2023, Week 23 in Review
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
A few weeks back in my 2023, Week 19 in Review I mentioned that I was looking forward to watching Frances Buontempo's lecture What is a random number and why should I care?. It would appear that the ACCU Conference YouTube channel have begun releasing the videos from this Aprils conference over the past two weeks at a rate of one a day. Frances' lecture isn't yet live but I should be able to watch it soon.
This week has been almost entirely consumed by a big deployment at work of a project that has been three years in the making. It unfortunately once again hit a roadblock with a bug in an upstream service this new feature depends upon and so after a marathon week it's culminated in a sense of frustration and deflation. So close, and yet.
Joke of the week ¶
I slept like a log last night.
Woke up in the fireplace!
