Sitting here incredibly anxious this morning as I’m running commands on a production database. Its of course been tested thoroughly before today but it’s unexpectedly taking a lot longer to run on the prod server 🤞

What Filament/Laravel media packages are people using? We've been using the Curator package (which has been great) but a request has been made for directories and managing folder structures for organising our media, which Curator doesn't seem to support.

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

A couple of months later and I realise this was a poor tech choice on my part. Currently attempting to upgrade from Remix.js v2 to React Router v7 and the entire process is proving painful.

First finished craft piece of the year. Normally a cross stitcher but wanted to give thread painting a try, there will definitely be more of this coming up!

I've been offline since last Wednesday and now have quite a backlog of tech news to catch up on. Some really exciting stuff coming out of Laracon.

Managed to get my new self-hosted Ghost cms instance up and running yesterday, the editor is just so nice to use. Think I may eventually use it headless with an 11ty frontend.

Took roughly two days for my data download to come through from Twitter which means I can now shut down my account. Even though I haven’t used the platform in months, I kept the profile just in case. But now I know I won’t be going back so time delete.

Spent the afternoon trying to spin up a personal site in Kirby cms. Many years ago it was my CMS of choice but its had a few updates since then. I’ve found it very frustrating this time round. Once I figure stuff out I may write some tutorials because there seems to be very little out there.

Morning everyone and happy new year! It's back to work for me today, starting off well with Teams refusing to open 🙃 Got a few days before the new sprint starts so plenty of time to ease in with some dev maintenance tasks.

Thinking of running Ghost cms on a DO droplet alongside a couple of laravel applications, has anyone done similar? Would this be a massive headache to maintain?

Spent a few hours trying to integrate the OpenAI api into a project but getting nowhere. The brand new account I created has a usage of 0 yet has apparently exceeded the limit without doing anything. Abandoning for today

Made a little progress on my cross stitch pdf storage feature yesterday. I'm running them through iLoveAPI before uploading onto digitalocean storage. The sleepy hollow pattern I got this week has 7 pages and starts at 8.9MB but is uploading to the storage at just over 1MB.

Really sad to see so many small businesses having to close/pause selling over the EU’s GPSR that’s come into effect just before Christmas. These aren’t just side hustles, they’re main sources of income for some people and there’s been very little advice or help given by selling platforms.

Having issues with TypeScript already this morning. v5.7 is meant to introduce the new Object.groupBy but I just can't get past "Property 'groupBy' does not exist". Would really like to use it as it would shrink my custom date formatting function by a good few lines.

Morning! In the run up to Christmas break work is more about maintenance than building exciting new features so this weeks priorities are writing tests, improving code coverage and evaluating some external tools.

Thinking of building another little side project, a habit tracker with some basic journalling features for week notes. I’ve enjoyed using an app called Trainerize for fitness tracking but I lose access to that at the end of Dec so would like to build something similar & not fitness specific.

Happy Saturday! So far I’ve done an exercise class, caught up with a friend I’ve not seen in a while and baked some bread. Next up, I’ve got some content to upload to the side project, an AI/PHP video to watch and I want to choose and then start my next crafty project.
