Got an idea for next month's banner?
In late breaking garden news: went out for the first time since my trip away last month and there's a small (1m) swan plant back beside the lemon tree that somehow has two chrysalises on it and two caterpillars since I last looked!!!
I'm over the moon, really thought we weren't getting anyone this year.
Rainy day and there's a dove huddled in the plum tree, just staring at the house. I love doves.
Wow, that feels late for chrysalises! Our were all gone a month back. Terrible weather here so it was lucky they were.
Yeah if it gets much colder we will have to bring them inside to finish developing. But it's comparatively warm up here.
Yeah I hear you can grow coffee up your way, must be tropical!
Well, today is my last day at work before starting a well earned holiday - somehow I have managed to accumulate a full 2 months off
Sweet gig! Hope you enjoy 🫡
Wow, sounds like it's about time you had a holiday!
Got big plans or just a staycation?
thinking of heading down south for a few weeks at some point with the kids
Hope you have an awesome time!
Looking at another camper or two this weekend to make the trip in (have looked a one and a bus so far)
Nice! If my memory is correct, @Axisential@lemmy.nz (who hasn't been around recently so probably won't see this) runs a business on the West Coast that does caving trips for all ages. Something to consider!
Rad! I'd love to get down there again
May have been covered before, but out of curiosity, are people here reasonably tech savvy?
I would say many people are, but not exclusively. There are plenty of non-technical people around, but I'd say we have a much higher proportion of tech savviness.
If you're interested, we did a census survey last year to learn about our users.
Over half of us work in IT. But many people don't!
I'm actually working on a new one at the moment for this year, the survey should be posted in the not too distant future. I've been working with lemmy.ca who were the inspiration for our one last year, to refine a set of questions.
Oh cool. Thanks for this!
well, as dave said, many of us are.
for the Census that dave mentioned, I may be an outlier as Im very tech-savy but don't work in IT
