Scripting News: Monday, August 12, 2024
A new rule for journalists. End the interview on the first egregious lie. Turn the lights out, switch off the recorder, get up and leave. And your report should state clearly that this is why the interview was terminated. It never should have been tolerated in the first place. #
I listened to a bunch of podcasts this morning about how freaked out Trump is. If a president freaks out over something like this, how would he handle a Cuban Missile Crisis? Remember the phone call at 3AM? We saw what he did with COVID, he froze, like he's freezing now. #
When the NYT makes Trump sound like a reasonable candidate that a sane person might vote for, remember this day.#
When Google tells you it's easy to convert a site to HTTPS they're wrong. It's an insurmountable job for scripting.com. 30 years of writing is on that domain, lots of different runtimes on lots of different domains which would also have to be converted. Images in all the pages. All that breaks when you flip the switch. I can't walk away from a big part of my life's work. Sorry, not for Google. Every time someone assumes I'm to blame for this situation, that's how Google has tricked you. I followed the rules. They broke them. #
Speaking of which, I must've converted DocServer some time ago and didn't test it well enough. It didn't even load. Oy. It works now. #
