New to this instance but not to #Mastodon. Used to be @cybette@mastoton.fi but that instance went offline since beginning of 2019 with no way of contacting the admin. Thanks @xvilo for the cordial invitation and here I am! I get another chance at #myfirsttoot, not sure what else to write, as all I really want to do is reconnect with people and resume the conversations.
Took a ride couple days ago in the new #Tampere tram - comfortable, clean, convenient, and cool (especially nice in this record-breaking hot summer).
Revisited the "Gates of Silverwood Manor" investigation and wound up with a similar ending as the previous time... seems we're stuck in a loop. At least we got to party with all the thralls!

Getting too old for this, for the 1-hour session we had, I might have jumped a total of 10-15 minutes. Still, it was fun.

Played #MansionsofMadness - "Murder on the Stargazer Majestic" scenario, after watching "Murder on the Orient Express" yesterday. Both investigations concluded somewhat unsatisfactorily, but both still enjoyable with the nice visuals.

My 8th #EscapeRoom, first one in #Tampere and haven't done one since Dec 2019. Maybe I'm a bit rusty or maybe I'm still recovering from my surgery, but I couldn't focus and at one point I was hyperventilating. Not my best moment. We didn't escape the room and I'm mostly to blame.
Also went to #PrisonIsland #Tampere today, cool challenges but some are quite physical and probably not the best idea while recovering from a surgery (albeit minor) https://www.prisonisland.fi/tampere/
This big cat (I'm a Leo) went to Purnauskis today to enjoy some relaxing times with other cats 😺

Nice interview of @JoshStrobl by @gamingonlinux about #Solus (and more) : « Nobody starts out as an expert and you will find the best way of learning is to just start doing. Don't be afraid to ask questions and don't be afraid of failure. Do not pay any mind to the nay-sayers telling you to not to build your own application or game just because something else might already exist that does something similar. » https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/07/a-chat-with-joshua-strobl-of-the-solus-linux-distribution

Incredibly exciting to get official confirmation that Germany's health service (@gematik1@twitter.com) has standardised on Matrix for secure decentralised communications, targeting all 150,000 healthcare organisations in Germany(!!!) 🤯 Read all about it at https://matrix.org/blog/2021/07/21/germanys-national-healthcare-system-adopts-matrix 💉🇩🇪🚀
#Nokia Smart Lighting.... Interesting 🤔💡
But seems to be US only for now.
