So, two weeks ago, Michel "Ketominer" from nodl_it told me "You're not at #BH2024 ? Too bad, I would have been able to introduce your to some people for nostr:npub16l9pnrkhhagkucjhxvvztz2czv9ex8s5u7yg80ghw9ccjp4j25pqaku4ha". Socially and physically, I was in deep red, I don't planned to go, and I was supposed to babysit my son.
...
One insomnia and few days later, thanks to my ex-wife's understanding, I finally was in Riga, and went to my first Nostr event, for #Nostriga , all alone (people I know from France and Switzerland arrived only on friday).
And while it cost me and I'm still exhausted, that was one of the best last-minute decision in my life.
The whole event (Nostriga, Baltic Honey Badger, BTCPayDay) was great, with a lost of meetings, discussions and laughs, but Nostriga was definitely something special for me.
The Nostr users & tech community is old enough to have self-criticism, discuss on PoC & scalability feedbacks, but is also young enough to have "everything to build" with this new protocol, with a lot of enthusiasm, effervescence and ingeniosity.
People were like "Oh, hey, how's doing, how comes you're here, are you building something with Nostr ?", and just with that, we talked, we talked, we talked, I met so many people from all around the world.
While I've experienced some Bitcoin event previously, at Nostriga, I was like jumping from my home watertank to the ocean, with exciting discussions, open-minded & friendly people, top-notch technicians, freedom-enthusiasms, fighters for a no-censorship and privacy-respectful world, and more.
Without tagging them, while it was really fun to meet familiar face so far from home (Polto, Darko, Michel, Max, Olga, Harry, Leo, Rolland, Lucas, Yves, Copin & more), I felt really lucky to meet people like Joel, Josh, Bayer, to be introduced to people like Abubakar or Odell, and even be able to make a be-BOP demo to Derek Ross (he was so kind, so nice, so accessible, it still feels unreal).
Clearly, this week will keep a special place in my memories, and while scheduling B-Only Annecy and Adopting Bitcoin El Salvador, I'm pretty sure that, next time, I'll be on Nostriga again.
The Nostrich will win <3 Let's build a new world.
BTW, my worse time of the week : after living 6 months in Louisiana and spend 8 days in Senegal, I felt quite comfortable with mosquitoes.
...
Not anymore.
Baltic mosquitoes nearly had me, I now live in fear despite my background.
Are they bio-engineered to be so resilient and so painful ?

Back at home after Riga. Too tired to explain the whole week, but it was awesome, so much amazing people to meet, talks, discussions and PoC. Proud to be able to light some interest and curiosity in people eyes with nostr:npub16l9pnrkhhagkucjhxvvztz2czv9ex8s5u7yg80ghw9ccjp4j25pqaku4ha here and here. I'll be back for sure.

La prophétie est accomplie, la terre de Montboillon sera bien protégée des forces de Vega, Dr Hell, l'empire des Dinosaures, l'empire Mykene et du royaume Yamatai. Et peut-être même les banquiers.

Allez, encore une dizaine de jours de projet informatique alimentaire pro (bien qu'intéressant) avant de pouvoir rattaquer les projets créatifs (bien que toujours pro), et peut-être même que pendant les fêtes y'aura le temps de faire les projets (pas encore) pro à base de robots géants.
A tous les gens qui codent des apps mobiles qui se basent sur du QR code : mais bordel, autorisez un mode "camera frontale" ou "lecture du QR code depuis une image", une lentille de caméra de smartphone qui se pète après une chute, ça arrive, et c'est rageant de se retrouver bloqué sur de l'identification QR Code à cause de ça.
Juste pour oublier mon seum que, ce soir, j'étais censé être à Ramonville pour voir Archive :'(

Demain, l'outil qu'on développe avec nostr:npub16nmp6sgk9j0k7afk5kyycdmx2f8xm5xjrgrean7lkw0mnzwjq78stks4sv part en campagne de tests d'intrusion, avant release.
Ca m'émeut, sachant que la plupart du temps, quand je bossais comme Analyst QA pro pour certaines grosses enseignes ou boîte, et bien... n'en faisaient pas, ou n'en faisaient qu'après une première exploitation de faille de sécurité.
Je suis un peu fier en tant que QA, mais, je l'avoue, largement stressé en tant que CPO 😱
