Very grateful to have had the opportunity to do a keynote at #EverythingOpen earlier this week, seems to have struck quite a chord with folks. More info and links on my blog. Thanks to all who helped along the way :)

This is a good summary of the perils of ESD. I continue to be surprised about how blase some folk can be about it, particularly the "I've never had an issue" mindset! Worth a read.... ifixit.com/News/63909/what-i… via @iFixit

I'm preparing some new content for the OpenTelemetry page on Grafana's website and I want to hear from you: what's your biggest question when it comes to using @opentelemetry and @grafana? And what's your biggest pain?

A great post from Marco on the work he and the team did over the last little while... :)
We wrote a piece on how we load tested Grafana Mimir at 1 billion active series and the challenges we found along the way. Let me know what you think!

The S-Band Transponder was the main radio transmitter/receiver on the Apollo missions to the Moon, communicating 239,000 miles back to Earth. We've wired one up and transmitted successfully through it with a big stack of test equipment. 🧵

Bought Smith/Kotzen ages ago, then promptly lost the CD. Unearthed in the home office today and finally given it a spin. Great stuff! Trying to work out who played B3 on "Glory Road" though - can't find any reference ? :) smithkotzen.com/
I'm writing a thread on my entire career, with stories stretching back almost 40 years. Warts and all. The few ups, the many downs. I'll add to it only while there's interest. Follow it here: xitter.cf/shahidkamal/status/143…

Another great visualisation from @matthen2 :)
one way to make a drawing from the digits of a number for pi, we draw follow (turn 3, turn 1, turn 4, turn 1, turn 5, turn 9, etc...) where between each turn you move forward 1 step, and 'turn 1' means 'turn 1 tenth of 360°'. it's very obvious which numbers are rational!
Julien and I have a bunch of folk in common, but none the less re-tweeting for reach @Anritsu maybe can help too?
On the off chance I know anyone who has useful info squirreled away, I would love a manual for an Anritsu programmable optical attenuator that actually has GPIB/SCPI commands listed, can't figure out what this wants

So cool to see this coming to fruition. It, I think, represents an unparalleled degree of openness throughout the process and a great demonstration of what can be accomplished by the open technical commons. Tip of the hat to @lkcl and all involved! @OpenPOWERorg
