The debate last night was a master class in dealing with a malignant narcissist. 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!
Brisk morning! Feels like football weather! 🏈
Feels like fall this morning! 🍂

Beautiful morning! 😀 The Ravens-Chiefs game last night was fun to watch! The tip of the receiver’s toe decided the game as time expired!
Started learning about Github Actions yesterday and finally got an example to actually run without errors. Still diggin'…

Loving this weather although the temp is going up to around 80 but the dew point is low!
Another beautiful day ahead! Sunny and pleasant!
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. 🚇
What a beautiful, sunny day in store today! High in mid 70s! 😎
Rabbit, rabbit! 🐰
I find I’m using ChatGPT more and more to help with coding questions where I used to rely completely on stack overflow.
Last day of August and it’s going to be another hot day!
“Every day is a bonus.” – Badger Bob Johnson
I really love how I can update my main blog, my micro.blog and my Datasette instance all from Electric Drummer! 😎
I have my annual dermatologist appointment today. Ever since my mom passed away from melanoma in 1991 I have been getting my skin checked. I have had a couple of scares (“basal cell carcinoma”) but they were all minor and easily treated.
Ended up spending 5 hours at the Subaru dealer yesterday waiting for my Forester inspection. The biggest time waster was a bearing problem that was covered by my warranty but gave the mechanics all kind of problems. They did have great Wi-Fi though! 😎
Strive not to be a success, but rather be of value. – Albert Einstein
Another scorcher today! I’m really tired of this excessive heat! 🥵
Mid 90s today with a poor air quality alert to boot! I can’t wait until fall gets here!
Another hot day with possible thunderstorms! ⛈️
I’ve added a parser for urls that are in a blog entry. I create an array of the urls and add it at the end of the blog entry before it is added to my Datasette instance. I might revisit the feature at a later date but I like it for now.
A new version of my KM macro that directly updates my Datasette instance from Drummer without requiring a dialog. 😎
My daughter was featured in a local newspaper article about what would happen if the ban on TikTok were to go through. The article can be found here.
Going to another hot day today with the temp pushing 90! 🥵
Now I can go back to looking at why my vector encoding didn’t work last night.
Now I’m trying a new trick using my icon on the side of Drummer to both update my blog and update my Datasette instance. It worked! 🔥
This is really cool! Turns out the Keyboard Maestro supports url schemes so I can call my Dataseet update routine from Drummer! 😎
Fixed a bug. Turns out I needed to change the KM variable definition to use $KMVAR when passing it to a shell script. 😁
Testing out a Keyboard Maestro macro to allow me to add a blog entry/update to my Datasette instance using keyboard commands.
My first attempt at creating vectors last night for my blog content failed for some reason and as I was quite tired I put it aside.
Going to heat up today but the humidity should be relatively low. 🤞🏻
