This is very cool. I've been thinking about containerising my personal APIs for this site, and I guess this would remove a lot of the work! Looking forward to playing with this once it's released.
Good news: after a week on holiday my body is now waking up consistently at a reasonable time.
Bad news: that time is 0830 when I'm meant to have already left the house for work
Not sure how I'm going to cope next week without a litre of sangria and a steak a day π
What are folks using for free/low cost notifications for personal projects? I know https://indigenous.realize.be uses https://pushy.me and until now I've used https://pushbullet.com, but given https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/yelaf/ I may need to replace it with something more substantial
I used to write a lot of shell scripts before realising that what I was trying to do was treat shell scripting as a "full" scripting language (I won't define here what I mean by "full").
Its not - reach for a higher level scripting language like Ruby or Python when things are getting more complicated, and allow shell scripts to glue things together, or be for quick tasks maybe a few lines long.
When you do write them, this advice is great but it's definitely worth gaining understanding of when you should and shouldn't use them.
I will be attending
I've just announced #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham on February 5th https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-8IgcYeAQhIKX - just turn up, or RSVP via https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/08/21/rsvp-from-your-website/
There are also lots of #HomebrewWebsiteClub events across the world where you can come and build, or enhance, your personal website with something #IndieWeb related - we've got one in Nottingham! https://events.indieweb.org/tag/hwc
For anyone at #NaConf looking to learn more about owning your data and the #IndieWeb, I recently did a talk about it, with a transcript available at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ which will hopefully shed more light!
This is a great resource I've used in the past for learning how best to approach automation testing with a website.
I will not be attending
As mentioned in https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2019/12/9pwds/ I'm enjoying some sun in Tenerife!
A great read about why PHP is still a great choice in 2020, despite the bad press it gets from developers (who likely haven't touched it in years).
Feel like I definitely need a siesta after this Legendary Local #HardRockCafe burger πππ΄ - burger with pulled pork, caramelised banana and the usual burger goodies, with a side of sriracha mayo and seasoned fries

https://twitter.com/MrsEmma what do you think of this as a presentation / serving format for honey? Our hotel is doing it and I thought it was really cool

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham on Wednesday! https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/22/
I won't be attending as I'm in sunny-ish #tenerife, but hope you still meet!
Waking up after a good nap to the toasty #Tenerife sun with Good Life (https://youtu.be/jZhQOvvV45w) playing, quite a nice afternoon!
This is very interesting to hear just days after a colleague gives a compelling introduction to Kotlin of which one key selling point (to me at least) is reducing boilerplate for Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) that are effectively data-only objects.
That being said, it's still a way off compared to Java 8, and could be nice to try out Kotlin a bit more.
I will not be attending
Both Jess and Moreton are great speakers, so this is no doubt going to be a great event full of lots of great tips for being better at public speaking!
