@Ahuka Thank you! This looks like a great series of shows. I'm just seeing your latest contributions arriving (I process the show notes, as you probably know, so I get an alert that there's work to do!)

@Ahuka I know little of ActivityPub at the moment, but I've been a devotee of the Fediverse for several years now. I met @sazius at FOSDEM in 2015 or 2016 and was encouraged to join GnuSocial then. I expect I'll be learning some good info from your series. 😃

@mcnalu @timttmy Yes, avoid the Corona beer marked "2019-nCoV" and you should be good. 😉

@kevie @mcnalu @timttmy Very good. That anti-viral mask is particularly impressive 😉

@clacke @gnomon @murabito Thanks @clacke.The Awk series was shared with b-yeezi (who is apparently not on Mastodon), and is being adapted by Seth Kenlon of Red Hat and released on opensource.com (https://opensource.com/article/19/10/intro-awk)

@murabito Yes, it's me. Thank you for the compliment! It didn't come across as gushy or creepy.I have always been reluctant to listen back to my own podcast episodes because I dislike my voice, though I have mostly got over this.I have wondered whether to be a reader for LibriVox, but have never taken the necessary steps to do it.@clacke @gnomon

@timttmy I'm watching and listening to the live streams. Some great stuff, and all well organised. I remember the earlier days of streaming being very unreliable; this stuff is amazing!

@Luke Jon did a show for HPR last month (http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3014). I just noticed him today on Twitter in one of my rare visits there. Haven't seen him on the Fediverse that I recall though

My son's away this week and he's let me borrow his Elecom Huge trackball because I was wondering if should buy one. An interesting device. Very different from the Logitech gaming mouse I usually use and initially pretty difficult to get used to!

@publius That's an interesting idea. Not something I'd want to do myself though it'd be an intriguing challenge

A sad day today. We lost our little cat Misty to cancer. She was my daughter's cat really but she'd been my nearly constant companion for the past 11 years. She was a rescue cat we adopted on the 31st January 2010; a cute little tortoiseshell. RIP little buddy!

@kevie HI Kevie. Good morning (I'm on retiree time here of course). This weekend I want to attend as much of the virtual FOSDEM as I can. Some interesting looking talks going on!

@ken_fallon @kevie I'm using the FOSDEM Companion on Android. You can add your own calendar bookings (Google calendar) for stuff you want to be reminded of. I've used this when physically at FOSDEM in the past.

@clacke I have been listening to "This Week in Virology" for a long time now. I was recommended to listen by a TWiT virology podcast that was closing down, and came to enjoy it a lot. It helped me cope with the pandemic, and is teaching me a lot. I have started following Vincent's virology lectures recently.I have a Zoology degree and embarked on a PhD in the 1970s, which I eventually abandoned. The TWiV preamble reminds me of being a student back then, with lots of daily chat going on 😃

@clacke @ken_fallon Very good!Having done a bit of programming language teaching in my time (though never having been trained to do it!), I always felt that using features that haven't been introduced yet would confuse people more than help them.It might just be that I am easily confused, and assume others are the same, of course. 😉
