Kind notes

Enjoying remote #NottsJS so far - @mr_goodwin's intro to Web Security was well summed up by "(the Cyber security team) put the 'no' in 'innovation'"

It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow, which again will only be available for Nottingham folks - apologies in advance! The Zoom link will be available on the Tech Nottingham slack before the event https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-h2HHF0o7NPtg

Woo! Got #Micropub edit functionality working 🙌 https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/jvt.me/-/commit/fda688f955c351000095a7e5c8ee294513afad6b is my first update through the API. Next will be getting my syndication links auto updated once syndication is reported as successful, but not one to do tonight

Just had my easiest game of #ApexLegends just now, where most of the other squads lagged out, leaving just 3 including me left, and then I somehow won in the end because even though I was outside the ring, it looks like the other played disconnected first 😂

It's 1700 and Anna Dodson and I are only just eating an Easter egg. We've definitely done something wrong 🤔

With apologies to Mattias Geniar and Jan-Piet Mens after their conversation on @SysCast_Online - I don't write POSIX scripts, and instead use GNU tools, even on BSD https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/04/11/bad-posix-citizen/

Made some good progress on my Micropub edit/delete functionality today - hopefully will be in a state to look at getting live tomorrow 🙌🏼

For folks running #Tomcat in Production, you may not be aware that there's an opportunity for it to log (potentially sensitive) cookies out-of-the-box - I've shared how you can resolve it in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/04/07/tomcat-cookie-disclosure/

The height of a pandemic really is the time for the monitor you use for work to start to play up 🙄 at least I've got the laptop screen

So some refactoring I did in my Micropub endpoint resulted in me breaking it 😅 looks like I have a gap in my testing of how Jackson serialises data

PSA to folks with washing machines that sit under a counter with a little space on top - next time you're cleaning, pull it out. I've just found a treasure trove of washing up gloves, dishcloths, tubs and a bowl!

I'm really surprised that with all the other amazing stuff Dyson have made, they've not yet made a vacuum cleaner that doesn't scare animals 🤷🏽‍♂️

So turns out that when I said "yes dinner is ready" to Anna Dodson I actually meant "I put it in the oven on the wrong temperature and dinner isn't cooked yet" 😳

For those of you that weren't able to make Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts, it's on her YouTube channel 🙌 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fybQ2oId1I4

And for folks who've rightfully come out of Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts wanting to start blogging, there's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham which is every other week (online) and is a great space to put two hours aside to blog / work on your website

Another good point by Pauline Narvas - be careful about oversharing / sharing things that may make hurt you/your company's public image, as well as hurt folks you know #WiTNotts

I'm enjoying how Pauline Narvas has answered lots of questions with "I'll send you a blog post I've written about this", it's nice to see someone other than me doing it 😅 #WiTNotts

YES! Pauline Narvas's comment at #WiTNotts about having blogging influence the quality/length of her Pull Request descriptions resonates massively with me. Since doing more blogging / technical writing I've found that my written communication has improved greatly - or maybe it's just more verbose 😅

Really lovely to hear how much of an inspiration Pauline Narvas's blog has had on building communities and inspiring folks to do things #WiTNotts

"Blogging is more (to me) than the amount of views per month.. it can be whatever you want it to be" - great point by Pauline Narvas about how when blogging you shouldn't try to fit the niche - it's something I try to practice too by writing for myself under "blogumentation" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ #WiTNotts

Just pushed a fix for meetup-mf2.jvt.me as it's not handling the Online events very well - it should now respond a bit better

Been a great kickoff from Anna Dodson and @LittleHelli to start #WiTNotts and we're about to have to Pauline Narvas's talk Thoughts to Pixels: the impact of blogging

Hey Terence Eden https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector may be of interest to you in relation to https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/03/zooms-forced-app-is-irresponsible/ (if you've not already seen it) as a way to auto-redirect to the browser client, not the native client

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - we're online only on Zoom, and I'll share the link in the Tech Nottingham Slack for Nottingham folks https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-UpVd9JZeVzx6

Putting my washing away while pair programming with a colleague - this is peak working from home!

