  1. little late to the party again this week but not because I forgot, but because I didn't have access to my laptop. (from my 42nd story and 93rd submission that I sent out this year #humbleBrag) #writingcommunity #writingprompt #writesky #writingsky

  2. I don't mean to brag, but I'm a bit of a rebel. I didn't even open the instruction book before assembling the new appliance.

  7. 👾🎉 Oh, look! Another self-proclaimed tech guru who "writes about build systems" and wants us to know he's just having "fun" while making everyone else feel "super small." 🙄 Because nothing screams "I'm not competing" more than humble bragging about your superior intellect, right? 😂💻

  8. Not to brag, but I'm a bit of a rebel. I don't use all-purpose flour for everything I make.

  13. Also.
    Fun fact.

    As people might know, I maintain "pypandoc".

    But did you know, that 'pypandoc' actually have 2 packages on PyPI?

    The regular 'pypandoc' package that people typically install.
    And then it also has 'pypandoc_binary' which comes with a version of pandoc packaged - so you can get started right away.

    pypandoc_binary, for the first month, just surpassed 1.000.000 downloads in the last 30 days.

    That's amazing news.
    That means, that the total pypandoc project has been downloaded over 4.500.000 times over the last month.

    That's amazing - I'm so honored.

  18. 🎩✨ Oh look, another humble brag about how someone wasn't the original creator of a #Ruby #tool but still wants a cookie for being "the #Bundler guy" for 15 years. 📅💼 Also, apparently, the world needs to know the entire #genealogy of Bundler's development like it's the royal family tree of #open-source software. 🙄👑

  20. Reminder: It’s neat covering a technology when its inventors are still around to talk about it

    Friday afternoon had me in the audience at a tech event watching two older computer scientists discuss their work. That could be interesting in a variety of contexts, but it wasn’t just any two life-experienced CS types speaking at Project Liberty’s Summit on the Future of the Internet: Steve Crocker and Vint Cerf are pivotal to the Internet’s past, having helped to create the thing.

    It’s not a given that most of the developers of a technology prototyped in 1969 would still be around to talk about it in 2024, but they are here and so here we are. Which means that every time I get to see any of these Internet pioneers talk about what they helped to give the world, I realize what a treat that is.

    Nobody writing about aviation or electricity or cars or rockets today has that kind of privilege, and people writing about the Internet 20 years from now almost certainly won’t either.

    In Cerf’s case, that privilege has happened reasonably often over the years—including a few extended interviews and one panel I did with the co-designer of the Internet’s TCP/IP foundation at a Google event in D.C. in 2011.

    Two weeks ago, I had a similar experience at Web Summit in Lisbon when my Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I’d like to join him for a meeting with Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. No other communications platform has been as important to my work as the Web, so of course I’d make time for that. My reply to Harry: “Excellent. When at?”

    I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sir Tim (Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in 2004 in recognition of his work) a few times before then. Among them, I keep thinking back to one such occasion in 2009, a fancy reception at the Finnish Embassy at which he was one of the speakers. I said hello to the man afterwards and thanked him for giving me something to write about all these years; he said with his typical modesty something like “Oh, I’m sure you would have found other things to write about.”

    When Harry met Berners-Lee for the first time at Web Summit two years ago—somehow that had not happened before, despite my editor being a walking encyclopedia of computing history—he, too, thanked Sir Tim for inventing the Web. His equally gracious reply: “You’re very welcome—use it any time you like.”

    My industry has its share of jerks, but these guys aren’t among them.

  23. I managed to sing along to the #Killers' Mr. Brightside without tripping up once, and I only had to listen to it on repeat for 26 minutes to do it!

  24. If you see me bragging about something that is pretty small and inconsequential please don’t feel jealous; it’s probably the only awesome thing I did or experienced that day.

  25. My point here wasn't to #humblebrag but to point out how simple it was.

    Filelocator Pro has changed everything for me. Anything with embedded metadata and text data can be indexed. I will never be able to compete with the #internet_archive and hope that they get their systems back online ASAP.

    The archive.org security leak was important, but for most of us, just another day on the Internet. The data exposed really minimal compared to the recent National Public Data leak. I've already had someone in California apply for a job with my details inc. DoB and SSN.

  28. Some fun on the docket for Fourth today: the first movement from the Organ Sonata (I've learned all three movements in ~10 practice sessions ) and then BWV 686 (for when five voices in your fugue just aren't enough!).

  29. Heck yeah! I aced my #archaeology course. I guess taking a class while working 40 plus hours a week and serving as an exec officer on two boards IS possible. #humblebrag #WhyAmILikeThis?

  30. Etter å ha vært kasserer i skytterlaget i to år, er det meget tilfredsstillende å notere meg at bankavstemming stemmer på øret. Kombinasjonen nytt regnskapssystem og import av transaksjoner i CSV-format fra bank gjør det som før var stress og ubehag til en oppgave som flyter av seg selv.
