  • I solved Semantle #41 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.94. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 69.32. semantle.novalis.org

  • Put on a spare tire for the first time.

    The front left side of a white Toyota Prius is shown on a jack with its tire removed. The tire is down on the next parking spot over, showing damage. Various tools are next to the tire on the ground.

  • I just used Hey to block someone from sending me an unsolicited Ruby on Rails job posting.

    So, thanks to Basecamp for building: a technology that makes me attractive to recruiters; and a technology I can use to ignore them.

  • I had fun today helping out the Archive Team with their quick-turnaround project to archive all of Parler. Good to get everything stored off somewhere for future historical analysis before it is shut off for good at midnight. Good riddance.

  • Checking out nb, a pretty cool tool for keeping notes on the command line and syncing them between machines.

  • @Chris Aldrich Sort of like a hyper-modern version of purple hyperlinks. It would also be fun to be able to see public likes and mentions from people I follow.

  • I’ve just updated a couple of my old personal project websites.

    • Twitter Sucks! - Upgraded all Ruby gems and got it working again. Updated CSS and picked newer fonts from Google Fonts.
    • Flittr = Flickr + Twitter - Upgraded three major versions of Rails and got it (almost) working again. Switched from the fleakr gem to the flickr gem. Right now, every tweet falls back to a lolcats image because the Yahoo! Term Extraction API no longer exists.

    Both applications are currently running on Heroku’s free tier. Once I get them modernized enough I may move them to the “Hobby” tier. I also upgraded both from their ancient Cedar-10 stack.

  • I’m catching up on MacStories’s “iPad at 10” coverage from last month.

    I keep coming across mentions of the original argument that the iPad is “just a bigger iPhone”. I always find that argument to be so strange, because the iPhone was a blockbuster category-defining device. I have never thought of the fact that an iPad is similar to a large iPhone as negative in any way. I also appreciate viewpoints like this one focused on accessibility that make it obvious that being like a bigger iPhone is an incredible advantage.

    It’s funny how aggressively people in the tech media will dismiss something just because it’s not completely novel.

    Anyway, 10 years later, I have finally gotten to the point where I don’t own a laptop and use an iPad for all my mobile computing tasks.

  • Been having fun the last couple days working on some Rails jobs that download multi-gigabyte gzipped tarballs via SFTP.

    It’s been a fun challenge to avoid using a lot of RAM and disk space so that the jobs can easily run on our Heroku workers.

  • Today at IndieWebCamp 2020 Austin I’m figuring out what my personal site nertzy.com has on it and running it through indiewebify.me to get some basics like h-card set up. After that, I’ll be looking into social reader apps. 🤓

  • It’s been a fun afternoon of discussions at IndieWebCamp 2020 Austin today.

    I just led a breakout discussion about what we can do to reclaim our personal data from social media silos #reclaimyourweb

  • Everyone is presenting their personal websites. I just hopped up and presented nertzy.com and how I have copies of my older blogs at http://old.nertzy.com and http://old.nertzy.com/old/ and how I want to merge that old content into my site someday.
