  • My Black Friday gift to myself is to unsubscribe from all the newsletters that have been in hiding until now.

  • I have conflicted feelings about deleting my Twitter/X account. On one hand, I don’t agree with the cult of personality leadership and lack of/removal of mechanisms to make it a safe platform. On the other, some of the tweets were very personal, became quite significant, and act as a time capsule of fond memories to a specific period in my life.

  • It’s taken some fettling, but finally I have a publishing workflow I’m happy with. Mastodon posts, or toots (to use the correct nomenclature), are published on scottmallinson.com alongside standard blog articles.

    Next step is to get Bluesky in the mix…

  • Saturday

  • Saw GladIIator last night. Have thoughts. More about the animals than anything.

  • That feeling you get when your favourite restaurant removes your favourite dish from the menu.

  • Well, we did it. We migrated all 112 plugins to the new framework version and addressed the breaking changes and inter-dependencies in the process. Dare I say, we may have even improved some of the code. Though it may be too ambitious to say at this time until regression testing has completed.

    Some wins, some losses today. Managed to get a bunch of plugins migrated at work. Huzzah! Dishwasher broke. Boo!

    Dishwasher not broken! A couple of calls to customer services and we managed to fix it. Also, rounded out Friday with approximately 75% of plugins migrated.
