Lot of logistics to figure out for tomorrow’s show. A lot of moving pieces! ๐Ÿšš

Interesting read: Taste is Eating Silicon Valley - “Just as software ate the world and dramatically transformed industries in the last era, taste is now eating softwareโ€”and with it, Silicon Valley”

Arrgh! Happy Talk like A Pirate Day!

Good morning! I’m going to add some blogging shortcuts to my Scripts menu in Drummer to quickly add things like video links, image links and code snippets as subs.

I’m going to put my Drummer script issues to the back burner and get back to my Python tools that I’ve let sit idle for too long!

Because I still haven’t time to fix my script I copied and pasted into my micro.blog site the missing information for the days I was testing the headings. Still not sure if I will continue to use headings but I still will look into the script as I have time.

The Federal Reserve just cut its benchmark interest rate by an unusually large half-point. This should really stir the election pot quite a bit!

Yesterday got away from me with some unexpected things coming up. โ˜น๏ธ

Morning notes

Had great ribs last night at Dee Jays!

Didn’t have much time to dig into my script issues with regard to these headers. Maybe this morning?

Morning notes

Having dinner with a good friend this evening at my favorite ribs place Dee Jays!

Haven’t had a chance to look into what my script is doing when I use these headers and nothing shows up on my micro.blog. Hopefully I can take a look this weekend and put a fix in place.

The debate last night was a master class in dealing with a malignant narcissist.ย  Harris laid traps for Trump that he just walked right into showing the country who he really is!

I absolutely love using Dave Winer’s Electric Drummer for writing my blog content and pushing it to multiple platforms. I also love the scripting capability! The only thing I wish I could do is call shell scripts with ED then I could use my other programming loves of bash and python to do some sweet automations! I have been using Keyboard Maestro as a go between using it’s url scheme which works but gets a little clunky at times.

Gotta love ChatGPT! I hadn’t had a header image since I shut down my old hosting site instead I just had a black background. This afternoon I used ChatGPT to create a few images and chose the one you’re seeing now. I will probably create a bunch more to play with! (This won’t show on my micro.blog site.)

Watching a very interesting interview with Simon Willison on the Software Misadventures Podcast. Some very enlightening ideas!

Another beautiful, crisp morning but the heat is coming back later in the week.

Working on a command line RSS retriever so I can store entries in Datasette.

The Steelers had an ugly win againast Atlanta yesterday! But it’s still a W!

Beautiful morning! ๐Ÿ˜€ The Ravens-Chiefs game last night was fun to watch! The tip of the receiver’s toe decided the game as time expired!

Our local rail system called the T is finally back in full service in my neighborhood! Since my wife and I are “senior citizens” we can ride for free! In fact we’re taking it down to the north shore to check out the WW II ship that is currently docked by Acrisure stadium. Additionally, my wife and I share a car which for the most part works out well. I go out to Barnes and Noble at South Hills Village quite a bit and the T goes there so I might start look into taking it once in awhile instead of driving. ๐Ÿš‡

What a beautiful, sunny day in store today! High in mid 70s! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
