So I’ve got a talk day after tomorrow loosely based on the promise of a handful of whimsical tweets.

Better make some slides.

Better figure out what I’m talking about.

Thirteen years on Steam and I’m up to two reviews.

I didn’t have much to say. Still don’t really, but getting a bit more willing to say it out loud.

Mojolicious + htmx is almost disturbingly easy. Well, the core bits are. Set up your hx-get and hx-target attributes in the link, and in the Mojo response just don’t set a layout for the template.

Very proof-of-concept, but still. Neat.

Literally the only time this contractor shows up on time to work on the house is the time we could’ve handled him being an hour late.

Twenty minutes, even.

Hell, we could’ve made do with two minutes.

We got our second jab done.

Having a meeting with someone responsible for managing resources and it suddenly occurs to me that I wish we used the word “steward” more often in tech because that’s what he is.

Something I’d like to see become more widespread: progress bars on your talk slides.

I’m enjoying the topic, but we’re enough over that I just sighed such a sigh that Teams felt the need to tell me I’m muted.

Bought “GET REKT FAKED0G” from @c0debabe’s Redbubble store. A welcome addition to the laptop.

Accidentally started Chrome and now my 2015 MBP sounds it’s trying to run up a hill.

No matter how many times I throw out my Perl disclaimer or lick the floor, people at work are starting to describe me as a Python developer.

Having a little bit of fun with Rich and Typer.

Trying to get some consistency in my content metadata. The validator itself is a work in progress, but off to a nifty start.

Every single time I am ready to drop Hugo (got as far as a Statamic test deploy last night) they add something I’ve been wanting bad.

Today’s 0.83 release adds WebP support for image processing.

[deep sigh]

We’ll see.

Had a clumsy model name in this app that I finally got to refactor out to something more communicative. Oh the cognitive relief!

I have two different recordings of Holst “The Planets” and that’s fine.

My brain won’t today, and I’m not going to force it to try. Just do what stuff I can, and pull over if the engine starts smoking.

hackers.town: 2021-04-30 Fri 16:54

Nearly there. Course, that means my brain’s going “how’s Statamic any better than Hugo besides no more [EXPLETIVE DELETED] go templates this is hard I wanna stop”

Watching a git talk and it includes the speaker getting lost and looking up syntax in the manual so you know it’s legit.
