Advice from my 8 year old: "Clock maths is not real maths"

I really think he's onto something

I’m between 3 and 4 now which means we’ll be close to success after a lil breakdown 😂 brb

finally got one of those SMS spam texts from my own number that I'd heard about online and let me tell you: it sucks that there's no way to block future spam from these evil jerks wtf

Structure to help me try to stay focused and giving me some space at the same time.

at #IETF113 @vibronet steps up to the mic to propose an interoperable mechanism for step-up authentication in OAuth 2.0

Having those conversations in person is so incredibly effective. Excellent discussion, looking forward for next steps

Is there a good standard for representing a datetime+timezone as a string?
