Kind notes

Q: What can you do as a consumer?

Answer from Jeremy: Use #Firefox and anti-tracking software Answer from Remy: Don't be a consumer - build for the Web platform, make and share things

Jeremy: Nowadays, having a website is "disruptive" - use that to your advantage!

#TechNott

A great point from @adactio - don't resign yourself to inevitability. We can change the way that the Web works, we can take back our control, as long as we fight for it. #TechNott #IndieWeb

"Reducing complexity increases chance of mass adoption" - this is the reason that folks are seeing this content on Twitter on #TechNott rather than directly on my own blog.

But the #IndieWeb are trying to make things better - come and help us build a better Web which works for you!

Also very cool to see the original Web browser had built-in developer tools to allow you to change the content / styles of any web page! #TechNott

This talk from @adactio and @rem at #TechNott is also really interesting to think about how websites and applications age, and potentially whether someone will be resurrecting something you've built in the future?

I thought I spotted a rel=webmention link on the slides earlier at #TechNott 🤓 #IndieWeb

Hand sanitiser being brought down the food queue is a great idea at #TechNott to prevent #coronavirus

I both really like the idea of, and am terrified of, not having a staging environment. Having seen how some folks treat their staging environment, I'd never wish users to experience that in production! #TechNott

#TechNott tonight is buzzing! We've got a packed room, and lots of faces I don't recognise - awesome stuff 🙌

Is anyone at #TechNott interested in #PHP? You're in luck, because Thursday is #PHPMiNDS and we've got the awesome @akrabat speaking about Slim 4: PHP's Microwebframework

More details on the website https://phpminds.org/ and the Meetup https://www.meetup.com/PHPMiNDS-in-Nottingham/events/268999773/

Very excited for the talks tonight at #TechNott - @NickyWrightson's talk at #DevOpsDays London was really insightful for how to run on-call right, and I've heard great things about the talk from @adactio and @rem - hope to see y'all there!

Nothing like a productive day coaching #tdd and writing something you're fairly proud of!

I thoroughly agree with @short_louise's comment at #WiTNotts about how the Ignite talks at #DevOpsDays is both incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating - 5 minutes of autoincrementing slides is quite a challenge!

Having coffee and a brownie at Wired before #WiTNotts tonight - very excited for the ⚡ Lightning Talks ⚡!

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - hope to see you there! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-FWdZAqhKZBnq

Not having my headphones at work yesterday really ruined my productivity - it's quite interesting how much I rely on them, and music, to help me focus

It may not be ready by the #IndieWeb newsletter tomorrow, but I'm hoping my web-based Micropub media endpoint upload client will be live this weekend - exactly what would fit for https://jlelse.blog/micro/2020/01/2020-01-01-frviz/

I was hoping to hack together a little thing to proxy multipart form requests via #Netlify functions this evening, but unfortunately it looks like Netlify doesn't support it, and it's less easy with AWS Lambda so I guess Spring Boot it is!

Just bought my #DevOpsDays London ticket! There are still £99 super early bird tickets at https://devopsdays.org/events/2020-london/welcome/

It's an awesome conference, which I'd thoroughly recommend - you can read about my time at https://www.jvt.me/tags/devopsdays/

Has there been a patch for #ApexLegends that I wasn't aware of? It appears that everyone has been nerfed because I'm magically able to not die instantly in games 😅 it can't be that I'm getting better

#Spotify's Discover Weekly is killing it this week!

It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-tkC9vJmpYDW1 hope to see you there!

#BirdsOfPrey was awesome. I'm writing some notes because I'm going to do an actual review of it, because it was so good but has had some pretty bad press. Feeling like I could go rob a police station with a confetti cannon right now!

Just got my first credit card! So of course the best way to prove whether I've got a high enough credit limit is to go to Five Guys 😂🍔

Folks using #Jenkins, how do you manage your jobs? Only through the UI? Or using #JobDsl? If not the latter, would you like a talk on being able to track all your jobs in repo and peer-review changes? While being able to quickly spit out duplicate jobs

The smell coming from Annie's Burger Shack as I walked past it is not helping my hunger!

