That was quick! Video of my most recent talk at @PyConUK on Python imports, dependency management, and a bit of software supply chain vulnerability management is now up. Feel free to enjoy my ramblings, only slightly running out of time at the end 🤣

Had great fun speaking about trust in Python at @PythonIreland just now, thanks to the organisers for a great event, as ever!

As promised, link to slides below 👇

Gosh, reintegration with Europe seems to have got off to a good start. Just spotted Rachel Reeves coming out of this bank in deepest rural Germany.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@GNetworkComms Thanks, now sorted!

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@GNetworkComms are you experiencing any network issues currently? I'm shown as connected in my router but can't access the internet.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

eu-west-1 - friendly, nice accent, good with government paperwork, sends elaborately signed love notes to you all over Europe. Just don't ask about their taxes, or be disappointed when they run out of energy 5/10 years in.

Really want to see a thread of "AWS regions if they were your partner."

[ali @endingwithali]

fuck it
im done with dating

im getting married to us-east-1

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

us-east-1 - strong and reliable, but a little cocky, controlling at times, weird trust issues.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@stephenkb Oh god, Liz Truss is going to end up being Control, isn't she?

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@willmcgugan Maybe I'll celebrate with a little trip to Clerkenwell.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

How frustrating to hear all these reports of fantastical lights in the sky, everyone flocking to watch them, whilst here I am, bandaged up in the eye hospital. Can't wait for the doctors to come round and take them off tomorrow and for everything to be just fine and normal.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

Living in the first three minutes of Threads is really a lot less fun than I imagined...

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

Really enjoyed talking about PDM and python dependencies at @pyconsk just now. For those that asked, slides are below! https://t.co/YgZgXdaY5Y

A lot of theatrics going on today in Parliament. Shouting at the wall here, and v guilty of wishful thinking, but... everyone is just so fed up, please, for the love of God, can we just have a sodding General Election?

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

Can't get over how enjoyable this is from @bbcpaddy. Pure and simple Radio 4 nerdery at its finest (and, unsurprisingly, given it's Paddy, very self-aware at that). Cannot recommend enough to anyone who listens to R4 a lot!

Particularly good @vittlesmagazine column this weekend. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn't already subscribe.

@JonnElledge Have you thought about applying to work for the CPRE? Y'know, for the bit (and the cash).

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

So @NatWest_Help are filming an ad outside my flat today. Seemingly decimated the day's trade for the local cafes, they've even set up a free food van directly opposite one of them. Still, sure they're proud to say they support local businesses... 🙃

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@Mr_John_Oxley Yes. Unless there's a surprise afoot. It also relies on Tory party discipline holding for a bit. Until the end? Presumably relies on Tory MP future paymasters' patience, too? Not Sunak's style, but there has to come a point where events take over, no?

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

Genuine question... what happens if a General Election is called during a by-election? I'm assuming by-election voided and seat just up in GE as usual, but I've no idea why, or what weird stuff happens as a result.

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@matttcasey The person who won this is inevitably a brilliant pub quiz answer, right?

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@Mr_John_Oxley More interesting question is, IMHO, will this happen in 2024...?

[Dom Weldon @DomWeldon]

@Mr_John_Oxley Thank-you. Appreciate it!
