I just *ironed a shirt* (for the first time in... years?) and put on fancier earrings. Shit's getting real.

Kia Ora, Auckland! Time to yell about satellites, for hopefully lots of you! #ProfSamLectureTour

@sundogplanets Was it a shirt or a blouse?

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@sundogplanets sorry about the shirt >.< but Hello & Welcome down here in the southern hemisphere ☺️

[melkyway@fouroclockfarms.club]

@sundogplanets ope, someone's been off the farm too long 😅

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@EricFielding Oh god I have no idea. I am bad at having nice things.

And OF COURSE there are 20 more Starlinks in orbit today than there were when I gave this talk yesterday. FUCK. Now 9,634 in orbit.

@sundogplanets I just heard about the UK's Dragonfire system for shooting unwanted crap out of the sky. Unfortunately it's unlikely to handle Starlink well.

@sundogplanets 😖 hate it.

@sundogplanets have a great lecture! And in case you need to clear your mind, the Auckland Art Gallery is a favourite of mine and is about a 5 minute walk from where I believe your lecture hall is. The building itself is quite cool, entry is free, it's nice and quiet and they had a really nice and varied collection when I used to visit.

@sundogplanets

Well done you for getting it ironed! I don't know if I'd remember how to iron one now.

(Ironing is such a silly waste of our planet's dwindling resources 😓)

Hope the lecture went well.

@sundogplanets isn't it so nice of them making sure you don't get bored and have to constantly update your slides

(/sarcasm, just in case it's not clear)
