After accidentally DDOSing piwheels for years with every @octoprint update*, today I was able to apologize to @bennuttall in person at #EuroPython! Great success! 😄
* It turns out that when you push out a new release of your software and as a consequence thousands of Raspberry Pis out there pull in new dependencies, at a certain project size the traffic will cause mysterious spikes in piwheels' logs that take a while to figure out the cause for 🤪
Good morning #EuroPython! The sleep was good, the self test was negative, the breakfast was delicious, now @timothy and I are ready for day two of talks and chats!
The FOMO is strong, but I still decided on a chill night in.
Need to recharge the social batteries - I love meeting so many wonderful people at #EuroPython and enjoy all the interesting talks and chats, but I also know my limits, and I still have two conference days and one social event tomorrow night to go on what were already severely depleted energy levels 😅
@timothy for one is happy about some calm time together ^^
So far it looks like I did make it through #EuroPython without getting a blind passenger on board. No COVID symptoms and negative self tests. Let's hope it stays this way 🤞
We arrived in Prague yesterday (My first flight ever! And I spent it in the bag! But Gina says she couldn't secure us a window seat and the flight was this very boring) and I took a nap at the hotel while Gina was off checking out a cocktail bar with friends (she tells me her non alcoholic cocktails were not listed on the menu but fantastic).
Today we are off together to the first day of #EuroPython, and I've already taken a look at the venue from our hotel room ^^
The first speaker requires no introduction. #EuroPython #heHasStoppedWaitingDreaming
Kudos to the #EuroPython venue, the CO2 levels measured by my Aranet so far today have been green 👍
Still, the mask stays on.
Packing for #EuroPython more or less done.
Phew... Ngl, I'm a bit nervous about my first flight since 2019 coming up tomorrow, and attending a conference *in person* for the first time since then as well.
Ok, the decision has been made... I'll be at #EuroPython @europython for the first time!
✅ Ticket
✅ Hotel
✅ Flight*
Really looking forward to it! Will be my third visit to Prague too ^^
* yes, I know, but I haven't been airborne since 2019 and it's the only way I can make the schedule work here...