Been a pretty good start to the day - woke up naturally with Hue, closed off a couple of stories just after standup, and spent the rest of the morning sending unsolicited positive feedback to colleagues and requesting some for myself - amazing what a good start to the day does for you!

I've just published the headlines of my #Spotify data for 2011-2019 on my site - https://www.jvt.me/series/music-in-review/ - organised per year, but also with a view across the whole decade! Enjoy a look into my music data #IndieWeb

I've found that the food tonight at #TechNott was even better than usual - is it maybe because there wasn't a huge queue to fight to the precious food?? I guess we won't know until next month, when the Spring Season starts!

What an intro from @UnchartedWorlds at #TechNott - is there anything that Jennifer can't do?!

I really hope that someone filmed @MrAndrew doing the announcement for #TechNott's seasons - the pace he went through the many awesome speakers lined up was so much fun - a very Andrew explosion of content! 😅

As @MrAndrew mentioned at #TechNott, @CapitalOneUK are hiring! Come have a chat about #LifeAtCapitalOne - we've got Software Development, Software Testing, Infrastructure Engineering, Management, Cyber Security and more at https://jobs.capitalone.co.uk

A (good) night's sleep is seriously the best #debugging trick you can use - managed to get a regex right the first time that was kicking my ass all evening yesterday!

I'm seriously wondering if #WiTNotts this month decided that to mix things up, we'd have https://twitter.com/SorrisoLearning for some stand-up comedy. Great talk, and lots of really interesting things to think about

I'm such a fan of the "selfless plug [to my blog]" - https://twitter.com/SorrisoLearning is on-brand for me! #WiTNotts

Woops, definitely leaving a bit late for #WiTNotts than planned - hope there are still seats!

I've just received the #Spotify data I'd requested in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/12/29/spotify-wrapped-data-request/ and am going to enjoy looking through all the data I've got from 2012-2020! I may even publish my own "Year in Review" of music.

Also for folks coming to #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham, beware that there aren't many places to charge laptops, so may be worth charging before you come!

Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub day! I've already done some stuff on my site today - managed to do a quick tweak on the bus

Pretty happy with first few games of #ApexLegends season 4 - some good changes to things, map is different and I even played a couple of games with Revenant 💀 - not sure I've sussed him out yet though

Anyone else seeing a weird issue where "tab closed" hangs around on #FirefoxPreview until you close another tab, then it disappears? V3.2.0 on Android 10

Reminder that on Wednesday its #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham! I hope to see you there to work on your personal website - be it new or existing https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-8IgcYeAQhIKX

So I sorted my Webmention sending issue after an incredibly frustrating day of fighting with Jackson parsing my XML sitemap. I'm still not sure what the issue was, as I've ended up replacing my POJO with another one, but 🤷🏽‍♂️ at least Webmentions are sending again

Just watched the finale of #TheGoodPlace - an emotional, but lovely and fitting end for a group that we've come to love

Woops, looks like I broke my Webmention sending yesterday when I upgraded all my versions of Spring / Spring Boot. That'd explain why things haven't syndicated to Twitter today. Film time now, so will fix tomorrow!

I interact a lot with Twitter from my website, and as such the interactions you see are i.e. "Like of @indiewebcamp's tweet" which isn't super helpful. So I've just added the ability to mark up my interactions with some context of what the post was so it's eaiser to see without navigating there.

This is using the awesome https://granary.io/ and will hopefully make reading Twitter interactions through my site much nicer!

You can see https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/02/ihnc5/ for an example of what it'll look like (including photos!), and https://indieweb.org/reply-context for more info from around the #indieweb

I wonder if some people blame the EU for pineapple on pizza... #brexshit

Happy #brexshitday / #brexshit. You can stop with those fireworks now.

Very interesting podcast about #OpenBanking and #StrongCustomerAuthentication. It's nice to hear some other folks' thoughts on what it looks like both as a bank and as a third party https://fi.11fs.com/573 #FintechInsider

Hope folks going to #fosdem this weekend have a great time. I decided not to go this year but will have a look through the talks and watch live/once they're uploaded
