"Blogging is more (to me) than the amount of views per month.. it can be whatever you want it to be" - great point by Pauline Narvas about how when blogging you shouldn't try to fit the niche - it's something I try to practice too by writing for myself under "blogumentation" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ #WiTNotts
Kind notes
Just pushed a fix for meetup-mf2.jvt.me as it's not handling the Online events very well - it should now respond a bit better
Been a great kickoff from Anna Dodson and @LittleHelli to start #WiTNotts and we're about to have to Pauline Narvas's talk Thoughts to Pixels: the impact of blogging
Hey Terence Eden https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector may be of interest to you in relation to https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/03/zooms-forced-app-is-irresponsible/ (if you've not already seen it) as a way to auto-redirect to the browser client, not the native client
Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - we're online only on Zoom, and I'll share the link in the Tech Nottingham Slack for Nottingham folks https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-UpVd9JZeVzx6
Putting my washing away while pair programming with a colleague - this is peak working from home!
Currently enjoying an opt-in #mindfulness session with the rest of the company - some good tips to help us cope better with everything going on right now, and nice to have continued investment in myself and my colleagues #LifeAtCapitalOne
Only a few episodes into #DesignatedSurvivor, but Anna Dodson and I are really enjoying it!
Hey https://twitter.com/CraigBurgess/ I've just noticed that https://getdoingthings.com/homebrew-website-club-barnsley-1/ is returning 404s, did you mean to delete it?
Great thing about my new Bluetooth headphones? I can pace while attending meetings, because I don't exactly get as much exercise as pre-#coronavirus home working! At least when my video is off, that is
I can now produce platform-aware @-mentions of folks on my blog! For instance Anna Dodson has her URL linked on my site, but her Twitter account when this post appears on Twitter. Read more at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/03/22/at-mention-people/
The real victim of #coronavirus is that McDonald's Monopoly is being postponed π’
Although #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham is not at Ludorati (as it's online this time) I've still got myself a tea and a snack!
#HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham is on Zoom tonight, courtesy of the wonderful #IndieWeb organisers - you can find all the events details on https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-anniversary-edition--Rcujt5SykHv1
Anyone in the #Hugo community able to give me a hand with https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/date-based-pagination-one-list-page-per-day/23870/3 ? I'm trying to get pagination working so I have one page per day (with all the posts per day) but I can't seem to get the right incantation, if even possible?
It is with regret (but pragmatism!) that I announce that the #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham anniversary meal on Wednesday (https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-anniversary-edition--Rcujt5SykHv1) is postponed.
We'll instead meet on https://technottingham.com/slack - and will plan to do so for the forseable future.
Doh - just hit the 2GB RAM limit on the VPS that hosts www-api.jvt.me and a few other services I host. Thankfully it's incredibly easy to rescale the instance on @hetzner_online and within a couple of minutes I'm back up and running with 4GB!
Been a great day at #IndieWebCamp London - thanks for some great conversations. Got several things I may work on at tomorrow's hack day, so will have to see what I end up doing
We had a good session earlier talking about how to set up #Micropub with static websites at #IndieWebCamp London https://etherpad.indieweb.org/staticmicropub

Sending content to your personal website using #Micropub via #Emacs? If I'm honest, I'm surprised it's only just been done! Cool stuff https://doubleloop.net
I really like @BarryF's website https://barryfrost.com/ - may look to take some inspiration from you π
It's about time to demo my personal website at #IndieWebCamp London - I've got some pre-written notes about what I want to talk about on https://etherpad.indieweb.org/IWC_London_Site_demos although some of you who know me will know I can talk for ages about my site and the #IndieWeb!
Has Green Giant changed their π½ recipe? Cause it does not taste as lovely and sweet any more π’
Very excited for #IndieWebCamp London tomorrow - it may not be in person due to #coronavirus but the IndieWebCamp events are built to be remote friendly - and regardless of where we are it'll be a great time. We are a distributed bunch, after all
Working from home: day 1/?
When we're all self isolating from the #coronavirus, I'm sure gonna miss nacho day at work π’
Why is the Old El Paso Smoky BBQ mix just so good??
Well that was a day π
Hand sanitiser being brought down the food queue is a great idea at #TechNott to prevent #coronavirus
Is anyone at #TechNott interested in #PHP? You're in luck, because Thursday is #PHPMiNDS and we've got the awesome @akrabat speaking about Slim 4: PHP's Microwebframework
More details on the website https://phpminds.org/ and the Meetup https://www.meetup.com/PHPMiNDS-in-Nottingham/events/268999773/
Very excited for the talks tonight at #TechNott - @NickyWrightson's talk at #DevOpsDays London was really insightful for how to run on-call right, and I've heard great things about the talk from @adactio and @rem - hope to see y'all there!
I thoroughly agree with @short_louise's comment at #WiTNotts about how the Ignite talks at #DevOpsDays is both incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating - 5 minutes of autoincrementing slides is quite a challenge!
Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - hope to see you there! https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-FWdZAqhKZBnq
Not having my headphones at work yesterday really ruined my productivity - it's quite interesting how much I rely on them, and music, to help me focus
It may not be ready by the #IndieWeb newsletter tomorrow, but I'm hoping my web-based Micropub media endpoint upload client will be live this weekend - exactly what would fit for https://jlelse.blog/micro/2020/01/2020-01-01-frviz/
Just bought my #DevOpsDays London ticket! There are still Β£99 super early bird tickets at https://devopsdays.org/events/2020-london/welcome/
It's an awesome conference, which I'd thoroughly recommend - you can read about my time at https://www.jvt.me/tags/devopsdays/
