It's that kind of afternoon ..... rage deleting Rubocop from one of my open source projects ... just because it got on my nerves and I can ....
I’m in Christchurch to watch some men clobber a leather sphere with a wooden stick (colloquially known as cricket), so I took the opportunity to hang out with @ioquatix and chat Ruby!

I'm migrating Scattergun to Paddle and got this email from them yesterday. I've replied with additional info in the hope that they'll approve the domain, but anyone know if this is normal?

Have you used Paddle before? How easy is it to get onboarded?

Yesterday some website pissed me off enough that I wanted to post a rant about the user hostility of the modern web to social media.

Then I literally couldn't be bothered.

I've somehow graduated past the "old man yells at cloud" phase into the "old man thinks about yelling at cloud, but literally can't be bothered" phase.

I spent the day finally breathing some life into https://scattergun.email.

The app has always worked, I use it regularly, but I've ignored developing it for a long time because I can't sell subscriptions in its current form, gotta migrate it to an MOR!

It's a Rails 7 app using an early version of Turbo full of my hacks for things like confirm alerts. And it uses Webpacker 6 beta.

Needless to say I procrastinated. A lot! But I've cleaned out most of the cruft now. Next up, billing!

I love that Haggis Ruby's website is built using Bridgetown :D

It'll be a great example to use in my talk to demonstrate static site generation as a concept!

What a lineup to be a part of .... bloody hell I'm staggered 😱

Thanks @sarcain!

Just seen this exists: https://www.aviato.co....

Reality really has just become satire now ...

Added an absolutely vital option to a Rails Survey 2024 question which the folks over at Planet Argon overlooked šŸ˜‚

Now isn't this flattering!

Phillip I. Thomas got my book printed as he prefers physical books .... it's pretty surreal to see it in the flesh on someone's bookshelf :D.
