Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

Today looking at what can be done in the next few weeks to progress a (on-site physical) project before I take 4 days leave for #fibretron helping with one of the vendors while keeping an eye on socials for a startup #nzpol party who need help growing from teenage memes to a real force of social unity in the fragment that is the minor (and yet to be) parties.

Fostering the dreams while paying the bills with reality.

I guess I'm a dork because I clicked on that thinking fibretron would be something to do with the internet

It’s an interesting crossover as an internet connected generation starts knitting. You see those yarn bombing militant knitters too. It has all the social and community things that happen online, but is physically creating things.

With fibre from I’m supporting my DW in her addictions and helping others be more awesome with their yarn addictions too, but the closest I can claim to knitting fame is I got a t-shirt (with the slogan “weapons of mass construction” on it) for attempting to knit backwards.
