How I write and curate the cron.weekly newsletter
An interesting read! I do wonder about having a newsletter for all my bookmarks, but then realised no one would probably subscribe as it's quite a wide range of topics.

Autogenerating the Date
Header in Postman (1 mins read).
How to generate and send a Date
header using Postman.
Great point from David McKay at #DevOpsNotts - not having SSH access to a Production system is hugely important for investing in logging/traceability. That was something I didn't really "get" until I was having to support things and realising I couldn't diagnose it as easily (although the key reason for us not having access is to ensure we can't be near customer production data)
Was wondering why the calendar entry for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham wasn't in my calendar - it's cause I'd got the date wrong on the event (doh!) - it's updated now and I hope to see you there tomorrow https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-q0LsZr0uDBS7
