People on social media (not just here; Bluesky and Mastodon too) keep implying that I’m doing retirement incorrectly. I suspect they expected me to become a complete homebody and retire from public life? 🤷♀️ But really, it means I don’t have a full-time job and I spend my time how I like. Some days I’m helping out at a tech conference; other days I’m in my PJs playing videogames or in my craft room making something. After six years of doing pretty much nothing but AWS, it’s nice to pick and choose. I contain multitudes, people. 😂
Edited to add: Rodd thinks the solution is simple. I just need to start calling myself “unemployed” rather than “retired.” 😜

Renovation update: Dirt!! This is only like 10% of the total area, but it’s a good reminder of the fact that plants will eventually be growing here.

YOW Brisbane 2024
I’m slowly working my way through all the talks at YOW 2024. Here are a few more from YOW Brisbane Day 2…
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
