Joe Roberts

I finally got around to writing about my DIY multi-room music system: @zefer/my-diy-multi-room-music-system-e65068398c63" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@zefer/my-diy-…

Many fun memories from a bouncing week of festival life but my two stand-out moments were singing along to Janet Kay's "Silly Games" with Dennis Bovell (!) and dancing with a huge crowd to Ebo Taylor and his family in the happiest band on the planet!

@kyrylo Thanks Kyrylo! No, just handing over the job of organising the event to someone else. Now I can enjoy just being there (mostly, it's complicated!) 😎

@zefer Congrats Joe! Are you retiring from yachting?

I'm thrilled with the event's success, proud of the team, and relieved to pass the torch for next year! yachtsandyachting.com/news/278217/Cr…

Hey all, I'm looking for a new contract. I'm most at home doing Ruby on Rails performance and scaling work, including Postgres scaling and optimisation. I also do Rails upgrades and tech leadership stuff. More details here: willj.net/about/hire-me/…

@kyrylo Niiiice! What happened later at Airbrake is other people's doing and no reflection of the wonderful work you did. Lisbon forever 🤣 I hope you're all doing okay.

Read my blog post "Embarking on an indie dev journey". I ponder about my career journey. The surge of layoffs this year was tough on me but I am not giving up. kyrylo.org/2023/11/08/emb…

@nickboyce It is, quite moving :(. Cause unknown but being investigated.

@zefer Oh that’s heartbreaking 💔

This is both a tragic and beautiful sight. A dead Sei whale 😢

We're enjoying our peaceful, windy, happy place.

@rorvswild @aviflombaum @rails I bought a ticket but can't make it, sadly. Let me know if you're interested. €199.

@aviflombaum @rails If you can help me finding a ticket, I'd love to go. It looks like it's going to be awesome.

I got a RailsWorld ticket! See you all in Amsterdam! I'm so excited, this is my first conference in years!

Feeling tired and proud of the big team. The trophy was an unexpected bonus 🤸‍♂️

The public transport here is unreliable so we took the wind and waves. What a wild and memorable ride! 🪁🏄🌊

Special views from the house this week 😍

@bt_billie Aww, so cool!

@zefer Billie just found these Blue Tit chicks in our garden, their mother is keeping a close eye on them.

This little office sparrow is stressing me out. He's trying to scare off the big birds to protect his babies but he's not scaring anyone with his cute little ruffled fluffy feather shenanigans and I don't want any casualties 🙈

The babies are out playing today 😍

My coronation day was spent repairing some steps, then making (and setting fire to) pizzas. And both were very satisfying.

Making coffee before drinking coffee 🤦‍♂️

I took my nautical nephew for his first ever sail and he loved it 😍⛵

There is no week as exhawesome(?) aweshausting(?!) as Bass Week, and this one delivered once again. 😎💨⛵

Simon is flying! He's a bit wobbly, especially his landings. Having been away for ages I'm very excited to see he's not left us yet and is now airborne!

Sadly his brother/sister (Garfunkel) was killed, but Simon is healthy, now flapping his wings (with a comedic lack of coordination) and throwing frustrated teenager tantrums. It won't be long until he's flying!

Meet our adorable roof top lodgers, Simon & Garfunkel! Garfunkel likes to watch the world go by and take little walks, Simon likes to chill and snuggle. In just 2 weeks their wings have doubled in size but they're still far too fluffy to fly away. 😍
