Note: The following code examples were accurate as of when this was written, specifically for v1 of my BlueskyApi class. Version-accurate code samples can be found in the README file for the class. Much like last fall’s version of the Twitterpocalypse saw people running to Mastodon (and, seemingly, quickly running back to Twitter) as a […]
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 […]
Notes on deploying from a GitHub repository to an EC2 instance via S3 to avoid having to save GitHub credentials at AWS.
Like seemingly many people, I recently started experimenting with hosting a Mastodon instance (mastodon.hockey, in this particular case). When I started, because I was considering it “just” an experiment, I decided to take the path of (nearly) least resistance and fired up a droplet over at DigitalOcean using their 1-Click app. That gave me a […]
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.
On how I learn, how I code, and not sharing well with others.
Notes on how the project integrating FantasyHockeySim.com with Invision Power Board went and how it was done.
Thoughts on my recently-completed refactor of Fantasy Hockey Sim, which started out with a small feature request and spiraled out of control.
I’ve been toying around with Slackbots a bit lately. Back in January I wrote about publishing a Git log to Slack via one. They’re dirt simple to implement and can be really useful. They can also be fun. I’ve added a couple bots in our office Slack just for posting randomness, running as cron jobs. […]
At my day job our codebase is kept in a handful of self-hosted Git repositories. We have a tool that runs nightly, emailing out a digest of all of the previous day’s commits. It’s kinda cool but I have the tendency to ignore it as a wall of text. I prefer more granular messaging and […]
