If you're interested in my ruby upgrade story from the October LRUG meeting, but can't abide the thought of listening to me speak I have you covered! Here's a (lightly edited) transcript of what I said - h-lame.com/talks/the-long-ro…
The video of @hlame's talk is now available at lrug.org/meetings/2022/octob…
Trying my hardest to work out if this is my “They Live” glasses finally kicking in, a rare example of a mail merge error in real life, or massive laziness in the product design dept at Kitkat HQ. instagram.com/p/CkTAHwpNUAK/…
My dreams are haunted by anxiety that I haven’t put “Old Man’s Journey” in the right folder.
ALT An iOS app folder called “Prominent backpacks” containing the games Monster’s Expedition, Lego Builder’s Journey, Old Man’s Journey, and Superbrother’s Sword&Sworcery - the icons of which all feature prominent backpacks.
ALT An iOS app folder called “Eyes right” containing the games GRIS+, Wheels of Aurelia, NUTS - A Surveillance Mystery, Florence, and 80 Days - the icons of which all feature faces looking to the right.
If nothing else you should come to this to find out how I manage to awkwardly introduce myself as the next speaker.
We now have another talk to entice you to come along. @hlame will tell us how @workatcleo managed their upgrade to ruby 3 (spoiler: well) and then 3.1 (spoiler: not so well)

Have I successfully formed a habit? Yes!
Do I think this has fundamentally improved my ability to communicate in another language? No really, no.

Assuming the LRUG community does want to have in-person events again we’re going to need venues to host them in. Fill out this survey to tell us what you’ve got and maybe LRUG will come visit!
In order to return to in-person events of some kind we'll also need venues to have them in. We've put together another survey to find out what venues are available: forms.gle/KWiWDfKpxLcoHTpR6
Got any thoughts about what LRUG could look like as we return to in person events? Fill out this survey to share them with us. 🙏
We're thinking about a return to in-person events and we'd like to know what you think about that. We've put together a survey so you can tell us: forms.gle/fBjksiF5yb8AfRqN7

Our June meeting is tonight, at 6.30pm. Tickets are still available: lrug.org/meetings/2022/june/ Join us for two great talks on crafting awesome histories with git rebase and engineering lessons learned from a 5 year startup journey.
Just heard someone describe their dog as “such a value add each day”. Business speak brainworms have destroyed normal speech.

Correction, it was in April. It’s just taken me so far through May to write it up that I got confused.
My March notes have me navel-gazing about running performance reviews yet again: h-lame.com/notes/2022-mar/
In May I told a lie that could have life defining impact: h-lame.com/notes/2022-apr/
