Day trip to London tomorrow, so 4+ hours on the train - hoping to finish my writeup of DevOpsDays London as it was a great conference and I'd love to share it with y'all!
I guess you could say I'm officially a Go developer now that I've made this tiny contribution to Hugo! https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/pull/6391
On Panic Attacks (3 mins read).
Remembering my first (and so far only) panic attack.
Had a very exciting end to the week.
I'm looking forward to sharing some news on Monday - keep an eye out for a blog post!
This is very good news - open standards like OpenID Connect (OIDC) make interoperability and integration easier, so hats off to Apple!
IndieWebCamp Amsterdam 2019 (19 mins read).

Recapping my time at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam, my first 'official' IndieWeb event, and meeting some of the big names in the community.
So very close to having my IWC Amsterdam blog post finished before WIT Notts - may have to see if I can get the last bit sorted before the talks start!
This is an interesting post, and is an important one to think about. We need to remember that although now we've got lax data privacy / retention laws, it's only going to get more user-focused and protect everyone more (which is universally a good thing!) but that we need to make sure we're architecting things in the right way to handle this.
Also, while you're thinking about this - have a read through some production logs and wonder "what could a bad actor do with these? Could they phish a customer? Could they steal their identity? Or are these so useless that we may as well not be logging anything at all?"
#Hacktoberfest PR #3 complete! https://github.com/phpminds/website/issues/136 - another productive #HomebrewWebsiteClub, and I even managed to support some other repos + get some stuff ready for maybe number 4
Completely agree with this, as a meetup organiser, and would go one step further to say if you're able to RSVP if you're not coming that'd help too, otherwise there's the assumption you'll turn up, especially if you're a regular!
I will not be attending
It's a shame as this sounds good, but it clashes with https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2019/10/16/ and as it's Hacktoberfest it's going to be pretty busy, methinks!

This would be cool, but don't think I'll be able to do two IndieWebCamps in a row, especially across the world!

Proposing a Microformats2 Markup for Licensing Information (7 mins read).

Some recommendations for how to mark up licensing information with Microformats, for making license information machine-discoverable and machine-readable.
#10MoreBlogPosts sounds like a great initiative - hope that it'll help get more folks into blogging.
I've found it's really helped me personally since starting to work on blogumentation (blogging as a form of self-documentation https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ )
It's been an awesome day at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam!
The afternoon was chatting about licenses and ownership, then looking at how to migrate folks from silos to IndieWeb with a long term strategy, then some discussions about events, RSVPs and calendars, and finally all things syndication.
Got some great discussions, and lots of interesting things to play with tomorrow at the hack day!
Interesting start to the morning at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam - we've spoken about accessibility of the Web and IndieWeb, and about how private posts and privacy should work
I'm really enjoying the intros at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam. Its nice to see the range of websites, the technology usages, and that some folks are posting while they're talking while others haven't touched their sites in years.
It's an exciting chance to get reinvigorated!

En route to my first IndieWebCamp (Amsterdam) after a great couple of days at DevOpsDays London.
I'm really looking forward to meeting some folks and talking about owning more of my little corner of the Web, and meeting the faces behind the websites I frequent!
Yesterday I met someone who, after my talk Overengineering Your Personal Website at last year's DevOpsDays London, started building their own website. That's awesome! ππΌ

Listen to this episode from Rizamblings on Spotify. In which, I actually read you an essay. Plus, I dabble on final year of uni, what it means to be a perfectionist and salads that resemble some animals. A mixed bowl; as always. Don't forget to #RizambleAlong on Twitter, find me -> @rizbizkits
This is such an awesome touch, I think this may be entering my wish list!

But I also have some tweaks to make sure I render a title for /mf2/ entries, as currently search doesn't help as it's just an empty string returned for things that match
