PSA: If your #RStats actions at @github end in a nag 'Node.js 12 actions are deprecated.' as shown belowthen do an update as shown in the second picture and use actions/checkout@v3. I so look forward to having to do that for dozens of my repositories. 🤯

Have this week discovered the wonders of r2u (CRAN as Ubuntu Binaries) by @eddelbuettel. Takes away all the pain of installing R packages on Ubuntu by integrating with apt. Incredibly fast and all OS dependencies automatically taken care of. A revelation! eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

Currently home-alone (as "my wife left me" for a sabbatical month at Berkeley, plus some travel before and after) so I ✔️cooked a decent dinner sauce and froze half of it ✔️varying other half day by day: linguini y'day, rigatoni today, penne tomorrow 😀 cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/…

Today is Friday the 14th. I will still be looking over my shoulder all day as we C/C++ programmers are all so wary of off-by-one errors.

More #r2u in action: this time it fits into overall system management. During a daily `apt` update via `wajig` we see ten upgrades, seven new (all new CRAN packages). The update gets us new Ubuntu packages, new RStudio (via my PPA) plus one CRAN update - in one command. #rstats

Thrilled to have learned hat I will get to talk about #r2u at the upcoming Ontario Statistical Software Conference in Toronto! Very much looking forward to it, and now debating whether to be 'in person' or merely virtual... Come join me, and register at the link below. #rstats
A sneak peek at our preliminary speaker lineup for our first annual Statistical Software Conference. This is a one-day conference bringing together academic and industry participants to share best practices on developing statistical software. Learn more: bit.ly/3EqA23v

Thrilled to be speaking about #r2u to the #YEGRUG. This should also leave time for demos of the (simple!) setup and its use. I will present remotely (as I have attended remotely) so feel free to join the group. #rstats More about #r2u as always at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
Replying to @psolymos
And I am happy to announce that @eddelbuettel will present r2u at the October #YEGRUG meetup.com/edmonton-r-user-g…
