There are a bunch of things that delay trains here in the UK. This isn’t the first delay due to a stubborn swan on the tracks that I’ve heard. In related news, we also take our swans very seriously! 🤣🦢

I had my citizenship ceremony today, so I am now officially a UK citizen! Paul presented me with a UK “welcome pack” after the ceremony 🤣 and we celebrated at our local Indian restaurant with a bottle of Prosecco and lunch! I still have my US citizenship, since I can keep both (dual citizenship). 🇬🇧🇺🇸

We’re back to making our own cocktails after 2 weeks of holidays. The resort we stayed at had pink and white plumeria flowers all over the place, so I designed some new 3D printed cocktail toppers to remember our stay in Thailand.

It can't be understated how much the OSU Open Source Lab has done for open source, in Oregon and worldwide, for 22 years now. So many folks I've worked with have come through there, and been introduced to open source principles, to system administration, to their careers and hobbies.

We enjoyed a day of relaxing with fruity drinks and then went back to the place with the amazing view for our last dinner in Thailand. Tomorrow, we start our journey home where we get back to reality, instead of vacation life 😁

Libera.Chat would not be what we are today, if not for OSL. OSL has been an integral part of open source and open culture project support for a long time. Nonprofits, businesses, and governments, and you depend on projects OSL sponsors. OSL is worth saving. osuosl.org/blog/osl-fut... #osuosl

If your company has funds to donate, this is a fabulous org that supports oss projects and gives students hands-on sys admin / open source training. I 💖 the OSUOSL and hope they’re able to raise the money to continue.

The biggest thing that I wish people knew before starting their 1st tech job (probably most jobs) is that asking someone more experienced for the “answer” is what you should do as soon as you get stuck. It’s drilled into students that this is “cheating”, so this is a big change for new hires.

Yesterday, while I was sitting in my beach chair, I heard a stick fall out of a tree and land on my umbrella. After the stick started moving around, I realized that it was an adorable lizard! #Thailand

Vegan Tofush and chips from the Coach and Horses vegetarian pub in London. Lots of places use vegan fish substitutes to make vegan tofish and chips, but I really don’t like fake meat. The Coach and horses took tofu wrapped in nori and fried it. It was way more delicious than I’m making it sound 🤣

We’re continuing to enjoy relaxing, reading, drinking fruity drinks and eating delicious food here in Thailand. We’ve also confirmed that Paul is still a mosquito magnet - he has a bajillion mosquito bites and because they flock to him, I have 0 bites.

Just finished the latest from @scalzi.com, “When the Moon Hits Your Eye” and I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you’re alreaady a Scalzi fan. As with every previous book of his, it was hard to put down. Go get it. Read it. Thank John (and me) later.

After flying all night and getting to our hotel in Thailand this afternoon, I finally feel like I’m on holiday. I’m relaxing next to the pool, I can see the ocean, and I have a rum cocktail with ginger and lime. 🏝️

I’m on vacation for the next couple of weeks! Now we just need to get through the 20+ hours of travel that it will take us to get to where we’re staying in Thailand, and then it will feel like I’m on vacation 😁🌴🏖️🍹

I feel pretty great for 54! We spent my birthday having a vegan Sunday roast at Mildred’s, a walk through Regents Park, an afternoon drinking tea at the British library, and Ethiopian food for dinner.

Since this is the first really warm and sunny afternoon of the year, we dusted off our outside chairs and table to enjoy some gin & tonics in the sunshine. We don’t get many of these days in the UK, so we feel obligated to make an effort to enjoy them 😁🍸🌼

The nice thing about having #KubeCon here is that I can come home to have a Pimm’s (it’s almost a requirement on warm, sunny days), very spicy leftover Homemade Korean noodles with kimchi, and then sleep in my own bed. 😁
