Scripting News: Monday, August 7, 2023

Monday, August 7, 2023
At first when I got to the hotel in Manhattan today I was so wiped out and kind of sad. I missed my mountain home. I took a nap and decided to make the best of it. I packed my biking helmet, put on biking shorts, went downstairs, got a Citibike, and rode it to Washington Square Park, where I took in the scene. I knew it would cheer me up. The people-watching there is fantastic. And now that weed is legal in NY, everyone was toking, not that this was vastly different from before, WSP has long been a hippie haven. I got another Citibike and rode uptown to one of my favorite pizza places, on Eighth Ave between 13th and 14th. Put the two slices of cheese pizza in my backpack, got another Citibike and rode back to the hotel, where I sat down with my laptop and am now updating my blog. I feel like I'm back in the saddle. I have a laptop that works as my mobile desktop. I could cover a convention now. Or write about some new technology (see below) or just take in a vision of Jersey City across the Hudson. I could definitely see living here again. What a transition in a few hours. Bike riding in Manhattan is something I didn't realize how much I missed. #
Miriam now knows her name, and there's a picture of her on miriam.scripting.com. I look forward to the day when DALL-E does animated images, I expect someday to have an actual conversation with Ms Miriam.#

🔥 (#155) A Vue podcast?

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 ...

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...
