#connectathon — Public Fediverse posts

Belated #3GoodThings for yesterday:
- had a nice meeting with a professional from the neighborhood, who will hopefully soon install solar panels on our terrace
- released for small features for the #WikiTree browser extension (some enhancements for #ConnectAThon stat pages and the ones shown at https://github.com/wikitree/wikitree-browser-extension/pull/678)
- accidentally had a second go at the frozen #pizza I never wanted to buy again, because it was so much effort cutting away the burned places last time; this time, with exactly the same time, there were basically no burns

#ConnectAThon #WikiTreeHowTo #CollaborativeGenealogy

@splitbrain Some years ago, during my first #ConnectAThon at #WikiTree, where you basically sit at the PC from Friday 2 PM until Monday 2 PM, I decided that I can't sit at the PC all the time (which was kinda weird, because it's not like I didn't do that before ...). So I decided, that I will pretend to have a dog and take three walks with it per day. It felt good and I kept it up (although the frequency somehow decreased to two times per day after my COVID infection two years ago).

Like this, there is no poor dog sitting at home all day and it won't pee on the floor, if I decide to walk two hours later. Also, nobody sees its poo 😉

Join me for the kick off of #ConnectAThon
A weekend of our global #CollaborativeGenealogy community coming together to grow the Free Family Tree on @wikitree

Belated #3GoodThings, after skipping some days due to workload, exhaustion and #April2025ConnectAThon:
- beak cutting at the vet for #Gelbi went well, except being told that he's on the border of being too fat
- managed to create #WikiTree profiles for at least 2 direct ancestors during #ConnectAThon https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pfefferle-54
- 30 min after Thon, in which I showered, we approved the release at work, so it might get a little less hectic for the next few months until the next one
#ThreeGoodThings

@WikiTreeExtensions: Including a feature for less clicking, when adding profiles, as well as one for less scrolling, when editing profiles. WBE is getting reading for #WikiTree's #April2025ConnectAThon.

@emilyhegarty

I could be wrong, but I thought the Irish team was always separate from the Scottish one for the #ConnectAThon and came together for the #SourceAThon.

You have one of my favorite #WikiTree 'ers on your team: John!

@MarianBWood jupp, also in took Monday off - wish everyone a happy #ConnectAThon 😃 at #WikiTree this weekend
