Uh-oh! Forgot to pierce both ends of the shell from the egg I ate this morning, now a witch might use it as a boat!

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@jaggeree Aw thanks Chris! Merry Christmas to you and the family too!

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 - https://t.co/7idJkGljuo

[El Rug @lrug]

The video of @hlame's talk is now available at https://t.co/Uj9TaFzHWD

[Murray Steele @hlame]

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. https://t.co/ZQ4tCMPUyE

[Murray Steele @hlame]

My dreams are haunted by anxiety that I haven’t put “Old Man’s Journey” in the right folder.

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@harry_wood @nganpham @lrug I don’t want to stop anyone attending or watching the videos later, but I will definitely not be answering this specific question. Sorry. Mostly because it didn’t come up when we were doing this so I don’t know the answer.

[Murray Steele @hlame]

If nothing else you should come to this to find out how I manage to awkwardly introduce myself as the next speaker.

[El Rug @lrug]

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)

@binaryberry NGL - this was the first thing I thought of.

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@threedaymonk @beng @rgarner You need to rebrand as an artisanal single estate lizer. Hand crafted, like your ancestors used to do it. A luxury, for sure, but what price can you put on handing down a prized heirloom bucket, lized many times over generations?

[Murray Steele @hlame]

Have I successfully formed a habit? Yes!

Do I think this has fundamentally improved my ability to communicate in another language? No really, no.

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@threedaymonk The Saturday Walkers Club website really is excellent. We did a bunch from a book and then via pdfs downloaded from the website on a kindle. Love the fact they’re organised around train and pub times!

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@tomtaylor Oh, right “open” data. Ugh!

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@tomtaylor Note that this was 2015 data and it doesn’t look like the mysociety cache has been updated but surely there’s been new data since?

[Murray Steele @hlame]

@tomtaylor This may or may not be relevant, but during one of my stints at GDS I updated the NI postcode data in mapit and this required pulling new open data: https://t.co/6gvyTzRzn3 - perhaps there’s some clues in there?
