Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Jenna Zeigen discusses front-end performance issues encountered by Slack as they continue to grow and evolve the desktop app.
By Jenna ZeigenWhen Microsoft Engineer Andres Freund noticed SSH was taking longer than usual he discovered a backdoor in xz utils, one of the underlying libraries for systemd, that had taken years to be put in place. The backdoor had found its way into testing releases of Linux distributions like Debian Sid, Fedora 41 and Fedora Rawhide but was caught before propagating into more highly used stable releases.

Nick, Congrats on putting up the most readable, down to earth, factual profile I've come across to date. "Semi professional", regarding the profile photo, is a nicely humble remark you threw out about yourself and I must say, we're not in a glamour contest here (on earth ;-), at least most of us. You've got some very admirable skills under your belt and I suspect you've had some fun in the process.
I'm sure you don't know how superior James Ward's presentation will be at the upcoming GatorJUG. You'll be pleasantly surprised. It's going to be a world class talk, and I know because I have known and respected James for many years. To be honest, I think it's a pity more people don't come out to these presentations because I bring in some sharp speakers. I benefit personally, and it's nice that I get some tech savvy "for free" out of this. But, you might let people know that this is an opportunity to learn from true professionals, and it's a shame for anyone interested in software dev to miss it. Like, what I mean is tell your friends!
Looking forward to meeting you. The food's going to be good, too. Hand crafted stuff....stay tuned - you'll see! All the best, Mike
