Rob Farley

Felt good to submit a couple of conference sessions today. September already has two sessions booked, and now maybe a third. Plus my first conference submission for 2026.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social I’ve left you an “Audience Reacts” thing, by the way.

A selfie of Mark Watson and Rob Farley

Mark Watson gesticulating on stage with a microphone, photo is monochromatic, but Mark’s emotion in his show was anything but.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Great show tonight.

Yeah. He’s 5’7”. Greg is 6’8”

Imagine him standing next to Florence Pugh. He’s 16 inches taller than she is.

Wait, Marvel has a character called Taskmaster, and it’s not Greg Davies?

Thanks! lobsterpot.com.au/blog/2025/02... #tsql2sday

Aren’t there only 455 players eliminated? So why is it ₩‎45.6B?

The round-up is now published: lobsterpot.com.au/blog/2025/01...

Cheers Kev!

Yeah, I recognise that feeling. It’s not always a good feeling, mind you…

300? That’s so cool

My post is at lobsterpot.com.au/blog/2025/01... #tsql2sday

I should post on LinkedIn more than I do. Like, as well as my WP site

Ok, not that I guess. Just an idea….

What about posting straight onto LinkedIn?

Just a reminder that this month’s T-SQL Tuesday is tomorrow. I’m looking forward to reading whatever you have to say about integrity.

I’ve had similar thoughts recently. I’ve had writers block for too long (a particularly crap 2024 in too many ways didn’t help)

This month's T-SQL Tuesday #tsql2sday sees me hosting, not just writing. Got thoughts about integrity? Could be in the data world, the professional world, or whatever world you want to write about. If so, this invite is for you! lobsterpot.com.au/blog/2025/01...

Seeya 2024. Don’t let the door hit you, etc.

The notification screen on my phone, at 7:47am on Christmas Day. There is a notification from LinkedIn, suggesting I follow the Chief Executive of Suicide Prevention Australia.

Spotify: Here’s some music you like, based on what been listening to this year.

Duolingo: Bonjour! Dzień dobry! You’ll be able to understand this, based on how many foreign words you’ve learned this year.

LinkedIn: I’ve got this…

@justrie.bsky.social Eve-Eve Day!

They’re missing a cherry. Taste the same though.

But they’re exceedingly good!

My Christmassy one would be marzipan. I’m the only one in my immediate family would likes it.

True, that 4-state barcode lets people see the DPID of my address, which can then be looked up in a database of addresses. Or people can find me in the White Pages.

I noticed :)

Well, when I send them some they can tell me if it’s serious or not

I think it’s funny that now I’m 50 they’re suddenly okay with me posting them this.

Everyone here gets asked to send the govt some of their poo when they turn 50. I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago, so I’m sure I’m fine.
