Had to wake up a 3:30 AM this morning to turn something on for work. That’s… like… an HOUR before I’m usually awake. 😛

(I am a bit tired though).

Me, yesterday:

I will be cross-posing links to these blogs here. I try to post here at least once a day, and I think it’s fair game for these posts to be counted as such.

I was planning to use Echo Feed by Robb to do this, and was hoping that it wasn’t too much longer before public release. Well, I had to way, what? 18 hours? Because it just went live, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. Awesome work, Robb.

Making a few changes on this blog. I’ve realise that I’d prefer to write more about my day here, rather than anything around coding or projects. I do want to write about them, but they seem to clash with the day-to-day posts here.

So I’m offloading those to two separate blogs: Coding Bits which is about the trials and tribulations of writing software, and Workpad, which is about the projects I’m working on. Don’t expect professional grade writing on either one. I’m not trying to get newsletter subscriptions or anything. They’re more a place to write thoughts, ideas, or just to blow off steam. Both are hosted on Scribbles, which I feel is the perfect place for such posts: a really low pressure environment that promotes just writing the thing.

Anyway, we’ll see how it goes.

Buffalo, the Go framework that’s a bit like Rails, has been archived on GitHub. I’m wondering if it’s been retired. I’ve seen no announcement but I’m starting to suspect that it has.

A real shame. It was pretty good and the dev was so passionate behind it. Maybe running it was just too much.

Walked a different way to work today. The detour was only a couple of blocks but it was actually quite stimulating seeing an area of the the city I hardly know. Refreshing.

Go to prod early because you never know what surprises you’ll encounter when you deploy (cough Cloud Formation cough).

Had a crummy afternoon at work today. Had to make some fixes that were quite urgent, and forgot to verify something. Good new is that when I verified it this evening, it worked as expected: no nasty surprises or bugs. So relieved! 😌

Everything’s coming up Leon. 🙌

Dealing with money is annoying. Dealing with money using Go’s big.Rat type? Really annoying.😮‍💨

Apparently the correct answers are real words.

Oof, glad I bought an unbrella. Even if it’s a $10 piece of junk with half the stretchers broken. At least half of me will be dry after the walk home. ☔️
