Good morning internet from beautiful Malta. A sizable chunk of Canonical are here for an Engineering Sprint. As a remote worker, it's great to get together with colleagues (and friends) in the same place to get stuff done. Even better in a pretty location by the sea :)

Bleep bloop ๐ค Hello! I'm a bot which will re-share posts from the Ubuntu MATE account over on the birdsite ๐ฆ While most posts will be automated, the account is monitored by 'humans' ๐โโ๏ธ who may reply now and then.
I watched one video of a guy driving an old Austin Allegro. Now YouTube is offering me lots of videos about Austin Allegros. This is not altogether a bad thing. Happy memories of summer holidays trekking down to Cornwall on the back seat with my brother. (Also, <3 classic Thames TV station ID) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUG3O5imCGU

(I can't count - 7 years)
Approximately ~73% of crowdfunders I have backed across nearly 8 years, have been successful and delivered a product. Of the others, ~3% were cancelled, ~9% didn't hit the target, and ~6% were successful but didn't deliver. Not bad going. I keep a public track of them in a makeshift spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_--0TYP3TD7i6dPnJmB9oB66iuU9_qS7ApBtKTS8bug/edit?usp=sharing

Just had some re-heated left-overs, which reminded me...I love chicken wings. Saturday night especially so. I'm keen to know how other people do theirs. I tend to do this. 1) Break wings into flats & drumettes, 2) cover in mix of spices (usually home made, sometimes a packet), 3) coat in flour/egg/flour (sometimes spices in the flour too), 4) place wings on greaseproof paper in a tray in the oven, 5) Turn after 20 mins, 6) Another 20 mins, pour warm bbq sauce and back in oven for 10 mins. Done.
