Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
Just got back from a month in Europe. It’s cold here yo.
While I was gone, work had to make some decisions about what direction to pursue our data needs. I made my recommendation but of course come back to find we’ve taken the most conservative, manual, one-size-fits-“all” solution. Must be that time of the year where I look for a job with worse quality of life but that actually takes data and IT seriously.
Compared to the 40° and wild fires, I imagine it probably does feel quite cold here.
Ah yes, workplaces are like that. We are supposed to be migrating to ServiceNow which I have started calling ServiceEventually because it’s taking that long.
Reminds me of an internal project I saw named Project Horizon, presumably named for the fact that despite the years spent moving towards it, it never seemed to get any closer.
Anyone else have a house of sick coughing people? My son and my sister are off today, again. But my sister’s bf and I are totally fine.
I had that dream again where my bmx gets stolen.
Last weekend I upgraded my keyboard after living with a shitty office one for a few years. I now have one of these, and it’s just as good as I remember. Can’t stand the company, but the hardware is excellent.

Me! I’ve got it too.

I tend to find flat laptop keyboards for desktops a bit weird.
After I started using one a decade+ ago, I can’t go back. Can’t stand big keys that my fingers keep missing.
And the scissor switches on this model have such great activation feeling and perfect resistance.
If I could get a mechanical with the same feeling, I would.
Perhaps low profile keyboards are more your thing? Nuphy and Keychron for instance make some pretty good looking (and feeling) keyboards.
If I could make something like this, I would be so keen:
