QUEENSLAND PARAMEDICS GRANT PATIENTS DYING WISH

[tachyonpub]

[thephantomcasebook]

you said that GRRM has been fighting hard to include daeron and i was wondering, has he said explicitly that daeron will be in s2?

Yeah.

In a Q&A on his Live Journal around 1x08, after Spotchnik was fired, GRRM announced that Daeron would be in the show.

And in an interview before the season finale he said that he looked forward to seeing Oldtown in depth and exploring a mystery there.

(I think this is the video)

As an aside, if you read the books, especially the Sam and Gilly Chapters of "A Dance of Dragons" and the prologue. You know that the High Tower is actually a place of magic and that the Hightowers are actually magicians. And that in the book of "Fire & Blood" Alicent has a touch of magic to her - the book saying that Alicent's beauty was almost bewitching. Also she was mistaken for being Targaryen by Old King Jaehaerys and by Viserys himself. Which, is because the Targaryen's elfin beauty is born from extreme exposure to Sorcery in the blood - which the Hightowers also have. Even in "A Song of Ice and Fire" Cersei notices that there is something almost supernatural about Margaery and the way her beauty beguiled people.

Which is why I think he has some story to tell with Daeron and the High Tower, especially since Daeron would've trained Tessarion in a completely different manner and method than how all the rest of the Targaryens trained their dragons since he was far from King's Landing.

In the original printing of "Fire & Blood" Daeron had a defined character on par with Aemond and Criston. However, over the years and reeddited releases after the show was announced, they cut more and more of his character till he and Criston became more after thoughts in the newest versions, because they didn't want to contradict the show canon.

Reeddit, six years old

6 years ago today, I gathered the courage to put Reeddit out there. To share it with other people. It was my first serious attempt at building a complete, frontend-only web-app.

Reeddit is basically an alternative way to browse reddit.com’s content. While I love to read and browse reddit.com, I never really liked their UI- specially on their mobile site, which was really cumbersome and ugly, at least back then.

Also, I wanted to become a proper web frontend developer! I had worked with Java for almost 4 years by then and sure, I had to work with HTML and CSS over the years, but it always felt like I was only scratching the surface, and JavaScript had always completely eluded me.

So this was, in my mind, the perfect way to address those things: I would design and build the reddit UI that I’d love to use, and by doing so, I would learn as much as I could about what frontend development really was, learn the proper foundation— JS included.

In the span of ~5 months, working a couple of hours every week after work and a bit more each weekend, I built a responsive, single-page web-app for just reading reddit. And by doing so, I had learnt so, so much about building things for the browser; how to tame the DOM (thanks to jQuery/Zepto!) and the Cascade, the Box Model, how to use Flexbox (so shiny and new back then!). And I had more or less built the alternative reddit client that I wanted.

But that was supposed to be it! I built it for me. So I could use it myself. I didn't consider publishing it on the web— not initially.

But after showing what I had done so far to a friend from work, he told me "you should put it out there! It's nice!", to which I said that wasn't in my plans because I didn't think it was good enough for people to use it and much less like it. And then he said "if you already find it useful or good for yourself, there will be others who will agree and use it as well".

And that made me realize: if there was a single person who finds Reeddit, uses it, likes it, and continues using it, that'd be a huge satisfaction for me. Enough of a reward.

So for a couple of days I worked on making Reeddit a bit more "presentable", and made sure it worked fine in all the browsers I had installed, which were desktop and mobile Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox.

And finally, on November 20th, 2012, I shared it with the world; first with my Twitter and Facebook network (announcement tweet), and then on reddit itself (thread on r/webdev).

I considered also showing it to Hacker News, but decided not to because I thought it was definitely not HN-worthy and that it would be shat upon if I did share it there. So I didn't. Silly me.

The reception on twitter and reddit was pretty much what I expected and hoped; people gave me good feedback, suggestions, and compliments. It was great. It felt good to share what I had worked on and to see it being well-received. I figured the cycle was complete. That the project was over as it had served its original purpose.

But it was far from over.

