Still sorting out my experiences at All Things Open but a highlight from the conference was running into @jimsalter. He was kind to a guy who said "I listen to your podcast!" and have his brain fail while Jim was trying to get to his room for the day in the middle of the hall. It was an awkward encounter and I am glad Jim was kind. Thanks for being kind when it would have been understandable not to be.

My android email client apparently pushed some sort of update in the middle of the night that changed how and when it decides to make semi-quiet little "bingly-bingly-boop" noises, and I went from "my MUA makes no noise, ever" to getting 1-15 of those in any given minute.
It took a couple of hours to figure out what the fuck was doing it, because notification history claimed no new notifications were being issued.
And this was on the same device I use to lull myself to sleep with podcasts.

A pair of predatory women in cocktail dresses was working the crowd at this tech conference, asking any dude who either looked young and naive OR old and distinctly out of shape "are you single?" and dropping cards. They also made a post on the job board.
I researched their company and added some (accurate) detail that I'm sure they will appreciate me letting their prospects know about before they can hit them with the second phase pitch privately. 😈
