Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Sunset, moon, beach fire. September is the best month of summer. 060
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Post the last photo of the sky from your camera roll. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wutai_S... 040
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Come on. I bought some rope. Don't be so thirsty @canadiantirecorp.bsky.social . If you want consulting i can provide my rates. 020
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Passed my boat license, please clap. (Also do not ask me about bouys or how far from shore various things are allowed.) 1170
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I spoke at @sddconf.bsky.social at the Barbican in May 2022 and lunch in the conservatory was a lovely part of the experience. Go if you're close enough to. 020
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 03/08/2026"Kate, you're just weird for finding "back" and "forward" ambiguous when talking about days, everyone knows what it means, there's no opportunity for confusion." Uh huh. Just say Earlier and Later; it isn't even hard. 220
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Today's exploring includes the whistler trainwreck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheakam... 130
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 24/06/202610 years ago. Shocked by the Brexit result I posted something sympathetic on FB along with a hammock picture. The resulting conversation with a friend... (Spoiler: he didn't move to the US) 020
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 11/06/2026This financial institution seriously misreading our relationship and what I think about them even having a website at all, never mind the importance of their plans to change that website some day soon. 000
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Speaking is HARD work. My talk was 4:20 to 5:20. Can you see it on the graph? After that I walked (pulling a heavy suitcase and with a heavy backpack) to the train. Then I could relax on the train. 081
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 08/05/2026That's a wrap for #ndctoronto Thank you so much everyone for coming and for the kind reception for my closing keynote. @ndcconferences.com sure know how to run a show! See you all next year I hope! 1123
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Been excited about this one since I saw the submission come in. So pleased the #ndctoronto program committee accepted it. @darcylussier.bsky.social bring it! 051
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 08/05/2026That's right, two Carbon talks at ##ndctoronto. @chandlerc.blog is up again with some performance numbers 030
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Plenty to think about in this talk by @nikpayuk.bsky.social at #ndctoronto 230
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Next: @chandlerc.blog with the Carbon update at #ndctoronto 040
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Valid point from @scott.hanselman.com to kick off NDC Toronto. I have seen all these, it's true. 080
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 05/05/2026This graph makes it clear. If your infant isn't sleeping, eating etc as they "should" you get desparate and will listen to anyone who sounds confident, even when what they confidently suggest could be fatal. Protecting parents would be wise. 083
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 20/04/2026A side note in a study on cancer vaccines. I had checkpoint inhibitors and I think 9 Covid shots so far. Coming up on 10 years since my stage 4 metastatic melanoma was confirmed. Unheard of result just 11 years ago. 130
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Apr 30th @klmuseumarchives.ca is hosting an exhibit launch for "approximately sixty Inuit carvings, sculptures, and materials collected from 1900 to 1970" visiting from Cobourg. Good chance to learn more about these artifacts than one normally would. www.klmuseumarchives.ca/events/exhib... 021
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Here's a peek at the NDC Toronto lanyards! @ndcconferences.com chose a design with no metal hook, that little notch keeps the badge attached. Can't wait to wear mine! If you don't have your ticket yet, there's still time ndctoronto.com/agenda 031
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 28/03/2026In Canada "a roti" means the bread wrapped around a curry filling. Period. (Example from a roti place nearish to me) 130
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I like this one, the web site seems to have gone away though. They key is give them a number but tie it to something it is worse than, like "getting this tattoo" or "transition during labour" never just give a number. 291
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Ontario business website, down all weekend for "maintenance", comes back up today, makes me enter stuff it already knows, then... An Error Is Occurred. Why do I never get way too much money to do an atrocious job? I can be atrocious at half the price of your current vendor! 120
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Honestly @toronto.ca this is shameful. Bloor street. Hardly a backwater. Over a week and nothing done? 242
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 02/02/2026New candidate for counter-productive email: (as far as I can recall I didn't make any posts, so this is very good performance, but still) 9/8 100
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 17/01/2026This chocolate. And gladost. And a number of very yummy flavours of chips that don't exist here. 010
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 28/11/2025🎵 Swimming in the snow, just Swimming in the snow 🎵 160
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 15/11/2025This should be illegal. Left turn indicator is an arrow pointing right and vice versa. Later it signaled left and it gave real cognitive dissonance. 170
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Decisions, Decisions. Go Jays go! (These were all bought contemporaneously. In 1993 we didn't buy shirts I guess.) 030
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Wow cursed title or what? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of... 111
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Enjoyed this talk on expressive code by @tinaul.bsky.social at #NDCTechtown 280
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Popcorn container at #NDCTechtown has been listening to John Oliver 030
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Physically resetting the projector at #NDCTechtown go @tartanllama.xyz go! 040
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Cippi is here in Kongsberg for a special not-in-Oslo version of the Oslo C++ Meetup #cippi #ALS 010
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 23/09/2025One last breakfast in this grand old railway hotel (literally opens onto the platform) accompanied this morning by a soft tinkly piano instrumental of Every Breath You Take. Farewell Voss! 030
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Things I wish they had on GO Transit (who should be on here, sigh). This on a low level train between Myrdal and Bergen in Norway. 010
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Today's purchase, at the Bergen train station: Norwegian Love Hearts and of course liquorice Mentos 030
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 12/09/2025And how about today? Today, since everybody drives from A to B or from A to B to C, I drove to A. Well, technically A-with-a-dot-over-it but I don't know how to type that. Bridges! Like you can't believe these bridges! Tunnels! Mountains! Adorable fishing villages! I can't even tell you. 1161
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Where is Kate today? Roughly 70 N latitude. Heading slightly south for a few days 140
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 07/09/2025This morning's random thought - how many people dot their j's? When I'm writing a note to myself, I don't, even though I dot i's. Who else? 220
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Where is Kate today? Definitely Alberta. Had a terrific tour (you cannot drive a car to Moraine Lake and you wouldn't enjoy driving to Lake Louise either.) Fantastic day. 7912
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Victoria last night. I deliberately take pictures of lamp poles when they are good 050
Kate Gregory @gregcons.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Time to share this lovely image of the silk painting I had commissioned by swift-rivers-studio.ca -- we're completely delighted with it and the collaboration with Dianne was wonderful. If you would like some art of you own do check her out, you won't regret it. 110
