Worst part of using public beta for macOS is everytime you update it maxs out the system resources for a day or two re-indexing your photo library.

this weekend’s lesson culminated with this https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/7752

Adding to my todo list – make a screencast showing how easy it is to edit a Markdown file in the browser in a GitHub repository. I know I’m an outlier but Google Docs never feels easy for me, despite so many people telling me it is.

Some day I’m going to learn how to take a screenshot with the mouse hover, but doesn’t look like its going to be today.

I know documentation is important to open source projects, but if everyone that’s ever complained about the lack of documentation submitted a PR to a project with more documentation…especially small team projects that are trying to address a need.

Nothing like a physical remodel to remind you what progress and accomplishing a task looks like. I probably spend way too much time comparing web development to physical plumbing/carpentry/electrical work than most though. Cooking too.

So the news is going around today that Zoom is doing bad shit & there’s a Medium post to explain it all @jonathan.leitschuh/zoom-zero-day-4-million-webcams-maybe-an-rce-just-get-them-to-visit-your-website-ac75c83f4ef5">https://medium.com/@jonathan.leitschuh/zoom-zero-day-4-million-webcams-maybe-an-rce-just-get-them-to-visit-your-website-ac75c83f4ef5 For what ever reason, Medium isn’t displaying the embedded gist in Safari so here’s the direct link for the tl;dr just help me delete this crap https://gist.github.com/JLLeitschuh/e2550ddd8d6dfd94447b0b557891ba30#file-permanent_zoom_and_ringcentral_server_remover-sh

My house was built in 1928, I was born in 1969. All of my remodel plans are “if it lasts 30 years, I’m good.” If either me or the house is still around in 30, should be a good time to update again.

I really enjoyed this online JekyllConf a few years ago and glad to see it back this year https://jekyllconf.com

I warn anyone thinking about installing Catalina public beta at this point to just not. I expected a world of hurt, but it’s really raw compared to previous first beta releases. I’m doing it so you don’t have to.

How do some macOS apps get away with starting at login and not showing up in user login items in system preferences? Looking at you Bartender.app

I’ve been patiently keeping Bumpr from @khoi running, trusting an update would come. Today I was rewarded. http://getbumpr.com

Pleasant surprise from this Anthurium I rescued earlier this year. Not sure the species.

I’ve considered myself a life long sports fan but I believe the year 2019 has created a permanent chasm between me and professional sports.

Whole post from @theorosendorf is pure 🔥but this line “You don’t get points for being faithful to an unfinished design” could be applied in a lot of what we do on the web. Typesetting is Back – https://type.fans/typesetting-is-back/

Am going to seriously consider this new Raspberry Pi 4 desktop kit for $120 https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-4-desktop-kit-us/?src=raspberrypi

Giving quitting smoking a real go for first time since quitting alcohol & what I really want is nicotine gum that tastes like ashtray to go with my morning coffee, not bloody mint.

So a laurel tree between our house and the neighbor decided tonight was the night to come down. Miraculously it fell the only way possible to not crush the corner of my house or destroy either vehicle. I’m chalking it up to having mowed her lawn Saturday.

I hadn’t seen this prior to some rabbit hole I went down. Nginx Unit https://unit.nginx.org Practically what it means is no more php-fpm to set up WordPress. But also means can run a node app & ruby app on same server if you want. Neat.

Question for bird watchers–do you track every time you see a species or just new ones? Something in between?

Who has a good tutorial for learning glob patterns? Feels like it’s something I’m using more & more.

Now this is a handy utility. Gulp task to inline/embed svg. Gets you the clean template code but performance of inline. Bonus is can now also run a svg optimizer https://github.com/haensl/gulp-embed-svg#readme

My first question is does this happen in California as well? My second question is how fast can we demand the end of this practice? “Millions of songbirds vacuumed to death every year during Mediterranean olive harvest”

Not pleased with @Namecheap crashed right now with a generic ASP Runtime error message.

Trying to make sense of the @HillsboroughMPO TIP plan and while I was warned trying to gather information to make an informed decision would be difficult, the lunacy of it all being a series of poorly linked PDF documents was beyond my imagination.

hey @Netlify is there an updated version of this Jekyll plugin for picture/srcset that uses the LFS image transforms? Started scoping out what I would want to build & this looks pretty close. https://github.com/netlify/jekyll-srcset

Thank you Firefox for surfacing an issue with some icons. Oddly only FF was rendering 2 of the svg icons, albeit without styling. Every other browser ignored them. Corrected the class on the <li> and all was well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
