Scripting News: Friday, August 11, 2023

Friday, August 11, 2023
On TV news they say "there are obvious problems with putting Trump in jail," (for violating the conditions of his bail) but they never say what the obvious problems are, and I honestly don't believe there are any. The problem is somehow related to his persistent Secret Service protection, and I guess they figure his detail doesn't want to go to jail with him. Okay so get some new agents, possibly recruited from existing prison guards. They can keep him safe, no doubt about that -- if anything it would be easier to do so in prison. Give him his own prison in a remote wilderness, perhaps in a nice blue state.#
I have an extensive collection of Trump imagery from the years he was in office, but I haven't used any of them since he left office. I'd rather never write about Trump again, but he's back in the news so I guess it has become unavoidable. So I'm using the orange splat image in place of any likeness of Trump himself. I see him as a human scourge. Punishment for us for lacking honor or integrity, humanity. There will of course be a final post about Trump, someday, but sadly we are not there yet. #
I hung out with some people this week who read my blog, so I heard about things they liked or found amusing. This bit got some laughs. "It was a bit breathtaking. A few minutes before I was a schmuck. Now I was an officer at Harvard." I write these things mostly to entertain myself, but if other people like them that's a super bonus for me. #

How's it going? I was planning to release the update for Reusable Components yesterday, but things haven't gone as planned. Instead, I will be launching it next week. I need a just a bit more time to make sure that the quality is up to my standards. As I've been updating the course and re-writing all the content and step-by-step refactorings, I've also been able to simplify a few things. It's just like refactoring a piece of code, and it's one of the greatest feelings. I also looked at how much content is in there, and it looks like it will be similar to the Clean Components Toolkit. Lots of great content on how to write highly reusable components, simplified and updated — I can't wait to release the update next week! Oh, and one more thing: I'm doing a podcast with Alex Lichter ! It's called Deja Vue and we'll be releasing the first ...

Scripting News: Monday, November 20, 2023

Monday, November 20, 2023 I'd pay $10K up front # Matt Mullenweg : "Sales of the 100-year plan so far: 0. Hundreds of people filled out the form, though. I think we really messed something up in the follow-up, including not making it self-serve to start. Will review and try again. It's an important promise to us." # I'm very much a customer for this service. It would be worth $10K for to buy 100 years of persistence for my web writing. A simple easy to understand service that helps get the process started. # I transfer scripting.com to Automattic as registrar. # I upload the contents from S3 to Automattic server. Static files, HTML, feeds, images, code. # Automattic provides an API to keep the files updated and so I can add to them as long as I'm still writing. # The files are publicly accessible over HTTP. # Automattic agrees to renew the domain for 100 years, and manage access to the files, with reasona...
