Offline GnuPG Master Key and Subkeys on YubiKey NEO Smartcard
I used this around 8 months ago and it's a great guide for getting set up!

The height of a pandemic really is the time for the monitor you use for work to start to play up π at least I've got the laptop screen
So some refactoring I did in my Micropub endpoint resulted in me breaking it π looks like I have a gap in my testing of how Jackson serialises data

I'm going to say that the paws pressed against my face are there lovingly as we have a little pre-bedtime cuddle
PSA to folks with washing machines that sit under a counter with a little space on top - next time you're cleaning, pull it out. I've just found a treasure trove of washing up gloves, dishcloths, tubs and a bowl!
I'm really surprised that with all the other amazing stuff Dyson have made, they've not yet made a vacuum cleaner that doesn't scare animals π€·π½ββοΈ
I will be attending What's new in PHP 7.4, and coming up in PHP 8 on
So turns out that when I said "yes dinner is ready" to Anna Dodson I actually meant "I put it in the oven on the wrong temperature and dinner isn't cooked yet" π³
For those of you that weren't able to make Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts, it's on her YouTube channel π https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fybQ2oId1I4
And for folks who've rightfully come out of Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts wanting to start blogging, there's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham which is every other week (online) and is a great space to put two hours aside to blog / work on your website
Another good point by Pauline Narvas - be careful about oversharing / sharing things that may make hurt you/your company's public image, as well as hurt folks you know #WiTNotts
I'm enjoying how Pauline Narvas has answered lots of questions with "I'll send you a blog post I've written about this", it's nice to see someone other than me doing it π #WiTNotts
YES! Pauline Narvas's comment at #WiTNotts about having blogging influence the quality/length of her Pull Request descriptions resonates massively with me. Since doing more blogging / technical writing I've found that my written communication has improved greatly - or maybe it's just more verbose π
Really lovely to hear how much of an inspiration Pauline Narvas's blog has had on building communities and inspiring folks to do things #WiTNotts
"Blogging is more (to me) than the amount of views per month.. it can be whatever you want it to be" - great point by Pauline Narvas about how when blogging you shouldn't try to fit the niche - it's something I try to practice too by writing for myself under "blogumentation" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ #WiTNotts
Just pushed a fix for meetup-mf2.jvt.me as it's not handling the Online events very well - it should now respond a bit better
Been a great kickoff from Anna Dodson and @LittleHelli to start #WiTNotts and we're about to have to Pauline Narvas's talk Thoughts to Pixels: the impact of blogging

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow - we're online only on Zoom, and I'll share the link in the Tech Nottingham Slack for Nottingham folks https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-UpVd9JZeVzx6
I'd planned to get my haircut a couple of days before the #coronavirus self isolation, but didn't get a chance. 20 days in we called it, so Anna Dodson cut my hair tonight π± we're both super impressed!

Putting my washing away while pair programming with a colleague - this is peak working from home!
An interesting move - considering recent controversy on the platform and how it was looking to monetise, hopefully for the best?

It'll be of no surprise to any of you who know me as a #PersonalWebsite and #blogging advocate that I would be very much looking forward to Pauline Narvas's talk at #WiTNotts this Thursday! And as it's remote, hopefully more of you can join!
