Hello Hello to all you fun-loving Hivians
What a weekend it has been, a veritable sublime Sunday if you will to finish off a wonderfully wicked weekend!
I am sure that you know that the weekend saw HiveFest8 being held in Rosarito in Mexico and there were some awesome presentations.
Hive is great, but what the fluff is it?
Listening to many of the presentations, I was hmm there are normal users who have not been onboarded and then there are people here for 4+ years so am sure know the bells and whistles, but for the most part new users will have no scooby doo what is going on techincal wise...
I think as many have said before it is time for the dapps and layer 2's to push the big boy layer 1 Hive to the next level.
People can get the hang of ecency, they can get Leo Finance, they already get Splinterlands and a heck of a lot of those players have no clue about Hive.
So I am all for simple onboarding methods. Infact I am going to have a go onboarding from now to the end of the year.
Well that is the theory... Let's see how we get on!
Today Rangers laboured to a 1-0 home win over Motherwell at football. Talk about chalk and cheese.
On Thursday we were swashbuckling and putting a big La Liga team to the sword, yet this afternoon we nearly screwed up!
Today was the birthday of Mrs T's elsest sister and the younger one sent a Just Eat meal to us so they could all celebrate on a videocall together.
The restaurant is called Pommies and they have a buffet in town. This was hot when it was delivered. The box is called a Munchie Box. The size was 16 fluffing inches!
It was delicious and we are a 1/3 of it. So no need for me to cook tomorrow or Tuesday probably too!
It even came with a big bottle of Irn Bru!
The price was pretty reasonable as far as I am concerned for the amount of food we received and the quality, taste and heat!
It was £22.50 delivered to our door.
I saw @joanstewart post today lamenting the loss to Ireland from the reigning world champions South Africa in the rugby world cup.
That could well have been the final as far as I am concerned, they are top in the world at the moment.
Unfortunately, Scotland are in the same group lol. Tough luck for us as we basically need to beat Ireland to qualify for the Quarter Finals.
Oh well miracles do happen on a daily basis.
Earlier on we had been listening to a podcast called Something rhymes with Purple which I think for any aspiring writers they might want to listen to. Or for any Silvers you might want to listen to this. It is pretty funny and is hosted by Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth.

All this podcast talk, don't forget that #napodpomo is coming up for it's 16th year if I remember right @epodcaster
For those of you who don't know Jennifer (@epodcaster) created #napodpomo! So are you going to publish a podcast episode daily in November?
That is my goal according to Matilda!
The reason I brought up the purple podcast is that they bring up three words from the Oxford dictionary that are not really used today.
So as I was writing my Saturday Savers Post up popped one word that I thought was so apt and immediately thought of 1 @shanibeer and 2 my fellow Saturday Savers Scot @hoosie!
The word is a Scottish word... with definition from here
forenail (Scots)
Alternative forms fornale
Verb: To pledge or earmark money for future use before it is earned.
Perhaps there should be a Saturday Savers word of the week!
My last word from the Purple show is not really a word as such. Because I know the majority of you will know it.
I am sure you all know the meaning of ASKEW
Well for something fun ... ask google what is askew!
Thanks for visiting and I wish you all a terrific rest of your day.
All images and ramblings are from me, the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless otherwise stated.

And remember no matter your DApp we are ALL Hivians together
Haste Ye Back!

Great food! I'm ready to onboard to the next level. We need to push Hive to the next level!
Very tasty food, and yes time to push it up and out there!
Year 16 coming up in just a few short weeks. November will be hear before we know it. So, now is a great time to plan. A few links for newbies:
National Podcast Post Home
NaPodPoMo Community on Hive
Yes! I hope to hear more wonderful audio goodness from Hivians during this year's annual event.
Well thank goodness for Matilda! I'm sure she has all her...er...um...I mean YOUR episodes planned out already. ;-)
So it is year 16 that is awesome!
Thank you for those links and I will be watching for your announcements. Since last year when I used anchor they have been gobble up by spotify, so things are always changing. I need to see what else is out there as the Hive one Aureal I think it was seemed to have some bugs. As for Matilda she is raring to go, even if she has no clue where she is going!
I definitely like the idea of onboarding people, but would feel more comfortable doing so into niche interest communities... but with the exception of LeoFinance, none really have their shyte together with tokens worth more than a tiny fraction of a cent.
I'll give it a whirl, regardless...
Niche communities is a way to go, and some other countries are doing that. The Philippines are great in onboarding users that stay within that community on Hive. There is a cool skating community from Brazil that are getting people. It is the way to go. Yes even in my short time I have seen so many community tokens be released that have gone to zilch.
There is one hell of a lot of animosity towards Khal and Leo Finance but they are trying, and you can't fault them for that.
Thats a large portion Ed! You may have a few days off from cooking by the looks of it!
Yes Steve, there was no cooking today or tomorrow hehe!
The munchie box looks pretty good !
My wife is Welsh, so we were watching the Wales vs Oz game last night - what a cracker, and we didnt expect the Welsh to beat them, never mind hammer them ! Although, to be fair, Wales are a good team, and can pull some great performances out of the bag.
Yeah can't beat a Munchie box when it is top notch.
Funnily enough I was talking to an Australian about them getting beating by Fiji was it? He was saying no surprise as Rugby Union is the FIFTH sport in Oz now
Even still it is a great result for the Welsh as they had been in the doldrums a wee bit.
Thanks bro!

That idea about the meal kit is pretty awesome. We did something similar with my inlaws during Covid, just so we could still spend time together even though we couldn't travel.
Yeah the munchie box is something all takeaway restaurants do over here.
Yeah technology is awesome now, I remeber when you could hardly get a phone line across the atlantic that did not crackle let alone be able to see faces all at once!
For sure. It used to be something out of science fiction!

@tengolotodo, I sent you anSo new words for my dictionary, hehe. It's been a long time since you taught me new words, Super Ed! ;)
I'm looking forward to November, and that new season of Matilda's podcast 😆
hehe and today thinking of you I included a couple more!
Ah yes Matilda and wondering if she will stick to podcasts or venture back to discord, she is not sure yet!
Matilda should do both. The podcast and the show;)
And maybe the show doesn't need to be every week
lol she says she likes these X Spaces
By the looks of it, you had a fluffing nice weekend, Tito Ed! And your munchie box made my stomach growl. That's a generous serving and you will surely be spared from cooking hehe!
And we look forward to Matilda's podcasts in November!
What divine food, it is one of the dishes of your country.