Less than 2 months later, during the first week of January 2013, someone :) shared Reeddit on Hacker News, and I only found out about it because after waking up that morning, I saw I was getting a lot notifications from people making tweets about Reeddit! All because of the weird machine that is Hacker News top posts.

So, I learned that there's a bunch of twitter bots that automatically tweet when a HN post receives certain amount of votes; here's reeddit getting 50 votes and here's reeddit getting 100 votes. And I guess people that follows these bots started reacting to those tweets and checking and tweeting about Reeddit. Then HN's post reached the top 2 spot on the frontpage.

And then it quickly reached the top of HackerNews' frontpage. Gulp.

The buzz generated by HN and Twitter was picked up by some big websites:

Designmodo tweeted about Reeddit.

Venture Beat published an article and tweeted about Reeddit.

Mashable published a video article about Reddit — although the actual video doesn't seem to work anymore. Boo.

And best of all, Alexis Ohanian himself tweeted about Reeddit.

It was crazy.

Those were a very awesome couple of days. It made the whole thing so incredibly rewarding. Much more than it already was.

But it was not over.

Even after the online buzz faded out, I learned of another benefit from it; I started getting approached by a few companies that were interested on me joining them as a frontend developer. One of them was a big one, and I couldn't believe it. And even though none of those worked out –as I would have had to move to a city I didn't really want to– the fact there was interest in my profile as frontend developer gave me the confidence to persue that path completely, and apply for Frontend Dev jobs in Amsterdam, which is what I really wanted.

Very fittingly, while using Reeddit myself one day and browsing the Amsterdam subreddit, I stumbled upon a post from someone sharing a job opening in the city, to which I replied with interest. Long (sub)story short, it was the experience and knowledge that I got from building Reeddit, and the confidence that its reception got gave me, what ultimately resulted and me getting a great job and moving to Amsterdam.

Afterwards, I continuously used Reeddit as my code playground, trying new things while fixing its bugs or adding new features, experimenting with new frameworks or libraries, or just applying the new things I'd learned at work. I believe I learned Sass/SCSS by migrating Reeddit's styles to it.

Reeddit has also received some open-source contributions during these years, which has always made so happy, humble, and very thankful, and has inspired me to give back— even though I don't do it as much as I should.

But it's been a while since I've done any work on Reeddit. I still love the product, but I feel like I've moved on from the codebase.

For almost 2 years now, I haven't really improved Reeddit. It got an improvement some weeks ago via a Pull Request on GitHub (yay open source!) but that's been pretty much it since years.

And it's actually a great feeling to see something you haven't had to support for a long time is still working fine. Of course, that's partially also thanks to Reddit itself not breaking its public API and to a very stable GitHub Pages service. But it's ultimately a testament to how wonderful The Web as a platform really is. How things that haven't been touched for years are still perfectly usable and accessible. I love it and don't take it for granted.

And I will try to make sure that my now-6-year-old Reeddit web-app stays usable and accessible in the future; but it's time to officially feature-freeze Reeddit.

It's time to move on.

To Reeddit 2.

Footnotes:

The first improvement to Reeddit after releasing it was done just around 30 minutes after sharing it on reddit and getting the suggestion to show previews for image posts, in the comments view.

For some time at the beginning of the published codebase, all the JS code was wrapped in a single jQuery/Zepto $.ready() function.

Firefox had no support for Flexbox back then, so I had to do some sort of browser detection and use Floats instead. Yikes.

Reeddit's UI was inspired by HNMobile, now known as HackerWeb, by @cheeaun. When I used HNMobile for the first time on my iPhone 4S, I remember being blown away by the fact a web-app could look and feel so smooth and native.

Yes, I'm building a new version of Reeddit!

Reflection

Hello guys! How are you?

I have visited Twitter these days because I wanted to see the repercussions on Sherlock's fourth season in some Latin countries (now these people are watching on Netflix) and what I see are compliments and compliments and compliments (seriously, there are many!). And do you know who these people are praising Season Four? They are the ones who knew Sherlock now, are those people who are not part of the fandom.

