Week Notes 20#28 (3 mins read).
What happened in the week of 2020-07-06?
Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Tech Lead (Software Development Engineer 3) at Capital One UK where I'm working on Third Party API engineering.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our beautiful terror of a cat Morph.
I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.
I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible, instead of relying on other providers.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

I feel personally attacked by this tweet. I don't know how I'm going to continue to grow my wardrobe in a post-COVID world

My fiancé’s entire wardrobe is all tech “swag” that you get from conferences and joining new communities lol

Best thing about Bluetooth headphones and #RemoteWork? Being able to run for a quick wee mid-meeting, and no one knows
The best thing about #Morph getting soggy out in the rain is the way that Anna Dodson and I get to dry him off 😻
