@evan @alt_text @ca_dmv_bot @mastodonusercount @APoD Did I miss the semi-finals somehow?

I did a funny thing in the late 00s, which taught me a lot about how a solution can be unfit for the problem at hand.

Partly inspired by my friend @evan, founder of Wikitravel among other things I tried to use Wikimedia to build an world-wide events site.

It got some amount of uptake and carried on for a year or so, but finally it turns out that the volume and volatility of event data do not lend itself to this kind of effort, and so I started writing scrapers.

@evan it seems kind of car centric.

@aredridel @evan

I interpreted the question to concern future moves. Now that we're Swiss a move to any EU country would be as hassle free as a move can be.

I don't think we'll do that, but our eldest is considering it for her next school.

@evan I'm going to start doing reverse wordle to find people's starter words.
