I was really looking forward to this year's #djangoCon, but life had other plans. I ended up in the ICU this past weekend, after walking around for a week or so with a pulmonary embolism(!)
I'm recovering slowly but well. I don't miss programming at the moment, but I sure miss all the people I've met through programming, especially in the Django world.
Happy conferencing everyone, and I'll see you next year!
I have to end my #DjangoCon early. Thanks for such an incredible time!!!

π Announcing DjangoTV.
I'm ~10 minutes away from boarding my flight which means, I technically still launched this project while at #DjangoCon #Django #Python

I thought @djangoconβs COVID policy struck a good balance this year (again): Testing on the day of the conference, and again before the sprints, plus a seating area in the talks where masks were required. This seemed to me to work well. Wonder what others think? #djangocon π
#djangocon Thank you so much for another great conference! I decided to head back a little early so I missed saying goodbye to a lot of you π
But weβll see each other soon!
Very excited to be going to #DjangoConUS next week! Love Durham and Django! It'll be my first time at a conference since PyTennessee 2020 just before COVID broke everything. If you'd like a Firefox sticker come find me! #djangocon #python #django #durhamnc #mozilla #firefox
I hope everyone a safe journey back home from #DjangoconUS! βοΈ π
Attending this year has been such a joy, especially catching up with friends and making new ones! I left feeling all warm and fuzzy π and inspired by all the smart and passionate people I've met! π€© π
Truly grateful to all the speakers, organizers, sponsors, and volunteers that made this event possible! π
Speaking jitters for my upcoming talk, but excited to share with everyone!
Here's my highlights blog post from our DjangoCon US 2024 trip.
I share my experiences from the conference, highlight some talks I saw and some I wish I had. I also review the Buffalo wings on offer in Durham.
I also shared our socialising with people from the conference most nights and how I even squeezed in a couple of rounds of golf.

I promised myself I would write this up before the jet-lag wears off...
Enjoy the review! ππΊπ²π¦π»β³π―βοΈ
I'm at the #djangocon sprints working on nanodjango - but with a slightly unusual setup after my laptop melted on stage!
Updates will be a bit slow as I'm on my android tablet, with a Bluetooth keyboard rush-delivered by Amazon (with a finger-confusing US layout!) working remotely in vim on a cheap OVH VPS.
