Favorite timezone: Asia/Kathmandu
Odd time offset: +5:45
Doesn't observe daylight savings time.
Mighty handy for detecting faulty treatment of time in software.

What's that eerie silence?

Been writing some EmberJS code in a fairly modern frontend build environment for my employer lately...

Raspberry Pi Zero W that powers my home "weather station" won't reboot when told to over ssh. sudo reboot returns exit code 0 but it doesn't reboot. That's a new one.

@catherinedevlin That's rough Catherine. At least it was quick.

Went to the grocery store last night, so now I have a bone to pick...
Universe: *fly lands on scale*
Machine: “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA!”
The World: *Eye roll*

@hjwp @offby1 @Paul_Collins I seek an event. I bear good things. Please DM location details.

Now if I only knew where it was...

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

SOON #WhiskeyBoF ... Soon. #pycon2019

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@Chrisfs59 there's a Quiet Room @ #pycon2019, walking down the hall from the registration desk and towards the grand ballrooms, you should see it on the left before the stairs. I imagine if you were to curl up on the floor in there, no one would bat an eye.

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

Great talk @ #pycon2019 on migrating a ~ 2.6 million LoC codebase from Python 2 -> Python 3 @ Pinterest.

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@BKtrax Thanks for the work you do! I've met so much music I enjoy due to it!

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

Unexpectedly watching Real Genius for the first time with some fine #python-loving folk last night was wonderful. Serendipity at #pycon2018 FTW!

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@alxrsngrtn I loved this talk! Thank you for presenting!

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@catherinedevlin Just double-checked the schedule. Did you get bumped or something?

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@catherinedevlin Sincere congratulations are in order. Can't wait to see!

[Ross Heflin @neozen]

@catherinedevlin Thank you for your service!

@brianray ssh w/ port-forwarding: punching holes in security policies and firewalls since..... dang... I don't actually know!
