A lot of running around today so not much writing.
A lot of wind this morning with gusts up to 40 mph! This must be the March lion roaring! π¦
Started exploring the datasets at Data.gov to use with Datasette.
Woke up to snow on the grass!! βοΈ
One more of my favorite quotes:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.Β For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
β βAlbert Einstein
One of my favorite quotes:
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
β βNelson Mandela
Yikes it’s 28Β° this morning! π₯Ά
Damn! It’s going to get cold again this week! Could even see some flurries! π
All the quarterbacks that were on the Steeler roster last year are gone by either release, trade or free agency! Now the quarterback room has Russell Wilson who has won a super bowl and Justin Fields who was acquired from the Bears via a trade! Going to be very interesting come training camp!!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We miss you John!
End of the short lived Kenny Pickett era with the Steelers.
Looking into why my Bookmarks page on my Micro.blog isn’t updating automatically when I use the bookmarklet to add a site/page. UPDATE: It may have to do with adding new content to my blog itself. Turns out all other “data” pages like Bookmarks do not update until the entire site is rebuilt which only happes automatically when a post is updated or a new post is added. Hmmm….
Kind of a dreary morning and not as warm as yesterday but I’m having lunch with a dear friend which makes it a sunny day in my heart! π
My next steps are to learn more about the Micro.blog platform and what it’s features are.
I forgot… Happy π day!
Success!! π π π
Now I have deleted the attribute to check to see if the new post logic works as well!
This is the first test with the new logic. And it worked!!
My intention is to be able to update both my blog and my micro.blog from the same outline so they have the same content. Now I need to fold my new post and my edit post scripts into one script adding logic to detect if it’s a new post or an edited post.
This is the first test. It worked!
Building out my test scripts for using Drummer to update my micro.blog site.
I just discovered the problem! I was using the wrong term (method instead of type) in the request object and now it's working! Tomorrow is going to be fun! π
Still struggling with using Drummer to update my micro.blog site. My script seems to work as there are no errors but nothing shows up on my site. I tried a quick test using Python and it worked perfectly so I'm lost at the moment as to what Drummer is doing. I think I need to step away from it for a little bit and clear my head. (This was copied from Drummer into MarsEdit)
Or I can continue to copy and paste from Drummer into MarsEdit but not my favorite method.
Of course I could continue to use MarsEdit π
This worked but is kind of clunky! I think I might look into writing a simple Python editor for my micro.blog site.
This is an interesting test for my Micro.blog site. I’m using a Jupyter Notebook to write my content and then sending it to my site. Let’s see how this works!
This is a test of an emoji π
Hopefully finding a solution to using Drummer with my micro.blog site today.
I would really prefer to use Drummer for both my blog and my micro.blog so I need to dig further into the micro.blog API. Right now I am copying and pasting from Drummer to MarsEdit which is not very efficient.
Just added a custom domian to my Micro.blog site garywthompson.dev
Working on getting my Micro.blog site up and running via their API but I'm running into issues with Drummer however MarsEdit works fine.
Today is my youngest daughter's birthday! Happy Birthday to an extremely talented artist and business woman! π₯³πΒ
That worked but it was sort of brute force as it took away the extra space between lines.
There are 2 returns before this line.
I added some code to strip tags out of the item.description.
Checking to see if it works.
Doing some debugging to see where the HTML tags are coming from…
Interestingly I do not see the HTML code in the xml file itself so I need to do some digging.
I changed some code in feedtomasto.js so let's see if I did it right! π
My masto server does not support markdown π©
Masto is showing HTML markup from my personal feed.
Adding a new item to my personal feed to see if it shows up in my Masto feed.
I may have broken something.
