Kind notes

Happy fifth birthday to PHPMiNDS - here's to five more years of a great meetup!

Had an awesome time at the #NottTechParty tonight - #WiFiWars is always an awesome time, and the festivities were extra fun. Doesn't hurt that I came third overall, too!

Watching #TheGrinch with my sister (remotely) which means it's now officially #Christmas!

Well, tonight at #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham I managed to get my staging site using my new #indieauth server, and aside from a couple of hiccups, it works 🎉 now I just need to clean up a few bits and add some logging for debugging, then we're good to go 😱

As December is a pretty busy month, this week's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham will be the last of the year - so we're going to look back at the year, and try to see some of the good in it. Note that it's on Thursday, not Wednesday!

Folks who work a lot with #OpenApi - is there a way to specify different securitySchemes and different headers based on what type of server is being used? I.e. to clarify between local/integrated systems?

Today has mostly been rocking along to new heartbreak - sad alex and it's been pretty great

Is it just me, or does Koven's song Speaking Through Smoke Detectors sound like it could be a Bond theme song?

Does anyone know why traffic for X509 fingerprints may have increased? Seeing a significant rise in hits on my site, but that could just be I'm ranked higher now 🤷🏽‍♂️

#TheMandalorian was very good - can't believe we've only just gotten around to watching it, but at least not long until season 2!

A perfect Friday evening with Anna Dodson - we've got Asda 🍕, #TheBoys, a fire, and we're just about to (finally) start #TheMandalorian

First day in the new team! Very exciting, and kicking it off with PI planning. Sad to be leaving Asgard, but looking forward to working with the Purple Pandas and getting stuck in as a new team 🙌

Almost two years(!) late, but I've finally written up my solution for unit testing #Auth0 rules https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/10/01/unit-test-auth0-rule/ which I formulated at #hackference!

Choosing a team name is a pretty stressful thing 😱 but we're now the Pandemic Pandas! Looking forward to a logo of a panda in a mask 😁

This morning I'm doing a team kickoff with my new team, very exciting stuff!

Of the few cat words I understand, surprisingly they all seem to be related to "no" or "stop that" 😅

In a scary turn of events, it's already October! But that means it's #Hacktoberfest, which is super exciting - reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham on Wednesday which will be Hacktoberfest themed - I hope to see you there for some Free and Open Source contributing! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/09/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-hacktoberfest-edition--dTrYgmFEBZff

Just watched #TheSocialDilemma - some really powerful stuff in there, helping to emphasise the real dangers of #SocialMedia and the money makers fighting to maximise your attention. Strongly recommend watching!

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow! I hope to see you there at 1730 for some website stuff - it'll be the last non-#Hacktoberfest themed one until November! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/09/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-4BIUc3geqfW0

It's official! We're having a #Hacktoberfest takeover for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham in late September and October! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/09/08/hwc-hacktoberfest/

Oh damn I didn't realise #vimconf was a thing! Hopefully I can catch up on the conf if the videos are recorded?

Forgot to mention I'm attending #SpringOne over the next couple of days - really looking forward to some great talks both now, and when I get a chance to catch up on those I miss!

New blog post: Why I Actively Discourage Online Tooling like jwt.io and Online JSON Validators https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/09/01/against-online-tooling/

Looking forward to seeing folks tonight at 1730 for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/08/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-yPtwtlpRRU0p

Just blogged: My first experience (last year) with a #SquadHealthcheck as a way to know how your team is doing, and tracking it over time https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/08/18/squad-healthchecks/

Very excited to be hosting Lorna Jane at this week's PHPMiNDS talking all about OpenAPI - hope you can join us to understand some more about how you can better document your APIs! More details are on the PHPMiNDS website, phpminds.org

Aside from the bustle of the audience, having @MrAndrew presenting slides with wacky arm movements really does make it feel like it's #TechNott again ☺

Very excited for #TechNott lightning talks tonight - always great to have some of the audience sharing all sorts of talks!

Hey @StarbucksUK do you do any cross-browser testing on your website? I spent 10 minutes waiting for Firefox on mobile to load your menu, then going onto Chrome instantly worked - this is not cool! There's more in the world than Google Chrome, and a company your size should be able to do their due diligence and build sites that don't just break based on another browser in use

Pretty cool to say I'm developer #194,327 on #Netlify - a million devs is a huge milestone, congrats, and thanks for the great platform!

You can find out where you joined at https://million-devs.netlify.com/

It turns out that I'm the sort of psychopath who grates cheese long side first 🙀

#Morph has just had a coughing fit, so of course I'm now Googling "can cats get #coronavirus" 😬😿

Has anyone's #Alexa recently stopped playing #Spotify? Ours has been infuriatingly crap recently and are now a useless waste of money that won't do their one job, so we're instead playing music through our phones 🤷🏽‍♂️

Very excited for the #IndieWebCamp Micropub pop-up session today - come join us to talk about the open standard for CRUD functionality on web tooling https://events.indieweb.org/2020/07/micropub-pop-up-session-kGMIMOXFUdBn

Pretty great #ApexLegends quest / hunts. Really enjoyed a season of solo play and story, and looking forward to what's been confirmed for next season!

Well, we were promised that #TechNott tonight would be an ambitious event. I'm super excited for the pink jacket to appear on screen!

"Don't worry, it gets worse" - why does anyone do anything with technology nowadays? Burn it all and get it out of your houses. http://skspr.mobi is scaring us all tonight at #TechNott

Best thing about Bluetooth headphones and #RemoteWork? Being able to run for a quick wee mid-meeting, and no one knows

I'm super excited to announce that I've been promoted to Software Development Engineer 3, and next quarter I'll be leading a new team as a Tech Lead (on the Individual Contributor track) 🎉🙌 https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/07/09/new-job-title-who-dis/

How has no one been talking about this #Hamilton thing?? It's pretty good 😝

Some really kick-ass talks from some really kick-ass people at tonight's #DevopsNotts - thank you all for sharing your stories and thoughts 💖
