Name change quest continues: I need a new handle name on Mastodon and decided it's time to migrate away from phpc.social.

My career isn't tied to one language these days, and even if it was the direction PHP's been heading in recent years is not for me. A huge thanks to @phpc, @ramsey, and anyone else who keeps this place going. It was a fine place to get my fedi feet under me.

Changeover will happen sometime this week -- as soon as I figure out how this mythic account moving actually works.

If you're looking for a good way to find out every place you've hard coded your 1997-style personal first.name.last.name.com domain name may I recommend transing your gender?

Everything should be up and running at https://alanastorm.com/ and redirecting from the old domain name. Also, I'm not saying it's _all_ .htacess files but SOME .htaccess are incredibly transphobic.

Tired: ChatGPT -- mansplaining as service

Wired: ChaGPT -- tech bro astrology/divination

me, suddenly understanding why a job that boils down to "hey keep an eye on these daemon processes if they do weird stuff tell the right people" gets filed under the R&D budget
