A friend of mine has to deal with the Google Ads API, the associated PHP client library and the associated OAuth2 flow in a project and is not making much progress. He is looking for someone who is familiar with these technologies, who can support him as part of a small assignment and take a look at his code. Do I know anyone here who I can put him in touch with? Many thanks (also for boosting)! 🙏🏽

Notes: Mildura Writers Festival 2024 | Zachary Kai
What I learned or found interesting from attending my first Writers Festival! Table Of Contents Reading & Writing Place Into Being ...
Dear #a11y friends w/ screen readers: I just ran into the following question and haven't been able to do any testing myself yet, so your experience would help me a lot to start from: How accessible are the PDF viewers built into browsers? Do any of the browsers take into account the accessibility features in the PDF, or does the PDF itself hardly matter and the browsers ruin most of it anyway? Or is my intuition fooling me and the viewers are actually quite good? Thanks for your observations!
Berlin Letters 2024
🎬 The Royal Hotel

This really drew me in. It gets increasingly menacing and suspenseful. I think this movie really succeeds in showing how frightening (dangerous even) and really uncomfortable it can be as a young woman (waitress) amongst a horde of men.
Acting was 👌. Hearing some Aussie accent was, too.
Anyhow, I'll now have a Dickin's Cider (sorry! 🫣).
🎬 Pearl

Liked how this looked. Loved Mia Goth's acting, in particular her long monologue and that end scene where she makes faces for a minute or two. The plot could have been a little more focused, but overall a well-rounded, well-entertaining film.

The birthdays continue. It's Easter. Another studio visit. Beyond Tellerrand conference. A poker night. And the all the stuff in between.
🎬 Split

I liked Anya Taylor-Joy's performance. And James McAvoy is good, too. But the movie as a whole did not grip me. I just didn't find it suspenseful. The main character is not menacing enough. And there's way too much going on, and as a result the plot suffers. A bit of an eye-roller.

I’m on a roll!
Three birthdays and a studio visit.
🎬 Late Night with the Devil

Such a great plot and so well executed. I assume this is a pretty low budget film, and all the more respect to make it so entertaining. Spooky, suspenseful, with great acting and some nice gory special effects.
🎬 Peeping Tom

It was late when we started this, and I didn't pay full attention the whole time. But this was still a fantastic surprise. A great story with a really creepy dude and a lot of suspense. Never seen it in a movie old movie like this. But it did remind me of Psycho. Generally this was pretty Hitchcock-like. And Hitchcock I like. And so do I like this one. Recommended!
🎬 Four Flies on Grey Velvet

*sigh* Argento! He has really good ideas and can certainly film those, too. But the crazy outrageous story and unbelievable dialogue still annoys me.

📖 Wer jetzt noch umblättert ist selber schuld - 10 Jahre The Hirsch Effekt aus der Sicht von mir – Nils Wittrock
Im Gegensatz zu Nicole bin ich nicht der größte „The Hirsch Effekt“-Fan. Aber dieses Buch des Sänger-Gitarristen hat mich dann doch interessiert.
Das Hörbuch ist von ihm selber gelesen, und er erzählt alle möglichen Geschichten und Anekdoten, die er mit der Band über die Jahre so erlebt hat. Fand ich sehr interessant und unterhaltsam. Und ich kann das jedem empfehlen, der auch in Bands spielt oder gespielt hat.
Ich fand gut, dass Nils an einer Stelle einfach mal so rülpst. Ja, ich bin einfach zu begeistern.
🎬 Maybe... Maybe Not

Haha. Hab den seit meinen Teenager-Tagen nicht gesehen. Und jetzt kam der im Kino, was ich mir nicht entgehen lassen konnte. Ich fand den früher definitiv besser, aber es war trotzdem ein lustiges Unterfangen. Es ist alles sehr Klischeehaft und die Gags sind vielleicht überholt, aber unterhaltsam ist es allemal. Joachim Krol, Rufus Beck und Armin Rohde sind Gold! Ich bereue nichts. ;-)
