Was there a new foundation model released today?

Community is a huge part of what shaped my love for technology. There was probably no bigger influence on that than my high school geek community.

Back in the 80’s me and a friend had a friendly competition for creating ASCII-based PC games.

I haven’t seen him in over 38 years. I just ran into at #Kubecon.

That’s so crazy. What a wonderful small world.

[Keith Townsend @CTOAdvisor]

We talk about OpenShell a lot at #Kubecon.

I was challenged that it was announced in June. But I checked my notes.

NVIDIA initially announced it as part of Nemoclaw back in March.

I am almost certain I was at Kubecon SLC 2024, but I don’t remember this conference center. I guess I simply attend too many events.

[Keith Townsend @CTOAdvisor]

#Kubecon expo hall is packed with sponsors. Great seeing so many people I know from the Cloud Native community.

@nathaniel_avery @thectoadvisor @MrsCto Had to be.

[Keith Townsend @CTOAdvisor]

As chief people officer at @theCTOAdvisor, @mrscto has a zero tolerance policy on affairs. It actually predates the start of the company.

Did he not go see Hamilton?

Now, he’ll never be President.

@nickjanetakis It will be great to catch up.

[Keith Townsend @CTOAdvisor]

Kubecon is an interesting conference. For all intents and purposes, it starts on Sunday (today). I don't get in until tomorrow night.

I'm in the thick of my travel schedule and try to limit the time I'm away from home attending events.
