Twelve years ago I was invited to present on #DNSSEC in Moscow. Quite the show actually: we had simulataneous translators (think: EU parliament) who translated my English to Russian and back for questions from the audience.
Imagine my surprise when I met @krisbuytaert there: he too had been invited to give a talk.
The stay was great: it allowed me to brush up on my Russian: I learned how to pronounce 'nyet'.
For all the Sort Your Life Out fans who have random bits of junk across the house and want to get rid of it, but don't know how, here is a thread on it as someone who has sold, given away stuff, and trashed stuff.
If you plan on cleaning out your closet anytime soon, as I do, here’s a guiding principle I found out about recently and thought I’d share: The 90/90 Rule to De-Cluttering. It may or may not work for everyone. But, I’m going to give it a try. #springcleaning#donations
I worked on the construction of Disney Magic and Wonder in 1998 and was on the delivery cruise of Magic from Venice (Marghera yard) to Port Canaveral.
I mainly worked nights, primarily finishing and sound checking the nightclub overnight so had breakfast each morning on deck overlooking a completely flat Atlantic Ocean after we went through the Straits of Gibraltar on 4th July.
I just found these pins / badges in the bottom of a box.
Think I’m finally going to get around to cleaning the house starting this weekend. I also am going to solder my new open source mouse I was building and just 3D printing a new case with better colors and ordered an 8 ball for the trackball mouse.
I’ll soon have to tear down both of my 3D printers for maintenance and one is clogged as well.
Does anyone else feel good deleting stuff? Deleting files, posts, accounts... I feel lighter, liberated :-) I just deleted 10 repositories from #GitHub, about 90 to go. Most are just stale forks anyway. #springCleaning
49 repositories deleted, 59 to go. That was easy: mostly outdated forks. Now comes the harder part: my own repos or ones with changes not merged upstream #GitHub#springCleaning
One of the things I hate and think I'm really bad at, is going through old miscellanea and deciding
(a) whether to keep it (relatively straightforward) and
(b) where to put the stuff I keep.
Which category does it fit in? Is it sentimental stuff I never look at but can't bear to toss? Is it something that's occasionally useful if only I remember that I have it and where I put it?
Is it something I want to peruse for a while and then should just throw out (like my university course notes from 15 years ago) #SpringCleaning#taxonomy
In case you might think that I've got my #PIM under control: 3 hours ago I had 791 items (from 2019 onward) in my #inbox. Those are ideas, tasks, notes, bookmarks I captured but didn't process yet. 😲
At the moment, I brought it down to 274 and I'll continue throwing things out tomorrow. 🏆
While doing more clutter removal & #SpringCleaning - found one of my old #Sony#walkman units. Tested it. Still works! Offered to gift it to a friend's hipster teen.
