I'm still reading Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, but struggling a bit with it, so started Get in Trouble by Kelly Link (stories) for when I need a break. And from the first story learned today the word "counterpane" (bedspread).

As promised:

I'm a staff-ish level software engineer, fairly deeply involved in the Python community (see @NorthBayPython which I organise, and @ThePSF where I'm a board Director). Things I like: understanding/taking apart/reassembling systems; open source; technology in service of humans. Otherwise not terribly picky :)

Things I'm good at: programming in #Python (other languages acceptable, of course), communicating complicated stuff in conference talks, probably a few things related to that. Ask?

3 years ago today is when I caught up to the (then) present with the @penaddict podcast (episode 553), after starting from the beginning. Have listened every week since. I know this because of my Midori 5-year journal, which I'm pretty sure I learned about from said podcast.

I finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. A short sweet break. Back to the Bookers, started "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" by Shehan Karunatilaka which so far I find too confusing but we'll see. Also finished rereading "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Murakami which I had to reread after reading his "The City and Its Uncertain Walls" which is the same book, sort of. Immediate temptation is to now reread "The City and Its Uncertain Walls". .
