Taking an evening break from constant socialising at in order to relax and eat where my Uber driver on the way in insisted that I go to properly visit Pittsburgh - Primanti Bros.

@joshourisman @greg It is menu'd as Smallman St Fries - chili, cheese, bacon and sour cream.

@greg @joshourisman Good! The fries were cooked well which I think is the key.

Well, 2026 will be in Long Beach! I haven't been to LA in quite a while so that should be fun.

@chrisjrn I consider Long Beach part of the greater LA area! I've never actually been to Long Beach itself before.

Took a little break from #pycon to go visit the Monongahela Incline - it is a lovely day and a beautiful view.

(Thanks to @bitprophet for the inspiration!)

Tomorrow will be fun - important customer handoff in the morning, then get on a plane to Pittsburgh, and then PyCon for the rest of the weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

This is then of course followed by coming back home for two days and then flying to the UK to help run @emf. Fortunately, I've given myself a few totally relaxing, no-project weekends in advance to try and balance things out a little.

Having re-watched them, I think there's a perfect trio of songs this year to introduce someone to how mad it is - Ireland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMq8ofCstMQ), Finland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nidDtyS0Wo) and then Croatia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIBjarAiAVc)

@jonty The well-placed smoke machine made me go "wait, are they going to do the thing?" and then they proceeded to perfectly do the thing.

I will say though, as a child of 90s eurodance, I will be adding the Austrian entry to my playlists immediately. I also just still enjoy the Finnish entry immensely. #eurovision

Well I'm glad that #eurovison had a worthy winner despite the EBU causing their own crisis. Wonderfully emotional last performance.

Currently figuring out if it's worth jumping in the car and driving an hour to the dark sky part of Colorado tonight. That green band is getting close!

It is... unfortunate that the PSF sent out an email to all voting members that mentions having to sign up for a site, and then the email address mentioned to link your status returns with a delivery failure.

@webology I didn't have an account on psfmember.org so I'm trying to link it, but the email mentioned to do that just gave me an error. I've sent the same email over to the elections email address now instead so hopefully that'll get to the right place.

@webology If event organising has taught me anything, it's that doing something just once a year (or on similar timescales) inevitably means something will go wrong because it's just not tested often.

    @josh Ohhh, that's why you're specifically in that part of the world! I hadn't twigged :D Envious!

    The best part about the London mayoral election? That the massively racist party (Britain First) are so unpopular that they were beaten by a man with a bin on his head (Count Binface).

    I am here! Very curious what Colorado's most (in)famous restaurant is like now.

    I have created a video that is ostensibly a travelogue about seeing the eclipse, but which is also a bit of a delve into taking the path less travelled. I would be delighted if you watched it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pba7IXuDnc

    Here's my take on the single-file Django project:

    @andrew@aeracode.org avatar

    @carlton @ehmatthes Yup, deliberately - I call out in the readme that if you want the ORM, just go do a big project, since you want the structure.

    ME: phew, ok that was entirely too much Pennsylvania to drive across, letโ€™s not do that again anytime soon.

    NEXT MONTH: leering in Pittsburgh PyCon

    @bitprophet Wait that's next month?! Crept up on me

    Friends, get off the Internet for ~10 minutes and go stare into the Sun, but "SAFELY."

    @webology My view on eclipses is very much 100% or bust. Even the weird dimming at 90%+ is only slightly odd compared to the sky breaking at 100%.

    I have now counted at least five news crews plus one news helicopter. This is a small town whose normal population is 6,000 people!

    Got to Houlton hours early, so I popped over to Canada to see the World's Longest Covered Bridge. I have to say, it is impressively long.
