Kind notes

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 😅

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
