I have too many projects.
I wonder if I could contract someone to migrate my WordPress to ClassicPress.
I wonder if I could contract someone to write a javascript that halts the loading of an html page and its other javascripts, presents a popup to gain consent to use webaudio, then allows the other javascripts to resume, to fix my webaudio asmjs apps I no longer have the source for.
so here's a talk i did at kernelcon five years ago.

if you can stand listening to me talk for 45 minutes, give it a watch and let me know if you think my premonitions were close to accurate given what we're seeing in security today.
One of the crappiest trends I’m seeing in my mentorship sessions today is people getting laid off from large corporations after 20-40 years of silo right now. It’s really appalling if not unexpected.
If you’ve been somewhere over 5, 10, 20 years it’s worth looking at your employability elsewhere.
I have to have a deeply uncomfortable conversation with people my age and older about how they’re missing essential skills ATS will automatically reject without. How they’ll look to the computer worse than a new grad. Don’t trust corporations. Never trust corporations.
Hey cutie <3 It really resonated with me how you turned your greatest weakness into your greatest asset

(This movie is also currently showing in places which are not Toronto, but this post is about Toronto)

However, I also like the taste of aluminum

This toot might be how I discover my own hidden identity of undercover citizen saboteur.

ok. consider: not doing that
this seems like a neat and cute kickstarter, having a good independent TLD is honestly very important for an open and fair internet: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dotmeow/meow-next-round-gtld-application
still some ways to go for the 80k goal, but I totally think this is attainable if more people chip in

Hey Fedi! We have the chance to help save a cat on the internet!
I almost never post mutual aid requests, but I know this person, and I know what their cat means to them.
If you have a few dollars, I'm sure it would be very much appreciated by Derek (and even more so by Asher, despite the fact they're a cat and don't know what money is).

Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks.
You know you're having a bad day when the title to one of your tabs renamed to "Oracle PeopleSoft Sign-in" while you weren't looking.

A citizen e-petition has been launched in the House of Commons calling on the Federal Government to its disallowance power to override Alberta and Saskatchewan’s use of the notwithstanding clause to violate the human rights of trans Canadians.
I like the attention to detail in Pluribus. I think it's the first time that an intravenous injection was shown correctly on camera (usually they just stab the patient with the needle perpendicular to the surface). We also learned that Zosia was from Gdańsk --and she pronounced it correctly (Karolina Wydra is a Polish-American actress).

Hey 
@dotmeow.meow ∙ We'll be at #39C3 ^-^'!
Could you give the shipping costs for the sticker pack add-on a check?
The 9,- shipping for the sticker pack seems like it might be a cute lil mistake, especially since the shipping costs are multiplied by the amount of sticker packs.
