We're devastated and holding a late night vigil to root for you.

[chrisaldrich]: I guess we're postponing 2024's GWGcon?

[preview] [Augie Ray] I've known three people who got COVID in the past two weeks. All of them posted photos of their events in the weeks leading up to their infection. Not one of them posted they had #COVID19. I get tired of people saying "everyone's back to normal" and ...

Hey gang! Thought I’d chime to say I’m fine, I tested negative yesterday and today. Thanks to Joe for the quick outreach and especially to David for being transparent, super appreciated.
#
GWG
Al_Abut: I am pleased that the hot zone is centered about me.
#
Al_Abut
Haha, sorry, didn’t mean “whew it’s only you David”
#
[tantek]
Al_Abut glad you are feeling fine
#
Al_Abut
Thanks! I really appreciate all the precautions we took, it made me feel comfortable participating in my first hackathon since the pandemic started.
#
Al_Abut
And in case anyone’s wondering, here’s the cutie pie I had to leave early for and dog sit all week: https://share.icloud.com/photos/09ftnEpz-0StE5t0ZZd7lTcTw

I believe we have no confirmed that there was zero spread at IWC SD. Appreciate everyone's efforts

Don’t let his looks fool you, he was an energy ball and agent of chaos.

I'm in the midst of a create period in my isolation

Al_Abut
Nice, what’re you creating David?
#
Al_Abut
Let me live vicariously through you, since being creative is what I had planned for the holidays but the crazy dog sprained my shoulder and I’m just barely now recovering (boo hoo)

Fun! I didn’t know you could use email for web signin
#
Al_Abut
not that I know much, I’m new to the scene
#
[jacky]
it's not _recommended_
#
[jacky]
from what I've gathered on the wiki, it's a bit of a last resort if someone doesn't have a controllable Web presence that they can advertise IndieAuth (provided that other verified links on one's site doesn't map to what one's provider could use for RelMeAuth)
#
[jacky]
but you also need an email address to get a domain name, so it can't be ruled out 🙂
#
Al_Abut
Ah, got it.
#

I like your approach of making something in advance of the event day, so that way the day of can be for feedback or brainstorming. I’m going to try that this time around, instead of trying to do it all in one day like last time.

I did like one good thing in the morning and then was debugging all afternoon and into the weekend, lol
#
[jacky]
that debugging part is what I want to avoid lol

Debugging other people’s stuff was fun, felt helpful. But debugging my own stuff just gave me a migraine, haha.
