The stunning reward at the end of this morning's Eaton Canyon hike with @linuxflower and the @thunderbird crew. Including very special guest @gloriouseggroll!

16 ice-cold stream crossings to get here, by the way! It was epic, and I enjoyed this adventure -- and the company -- very much.

AWESOME start to SCaLE.

@pink Hey awesome! Glad you enjoyed the hike!

I still adore this screenshot.

Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, blazing fast internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.

@manawyrm I still have vivid, painful memories of "huge" failed downloads back in the day. I totally forgot that some ISPs billed by the minute!

@manawyrm I was over here using Limewire and Kazaa like a peasant. 😂

@theseal @thunderbird That is incredible!

@AngelaScholder @thunderbird A whole 1 Mbps download speed? Nice! In 2004 I think I had 256kbps down.

@radmin @thunderbird They felt ahead of their time back then (to me, anyway)

Wow this intro shouldn't hit so hard.

@jnv it’s perfect. I’d argue it’s slightly better than the original!

Every recipe online: “Here's a quick and easy recipe for pancakes! But first, a few paragraphs about my personal life and family, followed by 12 paragraphs detailing my entire life history with this food.”

@serebit 100% agree :(

@eliasp WHOA! Today I learned something awesome thanks to you!

@ThePlant I feel like ultimately we can just blame google for this.

@bashfulrobot yea this came up in an earlier reply. It’s awesome! Already started an account and added a few recipes.

The other day I removed some poorly laid paving in the new garden.

Whilst forking it all over in preparation the thought struck me to turn the area into a large #wildflower bed.

The seeds turned up earlier and have been sown. Now, to wait. #gardening #uk

@thewinduppirate Awesome! Would love to see some photos of the space once they sprout and bloom.

I've had time to reflect on my experience at #scale21x and my takeaway is: I sincerely miss being "plugged in" to the #Linux community 24/7.

Tracking the amazing developments. Interviewing maintainers. Watching the joy as people discover all the cool corners of a distro they're trying for the 1st time. Having a platform like Forbes and YouTube to broadly share this stuff.

At SCaLE many people told me they miss @Linux4Everyone. I miss it too.

Just feeling conflicted and reflective today.

@pikachu_sensei @Linux4Everyone Thanks for watching ❤️

@mdiluz @Linux4Everyone People like us tend to have so many passions and life can't possibly accommodate them all.

The FOMO is real.

@ReverseModule @Linux4Everyone Thank you for saying that ❤️
