Kind notes

"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/

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow! I hope to see you there at 1730 for some website stuff! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/07/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-xZ25kFM3qUYx

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 💖

Great talk from Jessica White this morning at #NottsTechfast about Speaking in a Remote World - some interesting ways to make your speaking more effective remotely!

#Morph racing through the house and into the back garden at the sound of birds chirping is especially concerning 😬

Was in a really good position to get an early night - kitchen was sorted, I'd been for a walk, and just as I was heading up, I thought I'd check a couple of things on my desktop. 3 blog posts later 😴

Has anyone used #GoogleCloud Functions with a custom domain name? I've got a project I'd like to be hosted on my domain (for ease of memory) but can't see if there's any way aside from hooking in Firebase #GCP

Signed up for #DisneyPlus, tried to use the app to log in, nothing popped up to say how to use it, ended up having to type out a 32 character password on the TV 😬

Just got an AWS EC2 that had an IP address ending .0 - I didn't realise that was possible?

I've just ordered a #HermanMiller Aeron 🙀 I'm super excited to have a comfy chair, big thanks to the lovely friends in the #TechNott community for recommendations

Welp, another Scaleway random outage. Guess this weekend I actually migrate to Hetzner

For those that haven't seen, #Netlify now supports branch deployments via the CLI (and the API)! https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/06/03/netlify-cli-branch/

Note to self: create a /feeds page. I'm liking this idea https://marcus.io/blog/making-rss-more-visible-again-with-slash-feeds

Rewatching #HarleyQuinn tonight, very excited!

Hey @BarclaysUK do you do much cross-browser testing? I've just had 3DS fail multiple times when using Firefox, but then succeed on Chrome - pretty frustrating tbh.

Made worse as @eve_sleep then doesn't handle the error gracefully

Just pushed a fix for #MeetupMf2 that meant the cache was not expiring, therefore new events wouldn't show up for you - sorry! The fix itself is now documented at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/05/29/evict-spring-cache-schedule/

Reminder that tomorrow is #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - hope to see you there! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/05/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-Rqs1Cfcxii4D

The only good thing about our country being in shambles over the poor leadership around #coronavirus is the top quality banter on Twitter after the fact

Anyone using #RestAssured who wants to play with Mutual TLS / Client Certificates? I've updated https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/14/mutual-tls-auth-rest-assured/ so that it now actually works 👍

Heh, day 69 of quarantine

#ApexLegends crashed and when it rejoined I didn't get any other XP cause I had "0 kills/damage" 😥 did at least get some for the duration, I guess. Shame as I was in the final 2 squads!

Second random outage on my Scaleway server that hosts my analytics server - I guess, after putting it off for about 2 and a half years, I need to finally bite the bullet and move to Hetzner

Waking up to a blaring house alarm, being rudely awakened by the lights at full brightness, and then more house alarms? Yay for a power cut

#Java friends testing using #RestAssured, you may enjoy my article https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/05/18/rest-assured-curl/ which can help you convert its logs to curl requests, for cases you need to do some manual testing, too

Trying to write three blog posts simultaneously isn't helpful. Got to focus on Week Notes, then my post-deploy changes, then one that I'm pretty happy about for Rest Assured!

Just won a game of #ApexLegends despite incredible lag on the servers - #HugOps to the folks no doubt working on remediating the issue!

Why was there just an ice cream van blaring its siren call down our road? Surely that's a great way to give #coronavirus to folks

We're learning about a large migration Richard Paul did for thousands of domains to Let's Encrypt certs, fronted by HAProxy at tonight's #PHPMiNDS - quite a feat!

One of the reasons I love having #Matomo analytics on my site? So I can find out which companies are using my blog posts, from all the internal URLs showing as referrers 👀

It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight! Looking forward to seeing folks there for the new structure of the event https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/05/10/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-structure/

Of course the #ApexLegends update drops just as I'm available to play! I guess I'm waiting for the download now

Very much enjoying @MrAndrew kicking off the opening slides at #TechNott with a microphone and his background photo at Antenna - it's just like we're back in person, again!

How is it already Sunday evening? 😳

"I want to be a page in somebody else's survival guide" is such a lovely subtitle for Rachel Morgan-Trimmer's talk at #WiTNotts about #MentalIllness

I'm so jealous of everyone who's able to attend Rachel Morgan-Trimmer's talk today at #WiTNotts and experience it for the first time. It's such a raw, eye opening, and hilarious talk, thank you so much for sharing so much with us 🧡

Having a muffin and a tea before #WiTNotts, while working on my site, it's just like an in-person event!

I'd seriously forgotten how weird #ParadisePd is 😅

Thanks for another great virtual #EscapeRoom @short_louise! Was a great bowling-themed adventure with Anna Dodson, Carol Gilabert, and @balhayre and Simon!

Great point from David McKay at #DevOpsNotts - not having SSH access to a Production system is hugely important for investing in logging/traceability. That was something I didn't really "get" until I was having to support things and realising I couldn't diagnose it as easily (although the key reason for us not having access is to ensure we can't be near customer production data)

Was wondering why the calendar entry for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham wasn't in my calendar - it's cause I'd got the date wrong on the event (doh!) - it's updated now and I hope to see you there tomorrow https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-q0LsZr0uDBS7

So Anna Dodson and I have reshuffled our office so we can work better full-time remote with the #coronavirus sitatuon - I've shared the new layout and some photos at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/04/26/new-office-setup/

Does anyone know the best way to export all your tweets from #Twitter? The data export I requested from them only has tweets until 2018 but my account is a few years older than that

Best part of getting a new monitor is going through and getting a tonne of new wallpapers!

Folks who follow my blog's #Microformats feed will now see the context (as an h-cite) that is visible on my site, allowing you to have some context for at least interactions with Twitter, but hopefully other stuff in the future!

Thanks for a really fun virtual #EscapeRoom tonight, @short_louise - was really fun playing with Anna Dodson and @balhayre this evening!

It's #TechNott time - looking forward to a great talk from @efinlay24 and learning some top tips to improve remote working!
