Nicholas Bate has a plan if you are serious.
Three generations of Lang are out on the course today at Elderslie Golf Club. The boys had a great time playing with their Papa.
The last splash of colour in the garden before winter sets in.
What is the sign of a good developer’s blog? An RSS feed, of course! Good to see one on the 37signals development blog. Just two articles in, and I’m already hooked.
I’m not convinced that the departure of Twitter users to Mastodon will be permanent. We’ve been here before. I can’t remember the reason why. After a few weeks, though, everyone flocked back to Twitter. Most people will want to remain on Twitter as it’s easier.
Not quite fully on DigitalOcean
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been migrating several Rails applications to Hatchbox. I’ve still got a couple of applications to go. Still, one last thing I wanted to do was migrate my blog over to DigitalOcean’s Apps platform.
I’ve been using Render to host my blog for the last few months. While it’s free, and I have been okay with using it, I’ve wanted to minimize my digital footprint of the services I use. Over the weekend, I spent almost eight hours trying to get my blog to compile and run on DigitalOcean.
Sadly, my blog wouldn’t compile due to the Tailwind integration I am using. An error with the Jekyll PostCSS gem kept breaking the building of the website. I’m still digging into the actual issue, but it is getting parked until I have more time to look into it.
I started another minilog yesterday.
That’s 12 notebooks mostly completed over the last year. I say mostly completed, as there’s a couple of notebooks in there that I didn’t finish. It’s been a good daily exercise over the last year and I’m going to continue it through to next year. Also, it gives me something to do with my Field Notes subscription!
I’ll also start sharing a few pages from them again as they are completed.
After the cancellation of Setapp, I’m reviewing several other subscriptions that could be for the chop. There’s no average monthly figure that I’m aiming for as a budget for these subscriptions, but reducing them over the next few weeks is the plan.
I cancelled my Setapp subscription today. I’m only using a handful of apps from this, and I know it would be cheaper for me to use alternatives.
Spent most of the afternoon finalising some changes for my Rails app for posting to my Jekyll blog. It needs a few more tweaks before I open source the application, but it now allows me to log in on multiple devices, which means you might see more of my posts soon.
