Seeing lots of new (and familiar!) faces this morning. Hi friends!

Haven't had coffee, so no coherent thoughts but here's my #cat Farrah welcoming you to the fold.

You'll be seeing a lot more of her when I'm back in the US in February.

Bring Feature Requests to Your Instance Admin 

Addendum to do not assume anyone's UI/UX, you might see someone on another instance mention a feature you do not have. Kindly ask your instance admin if the feature is available, and if not, could they add it. There may need to be an instance-local discussion about it, but that's part of the experience!

DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE'S UI/UX IS THE SAME 

ok I have made this mistake like three or four times and I have to write it down to remember it

DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE'S UI/UX IS THE SAME AS MINE

The has many different clients and even with the same client like different instances may be using different versions and with different extensions.

I think I will continue to share as I discover them, but I have to remember to refrain from bringing up feature speculations with users from other instances.

Next speaker for #biodata22 is Johannes Koster (@johanneskoester) with "Rapidly configurable, portable, interactive visualization of arbitrary tabular results".

Tables are a central part of many analyses, but often are not *just* a table (e.g. relationship, visualization, etc.). Needed a consistent way with low overhead to take tables + relationships + visualization definitions and create portable outputs.

Solution: datavzrd #Rust (similar to "Data Wizard") github.com/koesterlab/datavzrd

Trying out a small language change:

🙅 “what did I accomplish today”
💁 “what did I contribute today”

I don’t need to achieve, to belong.

Just to show I have other interests besides media and Twitter, I thought I would share a post from my personal blog, about a rabbit hole I went down -- one of my favourites, involving would-be European royalty, who claim that they are prince or duke or duchess of some imaginary kingdom or other. Classic European nonsense! If you like this sort of thing, I have a whole newsletter about it, called When The Going Gets Weird -- you can find it at newsletter.mathewingram.com mathewingram.com/work/index.ph

A short example of how to update a replication package.

I got to make an emote for my favorite study streamer, OOPMarie.
Check her out for a chill and upbeat time.

music... 

I don't talk much about music on the other site, but why not start here. Anyway, the YouTube algorithm (see, not *all* algorithms are bad) served this up for me last night, and this is an astoundingly good jazz cover of the Beatles. I'm a fan of Grace, but had never seen this youtube.com/watch?v=EvYw0OEVXN

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it

The "Weird Old Book Finder"

Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: weird-old-book-finder.glitch.m

Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*

Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
