Regarding ADPList: I volunteered early on but will be leaving as a mentee due to the founder's unethical actions (plagiarism, gaslighting). While I value the connections I've made, I can't support the platform.
I volunteered for ADPList when it first launched, being Vancouver's 1st ambassador and cheerleader. They wanted us to host events locally and life happened so I didn't reply to their requests for "volunteer" work in 2024.
I still meet wonderful people from the platform (recently connected to 3 PM's for informational interviews), the ethics of being there now bothers me.
In my research, I found this platform by Chris Mason of Intelligent People, i hope it helps Mentors & Mentees alike:

When you entered Mr. Fedell’s room, before you saw the man, you saw the swarm of books. But then, you’d find his eye contact with deep intent. A man of a thousand words, but his stare said it all. During my time with him, I read over 60 pieces of literature. But the quantities is not what’s important, it’s the thoughtfulness behind what you are reading. How it connects to both our inner workings and our outer world history.

W H E W i finally did it
- created my own polar graph in #pyqtgraph
- created a subclass that maps azimuth to theta (easy) and elevation to R (not hard, but not necessarily obvious for stereographic projection)
- used that to re-implement the faulty graph I made like....6 years ago? also had to find and rewrite a bunch of code to use a great-circle distance from a point rather than azimuth/elevation ranges #python #space #math
The original toot in this chain is from 1/3, so that's exactly two weeks of A B S O L U T E P A N I C on my part
I mean, it was my bug. And it's kind of a dumb bug. And it has been keeping me from my regular #coding and also from doing a good job as a #mentor for the super-fresh new-hire
But it's really #adhd #rsd perfectionism/terror that drove me for these two weeks. I could barely think straight. I should probably note this at my adhd evaluation on 1/30.

Good Evening fellow Tooteroonies !
The 1st #CyberMentoringMonday of the year is already ending.
If you’re looking for a #mentor or to learn more about #infosec or if you’re a professional just willing to give back to the community or to connect with peers, use this hashtag to #connect !
Happy Monday, Happy Week and Happy New Year!Don't forget to make this week full of kindness, positivity, knowledge, smiles and wisdom !
I'm in a weird position professionally and guess I am looking for a #mentor ? Maybe just someone more experienced than me to talk to and not necessarily some long term commitment of expectations? Growth just isn't going to happen where I'm at and I think I keep getting stuck in an under-/overqualified limbo.
Mainly work in #malwareanalysis #threatintel #detectionengineering with heavy #programming skills.
Always see #CyberMentorMondays does it do anything?
Calling #Drosophila #grad_students #postdoc and #pretenure #faculty to participate in FlyCROSS and be matched by a #mentor of your preferences to gain guidance to your unique needs !
Last January I wrote an article on the #Tutor #Mentor blog showing how @charlesgaba was raising millions for Dem candidates. I said "duplicate this" and raise money for youth serving organizations in your community.
The need will be greater now and in coming years. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2024/01/copy-this-idea-support-tutormentor.html

I've followed

@hrheingold for more than 15 years. Last week Howard drew my attention to Dave Winer, a digital pioneer, who's been blogging for 30 years!
I highlighted their work in my #Tutor #Mentor article at https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2024/10/dave-winer-blogger-for-30-years.html
Mentors in Tech (MinT) is a great organization that provides industry mentors to students at smaller and less-well-known colleges. I've been a #mentor for the past 3 years and overall its been a very rewarding experience for me*. MinT is well structured and accessible to mentors at all levels.
If you're in tech (intentionally broad) and looking for a way to give back, consider MinT!
* I declined for the 2024-'25 school year only because I just don't have the spoons.

Let's say you’re running #Apple #macOS 14.5 Sonoma on a MacBook 14-inch M1 Pro, with an Administrator account that has a standard set of #development tools and commonly needed casks installed via #homebrew. What is the #BestPractice for sharing access to the same set of #devtools and apps with another user on the same computer? Ideally we are not installing the tools twice, or giving root access to the other user. #security #programming #coders #momswhocode #mentor #kidswhocode #codeandcoffee

I created this graphic many years ago to show the consistent, on-going, effort needed to draw attention & support to every youth #tutor #mentor orgs in #Chicago. View at https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2023/07/helping-youth-in-high-poverty-areas.html
If someone maintains a list of programs everyone can point to it.
I led two different volunteer-based #tutor #mentor program in Chicago from 1975 to 2011.
Recruiting volunteers and students and keeping them involved for multiple years was what made the program valuable.
I share some yearbooks in this post. These show some of the activities that helped with retention. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2024/04/retaining-volunteers-in-tutormentor.html
1) Overdue call with a #mentor from back in the day. His excitement over my current situation reminded me (in spite of whatever isn’t yet perfect) how good things are right now.
2) I get to see the kiddo #swim laps with a #MiddleSchool proto-team (kind of the work-it-out stage) tomorrow. 1st time seeing it for me.
3) My team at work really like each other, and that warms my heart.
Bonus: #PizzaNight!

Hopefully will be posting some of my own #photography in the near future, would love to meet #ropebunny #model s eventually, once I get the basics down.
#safety first, always.
#consent #trust #testing #protection all necessary and good things.
