want to test my dual-stream setup a bit more, so I'll be playing The Message From Deep Space (starting at puzzle 150ish) at www.twitch.tv/ratamero and stream.erickratamero.com in a bit.

I wanted to force myself to stream more (or at all) so I'm doing a weird experiment in multiple fronts: I'll play Natsu-Mon every single day in August (one in-game day per day) and multistream to www.twitch.tv/ratamero and stream.erickratamero.com to see if it all works. starting day 1 in a bit!

this is a regular reminder that, whatever you use to create QR codes, check it resolves to the address you want, and not an intermediary. You don't want, say, to put posters all over a research institute that suddenly resolve to a page full of scammy ads and malware.

Do you want to learn more about OME-Zarr viewers, where they stand today and what's being developed at the moment? On August 24th at 4pm CEST, we will hear about 3 different OME-Zarr viewers and user stories for each. www.biovisioncenter.uzh.ch/en/events/Up... (1/5 🧵)

FIFA and the US really is a match made in heaven (derogatory)

I am pleased to inform The Incident at Galley House has the sauce. I regret to inform I am lost in it.

got DB'ed - train stopped inexplicably for half an hour and what was supposed to be a cool TGV along Eastern France turned into "go to Paris and stand in line for half an hour to get a new connection". (at least total delay will be only about 40 mins)

We're excited to help organize the OME-Zarr Office Hours with a new rotating schedule starting today! 🎉 Whether you're using OME-Zarr today or just curious to learn more, we'd love to see you there. 📅 Full schedule: ngff.openmicroscopy.org/community

I was outside for 15 mins and I never want to leave the house again

did my first Four Job Fiesta this month! went for a very regular FFV run, got Monk, Time Mage, Ninja and Chemist (which, I am told, is an extremely strong team). Finished the game, killed both superbosses, had a great time! Will be back next year.

Keeping track of OME-Zarr support across the ecosystem isn't always easy. Over the past few weeks, we've been speaking with stakeholders about experiences, successes, and remaining gaps. Here is our snapshot of where things stand and where effort may be most valuable next: image.coop/blog/posts/2...

my relationship with "modern" Belle and Sebastian (i.e. after Dear Catastrophe Waitress) is interesting. an album comes out, I listen to it and go "yeah this is not very good". but it's pleasant enough, so it sticks around my playlists. a decade later, I go "wait, this is all bangers".

Rewarding myself after a long bike ride that included a (very minor) tumble in the forest. (mostly it's my ego that's bruised.) Südseite has quickly become my go-to place for coffee in HD.

EMBL is coordinating STARDAST, a new €8M Horizon Europe project to strengthen data stewardship careers, FAIR data practices, and open science across Europe. Read more: www.embl.org/news/connect... @cern.bsky.social @eurobioimaging.bsky.social @globalbioimaging.bsky.social @theul.bsky.social

Super proud of my colleagues Lisanna, Isabela and Nina on leading this grant proposal that got funded (it's a big one!), and very proud to be a small part of making it happen! Looking forward to helping consolidate data stewardship as a career over the next 4 years. www.embl.org/news/connect...

Outlook composed that amazing, though a but rude, email.

gonna start saying "Python did some great number crunching" or "Excel organized this data beautifully" since giving full credit to the tool you use seems to be the thing to do these days

watching Inland Empire (the David Lynch movie) and there's this really familiar face that I can't place. Went through his WIkipedia page and couldn't find anything I would recognize him from. Until the very last entry.... Baron Von Glower in Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within.

so today I got a message on whatsapp (i.e. my personal number) with my full name, name and dates of a hotel reservation I made through booking dot com. doing scammy stuff: asking me to click on a link to "confirm payment method" (domain created today), reservation will be cancelled in 24h, etc.

These are some of the best entertainers on Twitch, without exaggeration, and wonderful people raising money to a cause that could not be more important right now. Go watch them and send some money their way!

In a few hours, the second Pit Crew Trans Am kicks off - a 48 hour event from some of the coolest folks I know on Twitch. Last year they raised over $50k for the Trans Lifeline, this time they're aiming higher and have rented a venue and are all getting together to do it Pro Style. Schedule below!
