Finally, I've automated the backup of my bi-monthly playlists to my blog. https://jacobtender.net/blog/automated-playlist-archiving/
Automated Playlist Archiving

A reasonably reliable solution that not only pulls my lists on an weekly basis, but updates my blog as well.

Let's christen this migration with a new blog post about a recent project of mine.

A static site for my local indie movie theater showtimes.

Tracking Local Showtimes

One afternoon, at the end of a long and productive work week, I channeled what remaining energy I had left into building my own static site to display showtimes.

Ghost has been yelling at me for a few years to update. And once or twice I spent a few hours trying.

Today I gave up on my old Digital Ocean droplet and started fresh.

The result should be the same old site. If you notice differently, let me know. https://jacobtender.net/

@tvaziri you are my feed’s resident VFX guy. I’ve been enjoying the threads on this tool for the last few days, but would love to hear thoughts from someone at a major studio.

How does this stack up to the keying tools at your disposal? https://youtu.be/3Ploi723hg4

I think a lot about the fact that I wrote games criticism for years, including a regular column on a web site, and none of that exists now. Vanished, maaaaybe findable only in obscure links buried and found under a peat bog in the wayback machine.
