Well, this is my third one of these Random SQL Reviews, so I guess we can call it a series, though I’m still not sure how regular they’ll be. Today I want to take a look at something new over at DetroitHockey.Net. I decided recently that I wanted to have a little more automatically-generated social […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve played around with the Trello API but my “To-Do” board was annoying me recently and I found something new to automate. As I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve got a webhook listening to my “To-Do” board. I’ve also mentioned that this board consists of “Not Started,” “In Progress,” and “Done” columns. In […]
I mentioned last month that I’d been sharing “interesting” SQL queries from my own code with a coworker as a way to spread some SQL knowledge that I think sometimes gets overlooked. I’m still not sure that I want to do a whole series of blog posts around that but I have another query that […]
I’ve always thought that, in the realm of “full-stack” development, SQL has the tendency to be left out. I’m hardly a DBA but I love SQL, so this is disheartening to me. As an example, a few weeks ago I was on a call with a bunch of my team. We were looking at a bit […]
Last fall I wrote about how I had changed the design of the “matchup images” at DetroitHockey.Net. This marked a new design after one season with the previous one. It turns out, the “new” design didn’t even make it a season. As I previously noted, last fall’s redesign was intended to inject more color onto […]
I mentioned over the summer that I’d thrown together a quick PHP wrapper class for interacting with the Bluesky API / AT protocol. And by quick, I mean quick. I wrote it one night, did a blog post on it in the early morning the next day, and called it good. Different issues with it […]
Over at DetroitHockey.Net, how I format my posts is constantly evolving. One of those changes is around the concept of a “matchup image.” Way back in 2005 I rebuilt the site in such a way that big headline stories were expected to include some kind of featured image. I took photos at every game I […]
Much like last fall’s version of the Twitterpocalypse saw people running to Mastodon (and, seemingly, quickly running back to Twitter) as a replacement social media platform, this summer’s edition has seen a shift to Bluesky social. As I try to keep my various sites relevant, that means learning how to have them interact programmatically with […]
I’ve got a webhook for my main Trello board that’s so simple that I don’t really even think of it anymore. Today, though, I was working in the board my wife and I use for our household stuff and it annoyed me that it wasn’t there, so I set it up and figured it was […]
I’m trying to get myself to better recognize work I’ve completed, so I wrote a process to look at my Trello board and send a Slack message to myself. This is why and how.
