Saturday, August 31, 2024 Why does JD Vance have so many opinions about women? # It's worth reflecting that the press took its best shot at Kamala Harris, and it was a big puff of smoke, she just cruised right through it. # Thread: Blogs and the social web will merge . # Platform drivers for textcasting # A feature I've wanted to add to the textcasting server app is a plug-in architecture so you can add a new platform driver without having to reconfigure or even reboot the server. # There's a new folder at plugins/platforms . Each subfolder contains a driver for one platform. Initially there are four folder: bluesky, mastodon, twitter and wordpress. Each driver is a Node module that exports a single function that posts an item to the platform. # As an example here's the driver for WordPress. # The drivers are invoked through an HTTP POST call, where the body contains the parameters to the driver. The parameters for e

Friday, August 30, 2024 Feature I really need: A way to search all of my conversations with ChatGPT. It's the one feature I'm most missing, and the most surprising. I'm sure there's a huge amount of utility locked up in that. # Humor and putdowns in politics are great if you know how to do it and if the time is right. Trump was the only comedian on stage at the debates. And his act was fresh. The people who loved him loved that the other people hated him. It really was simple. Like a sports team or a favorite comic. Anyway, the Harris folk are good at putdowns and comedy, and the time is right. Trump's act is done, people are tired of the same old bullshit (which is exactly what Kamala said last night in the big interview). That's the cushion they're floating on. If they had called Trump weird in 2016 it wouldn't have worked, and probably not in 2020 for different reasons (he wasn't a joke at that moment, a huge number of Americans

Thursday, August 29, 2024 In elections we get to say who we are, ie who comes closest to who we are. It's all made of imagery. Bernie Sanders is someone you either love or don't. He reminds me of people in my own family, who I would never want to be president of anything. But this ad , the best ever imho, says wait a minute, please reconsider. A campaign is a series of messages from candidate to electorate: "Is this who we are?" The great ads tap our optimism, imho. The Sanders ad says we're nice happy people who have jobs and help each other. # News on the web still sucks # I can't read most of the stories I want to read. I have the money and am willing to spend it. But there is no system that allows me to pay. # On the other hand the distribution of video entertainment is somewhat functional, I spend an ungodly amount of mostly wasted money to get access to that. # I am not cheap. The news system realllly doesn't wo

Interfacing Data from APEX to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP over REST Aug 29, 2024 · 8 min read Introduction Oracle APEX and Visual Builder are the go-to development platforms for extending and integrating with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. 😉 Obviously, I believe APEX is the best tool for the job. This post will show you how to integrate data from APEX to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP using the erpintegrations REST API. In addition to showing you how to do the integration, the goal of this post is to illustrate why it makes sense to use APEX. Scenario I built an APEX application for a customer to allow users to create and upload manual journals requiring special approvals and business-specific defaulting rules, which was impossible using an out-of-the-box Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP functionality. Once completed, these journals must interface with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP General Ledger. The journal details are converted into a special File-Based Data Import (FBDI) file format and sent t

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 Today Automattic announced that they're converting Tumblr , which they acquired in 2019 , to run on WordPress as its foundation. This could get a simple colorful user-friendly interface for WordPress, something it's needed for a long time. WordPress does everything in its UI, Tumblr has its UI better organized for writers and more casual users. If they can move in this direction, it seems that WordPress could be large part of the emerging social web . # An idea for the Harris campaign. Let me buy some swag and have it sent to 10 of my best friends, esp ones who live in swing states. Plus you get the names and contact info for people at least one of your supporters thought would be a potential Harris voter. I'd send something less presumptuous like When We Fight We Win stickers. Another related idea, let me buy a whole set of promotional materials, kind of like the gift baskets they sell at Zabar's . # Note to the Harris c

Have a great week, — Michael 📝 Self Healing URLs Recently, I've been thinking about self-healing URLs. It's a pretty cool concept, but I have yet to implement it in any project. A lot of the time we need to stick an id or some sort of unique hash into our URL. But this isn't exactly a great user experience — the hash isn't human readable or descriptive, and hashes don't exactly help your SEO. However, we need some sort of unique hash or id. If we just use the title of the blog post, for example, what happens when we update that title? /my-great-article/ -> /my-awesome-art
