Survey: Do you have an active personal blog? Can you provide a link? Not one of those things where you're trying to earn money from the site, just casual blogging about whatever. I'd especially like to see any long-running blogs.

Echoing my pinned post from twitter (https://twitter.com/roytang/status/905431727681572865): If anyone has any questions about Java, Python, Django, Sql, Javascript/node and general software dev stuff, especially for Pinoys, I'm willing to answer where I can. 15 yrs industry experience :)

Modern messaging apps like Messenger, Signal, Viber, WhatsApp etc dont have this. Discord does though, and so does Google Hangouts, since it is xmpp based I believe. Tweets are supposedly status updates. Hmm, maybe I should make a Twitter app where it just lists out all your contacts and shows the last status message from each one.

Just a fun thing to scroll through your contact list and see the random status messages people put. I suppose in the modern age no one really scrolls through their contact lists though.

I miss being able to set a custom status message in my messaging app. Company I worked at for the longest time used jabber/xmpp for internal messaging, which supported setting a status message. I often used it to put short messages, jokes or PSAs, and I like to think I was one of the first at the company to practice this and it spread later.

That last one didn't go so well.

*So here's to one more!*

I am testing something. You can ignore this if you like.

Or don't, I'm not your mom.

Stay at home and wash your hands!