Sometimes it seems like being part of a fandom makes you become a picky person and also makes you lose the sense of magic in a show. I believe that the collective hysteria that Sherlock's fandom has simply ends all the joy that the show can provide. I'm not saying you're bound to like fourth season, but we can conclude that a hysterical fandom can contaminate and manipulate the emotions and also the thoughts of a lot of people.

Here in Brazil, Netflix released Sherlock on its official Facebook page and also on Twitter, which is something really rare, because other productions have never had this disclosure. And do you know why this disclosure happened? Because the fans asked. There were 340,000 views of the trailer and 25,000 reactions. A real success for a series that is not original from Netflix.

What is the conclusion? Sherlock is not only what we see on tumbrl or reeddit. Sherlock are not 2,000 people dissatisfied because their ship did not work or are just some people who speak badly of the cast or producers of the series in social networks. Sherlock has millions of admiring fans everywhere in the world. People who have no idea what fandom does. People who do not want their mental fanfics to be performed on the show. People who respect and enjoy the show according to the will of their creators.

Top best sub-reeddits for Bitcoin and Crypto trading #subreddit #bitcoin #crypto #forum #community #trading

Bitcoin and crypto trading can be a confusing process. The best way to make sense of things is to learn from the experts, and there are many experts on Reddit! Reddit is a treasure trove of information for crypto novices and experts alike. Depending on your interests, you can find subreddits dedicated to specific coins or tokens like Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC). You’ll also be…

Listen, Listen ... do not freak out!

In 24 hours "The Minsteral Boy" is going to be deleted along with "The Bonny Light Horseman" But listen, they're coming back, I promise. I just need to reorginized, reeddit continuity, and am going to add extra content.

 Like expanding George fighting in the Spanish Civil War as well as Sybbie running off to join her Nazi lover and coming in direct conflict with George and his 'Free Company' outfit fighting the "Condor Legion" at “The Battle of Talavera” during the war. 

I promise you, both stories will be rereleased with an extra edit and maybe even some added scenes. 

I just need everything to work together in cohesion so when I reach the big finale everything will fit together nicely. 

I promise you, you’re gonna get that Mary/Matthew reunion, just give it a little more time so that when he and Sybil are brought back from the dead after 20 years ... you know ... 

It makes sense  >_>

My Lists and Numbers from 2018

Same as the previous years, here's a bunch of lists and numbers from the things I did in 2018.

While writing this, I've realised that looking back at my own Twitter feed is a perfect way to recollect lots of the my year's highlights. And here I was thinking of using Twitter less, heh.

Places

I visited 5 cities in 4 countries. To get there and back, I traveled by train twice, and flew ten times.

London, England. First time visiting. It's uttely massive, so I felt like I didn't have the chance to see enough of it. What I did see was great.

Berlin, Germany.

Barcelona, Spain. Twice!

Cartagena and

Bogotá, Colombia. The food! <3.

Concerts

Steven Wilson @ AFAS, Amsterdam

Hamilton @ Victorian Palace Theater, London. This is one of this year's highlights. It was an incredible experience that I'd love to revisit.

Arcade Fire @ AHOY, Rotterdam

Motherwolf @ Melkweg, Amsterdam

CHVRCHES @ Tivoli, Utrecht

Nightwish @ Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam

Films

I love films. Going to the movies, watching films at home. Reading about them. Learning from them. This year, I decided to get a Cinevillepass, which basically allows me to watch films unlimitedly across 50+ movie theaters in The Netherlands for a monthly subscription. It's awesome, and it really made me go out to the movies more. I watched 25 films using the Cineville pass.

I also became a Pro member of Letterboxd, mostly to support the website and its service, as it has become my favourite place to geek out about films. And as it turns out, Pro members get a nice Stats page per year. Here's my 2018 Stats for Films:

In total, I watched 78 films — 63 of those were films I hadn't watched before, and the remaining 15 were rewatches. It amounted to 149 hours of movie-watching, or a bit more than 6 days.

I watched 5 of these films during a flight.

28 of these films I watched on Netflix.

