PhD manuscript closing quote candidate:
"I used to want you dead but now I only want you gone -- GLaDDOS"

The opening quote really is on point;
"
Do it out of pure passion and you’ll find what you’re supposed to find in this.
Do it honestly, passionately and with real intention.
"

Only 15 mins in, but the latest Lefto show is so good already. https://www.mixcloud.com/LeFtOoO/791-celebrating-20-years-of-shows-on-studio-brussel/

But, one thing is certain, the nagging PhD voice needs to be banished out of my head or everyone can come visit me at the psychiatric ward in a few months.

I find this type of communication super hard, mostly because I've been struggling so much with finding the right momentum/energy/mindset for writing up this PhD work. It needs to be done.

I had been crunching on an email the whole weekend because I couldn't find the most appropriate words to say I didn't make my paper draft deadline because I took care of my children last week. Decided to be honest and shared the draft bits I had.
