At devconf in #CapeTown today looking forward to talk about the wonderful things our kids and mentors do, and celebrating the WTC World Champions from here in Pinelands. #codeclub#coderdojo#space#robots#education
Quite enjoy my daily photo cull on whatever today's date is - ends up reminding me of good times past. Here I am on my first arvo in Cape Town, South Africa, on 30 April 2018.
And this set of power points was in my Cape Town hotel room. Was quite excited by the weird one on the far left, as I had an adapter for it which I'd never used up till then!
LilyGo T-Echo license-free radio arrived today. Love that it has a screen to see range and direction to nearby radios, as well as incoming text messages. Can't wait to go walk in the forest and test out whether I can connect to any other #Meshtastic radios across #CapeTown and surrounds.

“My trans Joy moment has been knowing that so many of my colleagues accept me and want to be better humans for the young people in our care, and the greater world in gender <3”
So I took my newly bought #meshtastic device to the nearby highest hill overlooking the whole city of Poznań and... nothing. No one else was on the network. That is disappointing to say the least.

Three Meshtastic nodes are active in Cape Town for off-grid communications during disasters or just to meet your neighbours
Myself and two other ham radio operators have established 3 Meshtastic nodes that will operate 24/7 to help build out more connectivity across Cape Town.

Hundreds of newspapers and magazines from all over the world for free on your digital device using the #pressreader app and by becoming a member of your local public library (in my case the #Munich library, which gives me the magazines in the picture, the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and many, many more). Oh. And also access to https://statista.de and many more things. https://muenchner-stadtbibliothek.de/digitale-angebote#SupportYourLibrary
@jwildeboer yes I've been accessing them through our #CapeTown library - an amazing benefit and access to quality news. I especially like the commenting and voting on articles.
Seems you must take your own material with, for having say pockets fixed. This was not even told to me when I brought the item in and got the price, after discussing what needs to be done. I only found out when collecting it. Where do I buy material? I'm told I can get it near the Castle in city centre! It's like taking your car for a service but you must provide the oil, spark plugs, air filter, etc. I'm astounded and will have to find a proper tailor now with material. #capetown#SouthAfrica
