It was basically a copy/paste with a few tweaks. I am super happy with how quickly it went.
Get people productive, squeeze everything you can out of them, and let them die as quickly as possible. That’s capitalism.
Not a fan.
Today I learned while reading https://blog.janetacarr.com/software-design-patterns-in-clojure/ that you can name your lambdas in Clojure! 🤯
I will be doing this from now on!
Finally got the new client to be able to connect and get a list of streams from the server! That was a LOT. Especially with a custom transport protocol.
Forgot to log yesterday’s exercise! Grr. Bitten by not implementing back-dating.
This interview with Senator Booker after his historic speech brought me to tears. I am moved even more to keep doing the work I’ve been doing. It’s not just about building a social network. It’s about building safe spaces for people to help each other out however they are able.

more inside...Today I learned, with a bunch of digging, how to make clojure-lsp work on my computer. Since I have clojure installed in a "weird" place for linux, zed couldn't find it. And the editor's documentation doesn't talk about how to fix that anywhere. Figured I'd document my findings here for posterity.
Weighed in a day early. Slight gain in overall weight, loss in body fat, and gain in muscle mass. I accept. ☺️
Haven’t posted about family life since last year — good news tho! We have solar and battery backup. It has been marvelous. We haven’t been without power since then, even if there have been a few grid outages. Feeling so much better!
Found a bug in my old webmention code (this post wasn't working!) for this blog and fixed because I don't know why -- it's not like this blog is gonna live much longer. As I was about to deploy the app I noticed it's been running nonstop for 5 months. Not bad!
I feel like I've pretty much gotten to a place where I can rebuild this blog using streamful. It will be an interesting challenge! The only issue I have right now is that my only mac computer is super slow. Also, ios development is hard for me right now. But I shall do my best!

I just love AOC! Here’s a speech about how universal health care and fair wages are common sense, not “radical.” bluesky link
A long ramble about why I’m likely going to drop the idea of federation from Streamful altogether.

This site was part of a larger effort to bring more of my digital life "in-house" so to speak. And of course I'm already working on a replacement. Follow along at streamful
