Yeah to think we were SWELTERING just a little while ago. After the typhoon, I noticed that the leaves on the trees across the street were mostly all blown off. Looking closely what remained were brown! Fall!?

This shot was taken from this exact spot. Was driving by and thought it looked nice, so pulled over and got out of the vehicle https://www.google.co.jp/maps/place/33%C2%B048'03.4%22N+129%C2%B045'19.7%22E/@33.80095,129.7549188,298m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d33.8009501!4d129.7554659

The fishing village where we live on #ikijima #壱岐 It has cooled down quite a bit since the typhoon passed. The water is this really nice dark blue today, crested slightly by wind-whipped whitecaps.

RT @paul_c_watson: How can you even play football with that view in the background? Could even rival @B67Nuuk and some of @coachjoshshep’s…

Went into my room and found my 11yo daughter asleep in my bed. Gently woke her and coaxed her into her own bed. As her head hit her own pillow she blearily said “I have to get back to my Zoom meeting.” 😳

Iki is pretty good for beach going and camping… getting a little late for that now… looks like fall out there! 🍂

I am back on Ikijima now, but it would have been nice to meet you in person. Missed opportunity. Maybe next time you are in this area or in Kansai we can have a drink. 🍻

Keep the book clubs with Kate coming! Excellent work. Also, I’d add my vote for a Black History in Football show/series.

@dwvcd This one is for you: nice training facilities they have! Ladder practice on the far right. I didn’t notice this until I heard them yelling and looked over my shoulder.

Currently at the Dazaifu government office ruins. You can see the foundation stones for the pillars of this Heian era structure. This was the western seat of the Japanese government over a 1000 years ago. Now it is a prime dog-walking spot! 🐶

I didn’t even notice it in Kyoto when I was there last month. But I really noticed it during the morning rush in Fukuoka. Seemed like mostly salarymen…

So many people walking around Fukuoka without a mask (or chinmasking) compared to Iki. Maybe on the island people don’t really walk, and so just put in the mask when they go into a store. @ninja_padrino you have been to more cities recently, what do you think?

Nope, just a failed coder who turned into a manager. I took the path of the DARK SIDE! 😈 Through the years I have done every part of the startup (more than once!). The last few years was more about building teams and briefing (battling?) boards 💪, so not a lot of hands on.

On the other hand, if you are trying to learn how to code, what a great opportunity to try and do some real-world troubleshooting! 😉
[I say this with my sweetest sarcastic voice, because I have been where you are so many times… I feel your pain bro]

Unfortunately, probably not. Best to find someone who is familiar with the language/framework/stack you are working with to get some support. Sometimes reaching out to the creator helps (ie. if you post an issue) but not often in my experience.

Ah, so you are running into trouble getting someone’s thing on GH working… let me guess, is it node.js based? Is it well documented? It sounds like your problem might not be GH itself… (just an assumption on my part)

Great colours. I love when you get a temple that is proper old school painted. Usually I see them more in red (like below) but these are very green… like matching the forest. Lovely.

Nah, it was fine! And I wouldn’t mind a “feminine” place if I was with someone feminine (girl or boy!). But I am a middle aged, slightly pudgy white guy who looks like a paper company accountant… so I was a little outta place on my own at Carbon. 😅

A look at the inside. Used to be an insurance company building. Downstairs in the “under space” there are small rooms with really thick doors for meetings, 3D printer, and a soundproof room for calls. Reminded me of @CoWorkVernon’s bank safe/podcasting booth!

A-San: We should start a community for devs in Fukuoka to get together.
B-San: That’s a good idea.
A-San: We could have events, a coworking space, and a makerspace!
B-San: Awesome! But WHERE would we put it?
A-San: I know just the AWESOME spot…

Actually, I didn’t make it! Just down the street I ran into a Vietnamese place. Really miss “Asian” food since moving to Iki so had to get some pho 🍲

Probably the biggest revelation was how active the local rumour mill was. Everyone needed info — MORE was not enough. https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/1303284496268173312

Tackling the first cafe on this list: Carbon Coffee. Picked it randomly because it sounded tough & cool (like me! 🤪). But, it is attached to http://asobisystem.com a “culture” company for young women. 😅 The clientele is much younger and femaler than me. Coffee is good tho! 👍 https://twitter.com/ciaela/status/1303261997258084354

Dropped by the @startup_fukuoka They converted an old downtown elementary school into a consulting and coworking space. Sure do have the symbology down. You got your Steve quotes, WEO, and Drucker books decorating the place.
