Feeling much better and back to work ;)

@nx @laura It’s a small JS app I wrote that’s being served by Site.js (https://sitejs.org).

You can find the source here: https://source.ind.ie/small-tech.org/site/tree/master/themes/small-tech/static/.dynamic

My goal is to make it into a Site.js plugin and release it separately once I’ve implemented plugin functionality in Site.js :) But it’s basically all Node.js and shouldn’t be too much effort to pull out into a pure Node.js app if you wanted to.

Hope that helps :)

Got my first full night’s sleep in one-and-a-half weeks without coughing my lungs out all night… fingers crossed, I’m on the mend.

Can’t wait to get back into things when I’m back on my feet again.

So they changed the live steam URL and only tweeted out the new one 35 minutes into the talk after I made a stink. Bloody hell. https://mobile.twitter.com/webstandards/status/1172866025852768257

Looks like they’re quite a delay. I’m sure it should start soon but I won’t be able to keep checking and update you so keep the tab open somewhere :)

Laura’s talk at State of the Browser in a London is about to start. Watch live here:

I get hundreds of millions of dollars every year by legitimising surveillance capitalists and enabling them to violate your privacy by default. (I wouldn’t exist without them.) Please trust me on privacy.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

OK, OK, you can stop glaring: I’m Mozilla, y’all love me. 💕

@teslas_moustache And if you need any pointers on how much to trust Mozilla, remember they they get hundreds of millions of dollars every year for legitimising and allowing a third-party to violate your privacy (currently Google, Inc.)

Site.js 12.4.1 release

• Easier WebSocket broadcast from DotJS routes

• Easier installation on macOS – now uses cURL, which is installed by default, instead of wget, which is not (thanks to @adamprocter for hitting the pain points and writing about it: https://discursive.adamprocter.co.uk/2019/08/27/trying-small-technology.html)

So a week in Sydney for UX Australia and a week away on holiday in Malaga (boy did we need it) and now I’m back with a stinking sore throat. Yay me. Gotta shake this thing before Reading Bodies in Berlin this weekend (https://small-tech.org/events/)

Folks, Laura and I are taking our first holiday in yonks tomorrow. We’re going to unplug. No computers, Mastodon, email, etc. See you all in a week :)

#AlmostHome

I asked Steve (@docbaty) at the after-party last night if he thought my opening keynote at @UXAustralia would lose him sponsors next year. His response brought tears to my eyes. Be like Steve.

“So if people heard the message that you said, Aral, in your keynote and their response was ‘well I want nothing to do with that conference’, well in all honesty, fuck ‘em.” – @docbaty