My favourite film of the 2018 is Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. I was anticipating it since I watched the first teaser halfway through the year and it absolutely blew my already-high expectations. It's perfect.

My runner up is Roma; as a fan of Alfonso Cuarón, this feels like his magnum opus. A technical masterpiece.

Games

This year I stumbled upon IGDB.com, which is trying to be a mix of IMDb + Letterboxd but for gaming. I decided to use it as a way to keep track of my games.

Here's the list of all the games I played and the games I finished in 2018.

From the moment I finished it, I had no doubt; my favourite game of 2018 is God Of War.

My favourite games of the 2018 are:

God Of War.

Marvel's Spider-Man

Celeste

Hollow Knight

Guacamelee 2

Music

I feel like I listened to so much music, so many different stuff that it's a bit tricky to recollect. These is what pops out as I write this, as my favourite music this year:

Celeste OST — Rena Laine

Happy However After — The Reign Of Kindo

Love Is Dead — CHVRCHES

The Now Now — Gorillaz

At this point, Love Is Dead is tied with The Now Now for my favourite album of 2018.

Work

This year I left my job of 4.4 years, and the first one I got in The Netherlands, to join a promising and exciting scale-up to continue working and growing as a Frontend Developer in Tiqets. I decided to work 36 hours (so a day off every 2 weeks) and it's being a bliss and I've learned a lot. Here's to more of that for 2019!

I also started development of and announced Reeddit 2. Hope to release it in early 2019.

Other

I walked on ice! When the canals in Amsterdam froze early in the year, we got to walk on them. It was incredible, and scary!

I bought a new Telecaster guitar which pushed me to get better at guitar playing and inspired me to learn more about music theory, specially. Hopefully I'll make it something out of it in 2019.

I visited Efteling, which is like a Dutch version of Disneyland, sort of. Was wonderful.

Here's to an even better 2019.

Mi 2012

Llegó el momento de revisar las cosas destacadas de mi 2012, que estimo ha sido el año más genial que he vivido hasta ahora.

En 2012 tuve la oportunidad de visitar 4 países: 

Holanda, 

Francia, 

España y 

Bélgica.

Y disfrutar de 9 ciudades: 

Amsterdam, 

Rotterdam, 

Zaanse Schans, 

París, 

Barcelona, 

Madrid, 

Amberes, 

Bruselas y 

Caracas.

Para transportarme a todos estos sitios, me monté y viajé en: 

7 aviones, 

5 buses y 

2 trenes.

En estas ciudades, tuve el placer de conocer y compartir con varias personas especiales y geniales:

Freddy Peña - @fixr,

Fran Peña - @pentor y

Jaime Creixems - @webjac, en Madrid.

Igo Sánchez - en París y

Ravindra Harige y 

Denah De Roy, en Amsterdam.

En Madrid, tuve la gran fortuna de conocer y pasar un buen rato conversando con Dream Theater, mis ídolos y héroes musicales, después de verlos en vivo. 

También vi en vivo a Periphery en Madrid, y Protest The Hero, en Antwerp.

En 2012 desarrollé y publiqué Reeddit, un cliente web elástico y minimalista de Reddit.com, el cual tuvo muy buena recepción en la comunidad de desarrollo web del propio reddit.

También colaboré con la música de Stiled, un juego de puzzles para Android, hecho por un grupo de desarrolladores indie de Maracaibo llamado Flying Egg Studio.

Desarrollé principalmente con: Java (Hibernate/JPA, EJBs, GWT, GXT), HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3; y comencé a echarle un ojo a Obj-C, Ruby y Python. Pero principalmente descubrí mi pasión por La Web, su desarrollo, su valor e importancia. I want The Web to win.

En 2012 comencé a trabajar en 2 nuevos proyectos muy interesantes, ambiciosos y prometedores, así que 2013 ya se pinta como un gran año, lleno de muchos retos y promesas.

Y gracias a lo genial que resultó ser mi 2012, quiero seguir trabajando para lograr que 2013 sea aún mejor - no será tarea fácil.
