First time back dining in at Dosanko Restaurant after almost 2 years. House made tsukemono (pickles) — including local fiddleheads. To finish, their own 3 year old umeboshi (plum wine). http://dosankorestaurant.ca/

Tonight is our third swim in the city pool at New Brighton Park. You need to book a 1.5 hour slot, so this picture is as the previous time slot clears out.

Stopped in at the new Nemesis next to Emily Carr. Incredibly gorgeous building, filled with delicious coffee & pastries & a bit of brunch.

Miso Pork was the “sausage of the day” at Oyama today.

Kaisereck on Granville Island now has a patio.

Currywurst, Schnitzel plates, and German wheat beer. The fries are excellent!

Single CLA - a contributor licensing agreement (CLA) that an individual dev only has to sign once & keep in their own git repo.

Great work by Kyle Mitchell, more in the forum https://forum.artlessdevices.com/t/project-single-cla/254 https://github.com/singlecla/singlecla

Testing a Pixelfed instance @practicedao

Also thanks to @rosano I’ve totally gone down the Cloudron rabbit hole 🕳

A long weekend on Bowen, in pictures;:

shady forest walk
huckleberries are ripe
Crowsnest Riesling, dry, very nice flavour, that I’ll write more about
Bowen Bay beach, where I had my first ocean swim of the season

Amusingly, I registered ‘indiegit’ about a year ago.

I went ahead and used DigitalOcean to install Cloudron, and used that to install Gitea.

The “Migrate from GitHub” is pretty straightforward.

I was reminded by @and_how that we’re just past the 10 year anniversary of HTML5 Summer DevFest, one of the first events we did together.

Here’s to many more post-pandemic events, including #22022022

A lot of thanks are owed to Kyle Mitchell for his amazing work in pioneering, evolving, and plain English improving various open licenses.

He has just published a round up of the licenses he has worked on. https://writing.kemitchell.com/2021/06/21/License-Round-Up.html

Bikes at Burnaby Lake. It was extremely sunny and hot, but with a nice breeze. We didn’t last long at our usual bench — we found some shade and lay in the grass.
