Big feature release today over @trilbytv.co.uk Been a long project but our new calendar view is now available for your planning and organising your digital signage. This has been the big work we've been doing for months, starting a migration to a new frontend framework

I swear bsky seems to follow new people for me. Am I subscribed to something that does it for me? Was it one of those starter packs? How would I know. 196 following today for the record.

Kids asleep. Santa dropped off the stocking. Time for the Christmas Eve Baked Camembert, my new tradition

Just had to email my kids school cos their newsletters (maybe via their pupil management tool) is being sent via sendgrid (maybe via their SIM system) and no one did the domain validation so all the emails head right to spam. 😢

TIL about browser System colours while debugging some blue UI elements on iPad blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/css-sys...

Are there any good free tools for user product usage monitoring? Use clicks, Interactions etc.

Cmd T go to file Cmd R go to symbol Cmd shift P command palette Everything else is probably wrong

@ihnatko.bsky.social just caught an episode of MythBusters featuring a comment from an “ihnatko” about punching out of a paper bag and thought “could it be the famous Andy himself?”

Watching LLMs try to reason with and lint Stimulus controllers is funny. Lots of “sorry let’s try another way” before it ultimately fails.

I love Docker I hate Docker

Thank goodness for @marcoroth.dev’s Herb linter finding SO many broken bits of html. Just goes to show how much work the browser does to fix your janky code

Built a neat little solution for company signatures today. Until now we just had a bunch of html files I made by hand. If we change the format, every file changes. Gross. New system uses a json file with an html template and moustache placeholders and an array of data to fill in

Problem solving with ChatGPT is great. Found some rails/redis expires_at/expires_in misconfig that explains why redis keys never cleared (think we swapped redis gems at some point) Unrelated, considering adding some redis cleaning web admin tools.

I’m way behind on listening to Do By Friday and it took me a long time to realise that I kept getting 5 min previews of the after show from their Patreon feed. And it took me even longer (over a month) to realise my sub ended cos my card got spoofed and the payment details changed. In April.

“We ruined the country for 14 solid years and now look at it” Not even an original idea in their heads.

> superversive (adj.) — Said of a person: one who seeks to uplift, ennoble, and inspire others, affirming meaning, beauty, and virtue rather than undermining them. Let that be you. *unless you wanna dunk on someone you feel went against you

Virtue signalling works both ways. Depends on your perspectives.

If tech is turning on “wokeism” what is it returning to? What are the ideals that aligns to? Hopefully acceptance, acknowledgement, understanding, reasoning, discussion. If it’s just coded talk for being sexist and racism and offensive, I’m not sure I’m interested in that community.

Reached the point where I need to make a way to send a copy of every email in our systems for testing. I’m up to 41 in the list so far. And that’s skipping a bunch too.

Got a weird case with Prosopite suggesting I add an includes to a query, and when I do and run it, the query doesn't make 1bn db calls, but prosopite tells me to remove the query and when I do, it makes 1bn db calls.

This alone is worth the Apple Music subscription fee music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

OK now Bsky added bookmarks how do I find all the stuff I wish I’d bookmarked.

Are there any good oauth solutions for custom providers for @nuxt.com ? Found one that seemingly has no use and doesn’t seem like it does oauth properly. And another that only supports a given list of providers, not custom. Probably need to GPT my own.

Dear @bsky.app and other app makers, make sure your login works nicely with password managers and iOS’s 2FA code auto discovery plz

Lost most of the day to an unexplained bug with some azure functions. Ones that used to take 10-16s now timing out after 10 mins. No obvious reason. Had deployed updates 26hrs earlier. Something just stopped.

Doing a bit of cleanup on some old Vue components built a while ago with fetch, nice to strip out 40+ lines of code and drop in one useFetch to clean it all up. Sorting out bugs I’ve been meaning too for weeks

Nice to get some database maintenance stuff in place. Cut the size by~80% (not that I did any of this). All these cleanup tasks buried in documentation that cause db’s to swell in size.

Started my solo playthrough of Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. I forgot how annoying the water traversal is. Got to the boss room tho. Sounds like it’s just gonna be frustrating. #destiny2

Is there anyone who does free hobby DB’s still? Just wanna get a personal project syncing data.

Installing apps on the old iPad for the kid and hitting the nostalgia with some of these old defunct apps. Echofon? Fuzzle? Enigmo?

how do i see what starter packs i clicked into

Join the #TrilbyTV team at 10:00 (BST) on Wednesday 21st May for an inspiring panel discussion with #UnitedLearning, where we’ll reveal how to run a successful, in-depth review of #DigitalSignage across your #MultiAcademyTrust 👇 buff.ly/EKOGTJV #Webinar #EdTech #MAT

Wondering if it’s a good time to bust out some classic stickers #newrelic #ember #twitter

TIL what the slot on the back of a #pentax camera was for. My dad had (has) one from when ie as a kid. Staple of every family trip

There’s an irony to Birmingham Council sending out a leaflet with my council tax about new recycling bins (now theres 4/5) when our current bins haven’t been collected in 2 months?

Using ChatGPT to create macros for Google Sheets docs to save a bunch of manual work is exactly how AI can replace my job. Not my whole job, just bits of it so I can do other bits of it.

TIL Service workers on installed apps on iOS work a little differently when installed. Updates are processed behind the scenes and your sw registration may be in installing mode. stackoverflow.com/questions/55...

I might have to sort out that one job with unsafe args so I can get off Sidekiq 6!

Yo, what happened to Chris Pirillo?

Seeing the stream of comments on the BLM Plaza videos on X is just depressing. There’s a lot of folks posts I enjoy on there but everything outside the tech sphere is just full of negativity.

TIL PagerDuty is built on Rails. I guess not a shock given when they started up.

For #BritishScienceWeek add our beautifully designed Science & Humanities facts to your #DigitalSignage screens to support essential revision & reinforce learning 👇 buff.ly/w20BMYe #EdTech #SwitchOnYourSignage #Revision #Science #Humanities #Education #EduSky

I don’t drink a lot but I could go for an ice cold adult beverage tonight.

These were my views of the #planetaryalignment tonight. Always see Mars and Jupiter on a nice night, Orion too. I can see a surprising amount of stars for living in a bit city suburb.

Remember when this was all you wanted for Christmas?

Please @bsky.app bookmarks!

Here’s the valentines cup I got this morning, and also just happens to have a blurry picture of the #dotnet web project I maintain. It’s almost a passion project! Cshtml. Vanilla js. Vue. Stimulus. It’s got everything. The coffee was good btw

I'm really not sure what part of @vscode.dev is doing this auto-suggest but its entirely wrong
