So, hardfork 17 is going to be delayed. It was scheduled for release today. The earliest it may be seen would be next Tuesday the 28th. Will be interesting to see what develops in the coming days.

This is our monthly executive and membership meetings at the branch today. I am on the bar during the day so I get all the material ready and then setup the room after the seniors cards are over. I am hoping for a quick meeting.

We’re coming up on nominations next month and then elections in May with the new executive taking over on June 1st.

Onward to today’s rambling

The success in failure - learning from it.

One of the toughest lessons to learn in life is that mistakes and failure is normal. It doesn’t make you a failure to fail. Failing to learn and grow from failure can make you a failure. @tarazkp writes an interesting post on the topic.

What happens when you start to see people for what they truly are? A discussion...

@fayehalliday writes about the importance of trying to see people, including ourselves, for who we truly are instead of just the impressions we get from their actions. Sometimes, we’ll encounter someone who is lashing around and we think the person is just plain mean and angry. What that person may be is hurting and lashing out because of the hurt.

The Steemit Talk Podcast is recorded on it’s Discord server every Saturday. I don’t often listen to the podcast itself. I usually prefer to be in the Discord and listen to it happening but I couldn’t get in last Saturday and really wanted to hear this one. @kevinwong a North Korean user who is very active on the platform is being interviewed. He’s a prolific poster and very supportive of positive initiatives on the platform, like the Steemit Ramble :)
