About to go get a haircut for the first time in months. 💇🏻‍♂️

Thanks for all the musique.

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. https://hey.com

Just started “The Mystic Maze” by Magic Puzzle Company

Today my wife surprised me with ube mochi donuts from Bom Bakeshop! 💕🍩💕 https://www.bombakeshop.com

@ttscoff Sendy looks really cool! I just signed up for your newsletter, but I have a Safari extension that prevents connecting to HTTP sites. (I added an exception so I could get through the signup). Could you set up HTTPS on your sendy subdomain? Maybe via LetsEncrypt? I appreciate everything you do, thanks!

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. https://archiveteam.org

It’s funny how conservatives want Big Government to step in to prevent natural market forces from sorting out how to run social media platforms.

I watched ♕ The Queen’s Gambit which is amazing. I rarely play chess, but have fond memories of playing with my father when I was young. The games depicted in the show felt very real. I’m not surprised that Garry Kasparov was involved. https://slate.com/culture/2020/11/queens-gambit-garry-kasparov-interview-netflix-chess-adviser.html

Thanks to all the DevOps teams at large media sites. It’s got to be a huge amount of work to handle all the frantic reloading. Here’s to a high cache hit ratio!

Patience.

Checking out nb, a pretty cool tool for keeping notes on the command line and syncing them between machines. https://xwmx.github.io/nb/
