What’s been happening #
-
It’s been a slow week and on this Easter weekend, we have nothing planned. That said, next week I have Vinayak coming over to Sydney and have a drive to Blue Mountains planned. Look forward to that visit!
-
I have updated the Photo Gallery page with albums from couple of my visits: Byron Bay from last year and to Newcastle couple of weeks ago. Check out the Australia and Romania pages!
-
It was the AWS Summit weekend. While I didn’t get to AWS Summit Sydney, but I did drop by for the unofficial Heroes & Community Builders meet arranged by Stephen Sennett and met up with some awesome folks! Glad I dropped by for the meet. Thanks to Stephen & Kris Howard for the pic!
Unofficial AWS Community Builder (plus Heroes, Ambassadors, and AWS Staff) Social Event -
I’ve started looking into the Steam Deck homebrew scene, starting with the Decky Loader. Look forward to experimenting with it and write up more.
Links of the week #
This week I’ve got three links that I found fascinating:
-
What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer? - Tired with your clickety-clack mech keyboard, shiny RGB lights and still need something to fill up your desk? Give this thread a read.
-
Video Tap – automatically convert YouTube videos to blog posts - fascinating what AI tools are capable of now, and we’re just getting started.
-
What Happened When Uber’s CEO Started Driving for Uber. Interesting story that sounds more like an episode of Undercover Boss (minus the sob stories). Give it a read on why Uber started changing the behaviour of their app.