Do I know of anyone using (Arch) #Linux on a new Dell XPS 13 9300? I'm very tempted to get one (in maybe a couple of months) but wonder what support is like? Especially the fingerprint sensor

Currently enjoying an opt-in #mindfulness session with the rest of the company - some good tips to help us cope better with everything going on right now, and nice to have continued investment in myself and my colleagues #LifeAtCapitalOne

Only a few episodes into #DesignatedSurvivor, but Anna Dodson and I are really enjoying it!

Hey https://twitter.com/CraigBurgess/ I've just noticed that https://getdoingthings.com/homebrew-website-club-barnsley-1/ is returning 404s, did you mean to delete it?

Great thing about my new Bluetooth headphones? I can pace while attending meetings, because I don't exactly get as much exercise as pre-#coronavirus home working! At least when my video is off, that is

I can now produce platform-aware @-mentions of folks on my blog! For instance Anna Dodson has her URL linked on my site, but her Twitter account when this post appears on Twitter. Read more at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/03/22/at-mention-people/

The real victim of #coronavirus is that McDonald's Monopoly is being postponed 😢

Although #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham is not at Ludorati (as it's online this time) I've still got myself a tea and a snack!

#HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham is on Zoom tonight, courtesy of the wonderful #IndieWeb organisers - you can find all the events details on https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-anniversary-edition--Rcujt5SykHv1

Anyone in the #Hugo community able to give me a hand with https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/date-based-pagination-one-list-page-per-day/23870/3 ? I'm trying to get pagination working so I have one page per day (with all the posts per day) but I can't seem to get the right incantation, if even possible?

It is with regret (but pragmatism!) that I announce that the #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham anniversary meal on Wednesday (https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-anniversary-edition--Rcujt5SykHv1) is postponed.

We'll instead meet on https://technottingham.com/slack - and will plan to do so for the forseable future.

Doh - just hit the 2GB RAM limit on the VPS that hosts www-api.jvt.me and a few other services I host. Thankfully it's incredibly easy to rescale the instance on @hetzner_online and within a couple of minutes I'm back up and running with 4GB!

Been a great day at #IndieWebCamp London - thanks for some great conversations. Got several things I may work on at tomorrow's hack day, so will have to see what I end up doing

We had a good session earlier talking about how to set up #Micropub with static websites at #IndieWebCamp London https://etherpad.indieweb.org/staticmicropub

Sending content to your personal website using #Micropub via #Emacs? If I'm honest, I'm surprised it's only just been done! Cool stuff https://doubleloop.net

I really like @BarryF's website https://barryfrost.com/ - may look to take some inspiration from you 👀

It's about time to demo my personal website at #IndieWebCamp London - I've got some pre-written notes about what I want to talk about on https://etherpad.indieweb.org/IWC_London_Site_demos although some of you who know me will know I can talk for ages about my site and the #IndieWeb!

Happy #PSD2 deadline day! Hope to see some great usages of Open Banking over the coming weeks/months.

Has Green Giant changed their 🌽 recipe? Cause it does not taste as lovely and sweet any more 😢

Very excited for #IndieWebCamp London tomorrow - it may not be in person due to #coronavirus but the IndieWebCamp events are built to be remote friendly - and regardless of where we are it'll be a great time. We are a distributed bunch, after all

Working from home: day 1/?

#IndieWeb folks who still interact with Twitter - how do you consume it? Do you use Twitter.com and share it to your ie Micropub client? Do you subscribe to it with your Microsub / Social Reader? Or something else?

When we're all self isolating from the #coronavirus, I'm sure gonna miss nacho day at work 😢

Why is the Old El Paso Smoky BBQ mix just so good??

Well that was a day 😅
