How many paid ads did you get to vote for Israel today during #eurovision? Didn't even say Israel, just "vote for number 4"...

Yesss! I had a weekend where I managed to do everything I planned for it. It's the first time this has happened in 2025! Can't wait to remember everything I forgot to do tomorrow morning 🙃

I apologised furiously, but in the end I prioritised the MSFT visit. The venue was forced to find a replacement on short notice. After that, I never got any light design requests from anybody, I had definitely burned that bridge. 2/2

I was studying IT, but also working as a light designer (concerts + theater). I really loved working concerts and slowly got bigger and bigger gigs... Then one day I was visiting a MSFT office and had completely forgotten about a concert I was supposed to work at... 1/2

Had checkin with the students this week. I gave them the option of doing it in person or remote. 8/10 choose online, so I sat in the corner of this wayyy too big classroom most of the day and joined online meetings 😅

A big room with white bland walls. In the corner there's a desk with a TV and camera, setup for online meetints. The desk is circled with a red marker on the photo, highlighting how small it is in the very big room.

I'm walking on clouds right now! Met a mother who visited CoderDojo a lot years ago. Learned that her daughter is now studying an engineering degree🤩 Also, I was told that I've been used as an example by the daughter to argue for why it's okay to fail exams😅 I don't mind having that as my legacy!

Improvisation is great... Until you're nervous and it just feels like you're wasting everyone's time 😢 Held a class today, and I did get some stuff across, but overall I feel pretty shitty about it. I am however motivated to fully prepare for the next class now!

Doubling tomorrow's semla-ration to make up for today's loss?

So... I have a presentation at working in less than two hours. I have done it a couple of times before... So, I decided to remake the entire deck 🙃 My excuse is that this time, it's primarily for an online audience compared to in person the previous times. I don't have an excuse for being so late.

Yaaaayyy! Do the thing! And also, congrats on passing. You're fricking amazing 🥳

I think the content on that site is GREAT! Used it several times to remind myself of certain things or get input on how to talk about the subject with others.

It doesn't feel like you're being dramatic imo. When shit's rough, we are allowed to talk/vent about it. Loosing money every month for simply living and being so far away from friends and family; that sounds rough.

That cauliflower is seriously amazing! I ordered 3 of those last time I was there 😅

Got it! Thanks for taking the time to explain further 😊

What's going to be the next step? Physical handwritten postcards? 🤔

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

That's interesting! What's the next step after that? Does the AI you use fix the problem, or do you get back like a list of steps on how to fix it?

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Likewise! "Spray paint shenanigans" is definitely something I'll try to summon this year 😁

I can happily report that, once again, the worst part about talking about uncomfortable feelings with my friends is the worry before I actually do it. It's still scary, and I should do it a lot more, but it was a small victory for me.

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

That's crazy good! 🤣

Churches scare me. Being inside one, exciting in that space... It makes me really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if I fully understand it yet.

The yearly(-ish) Billie Eilish interview is such a great format, that also makes me feel hope. youtu.be/PsHx7bMIFC4

People are more complicated than tech! And then there are some days where they’re both complicated and your brain hurts.

I've had a couple of weeks where I have had trouble focusing. And I think... It might be because I don't have a goal, a dream. Sounds great, right? I have figured out how to get back focus! No... Now I'm instead learning about the anxiety of not having a goal at 30 😔 let's gooooo

Feels strange that this got changed for us that had selected the previous default. And I get a little worried that this is the new default.

I'm thinking of making some (optional) visual themes available for software I'm writing. What "holidays" would be nice to include? So far, I've thought of Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, and Pride. I want a nice spread and keep it fairly limited, but I also know I'm very naive in my knowledge 🫣

It feels difficult to be a good human.. It's easy to be a decent one, and no excuses not to be. But I've lately started to feel like it's hard to be a *good* human.

That sounds like a super productive day! I might use it as inspiration for my Sunday 😅

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Thanks, very happy with it. But to be completely honest, I don't know if I am that good. It's my estimate, nobody is keeping me honest with those numbers 😵‍💫

I've gotten it down to only happening about twice each year. Not perfect, but I'm proud of myself for improving that!

I did light controlling & designing for theatre shows and concerts during high school and university. Lost that job because I missed a concert.. I was in Ireland visiting an Azure datacenter and had forgotten all about it. (I've gotten a better at avoiding double booking)

Sounds like a relief 😊 Hope it continues on that path!

Question for those that teach. How do you try to make a lesson fit all types of students? #teaching

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

That's a looong time without a buddy! Did you get one now or "too late, you've already learned everything"?

Today feels like an unappropriately good day. I know tomorrow I'm going to realize all the stuff I should've done. But I'm going to try my darnest to keep this feeling for as long as I can 🤗

The class I teach next year; they are probably going to be the first group of people that will fully get to know me by my new name. That feels exciting!

Ilo @iloabn.bsky.social · 22/10/2024

Next year I'll be teaching a 7 week introduction course on backend development, I'm so insanely excited 😃 Nervous AF, but this feels like something where I have enough time to plan and prepare.
