Time to channel my network.

My current contract expires at the end of the month. So I am looking for new opportunities. Do you know anyone who can use a very experienced #SQLServer developer, specialized in query tuning? Please reach out!

Reposts appreciated. #OpenToWork

Do you have any idea how badly you have to fuck up a website to get a band that relies on social media to sell tickets to our little shows and stuff to nuke an account where we had 160k followers
Rock band, Eve 6, have completely left Twitter

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

It’s been many years since I was in Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. The scale is still grand, but I miss the big clacking information board.

Well that’s a first for me… seeing a show at Union Transfer and someone had a crying baby in the audience. #UTPhilly

THEY DOXXED EA-NĀṢIR
Ea-nāṣir lived in n. 1 Old Street (this is a modern name completely fabricated by Sir Leonard Wooley, the excavator at the time) of area AH. This home was finely built and stood with an area of 110 m2, an average home in this neighborhood being about 70 m2.

What's happened to X proves the need for Bluesky. The future company is a possible adversary. We make decisions knowing that we won't always be here or won't always be able to control the company's decisions. It's why we've given you the freedom of exit to go elsewhere w your followers and data.
one of bluesky’s mottos is “the company is a future adversary,” so we have to design this service in a way that preserves user choice & freedom

users should own their data, identity, and relationships on the social internet, and devs should never get locked out of the ecosystems that they build

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

Soul Coughing was my favorite band in college, but I never got to see them live. When I heard they were reuniting for a tour 25 years later, I was more excited than I’d been in a long time. This show was everything I wanted it to be. #soulcoughing
