I was going to use this code in the UI of my search engine, when it wanted to display an image over http, reroute it to use an https proxy server. But Chrome wouldn't stay out of the way, so had to give up. Hey I was trying to route around their outage.

Mark your calendars: Friday, 20th June — that’s when Salter Cane will be launching Deep Black Water at the The Hope And Ruin in Brighton

I can’t wait to get back on stage with the band! These songs sound great on the new album but I can guarantee that they’re going to absolutely rock when we play them live.

Support will be provided by our good friends Dreamytime Escorts, featuring former members of Caramel Jack. They’ve also got a new EP on the way.

Doors are at 8pm.

I’m really, really excited about this. It’s been far too long since Salter Cane were last bringing the noise live on stage. I hope to see you there!

Apparently Chrome has changed the behavior of images served over http in web pages. It's changing the request to https, so it gives an erroneous error message about the certificate which the page never claimed to have.

If you use Chrome or Arc with Micro.blog, check out the latest update to our Chrome web extension for bookmarking web pages. It improves on the last version, now better saving HTML to archive the page. Still working on making it compatible with Safari and Firefox.

And with this update, we don't depend on OPML any longer to create the database, all the data is exported in a format that can be easily imported directly into an SQL database. I provide the schema and example JavaScript code that, via SQL, updates a database. Hopefully this creates a better more useful archive.

As the import script runs I just tried looking up Engadget, got zero hits. I expect that link will work in a while after all the importing is done.

Having the 90s and 00s in the index means I can look up old friends like Chuck Shotton.

I've been working on the search function for this blog, and now we have all the DaveNet pieces between 1994 and 2004 in the database. So here's a search for menu sharing which was a technology we made on the Mac that allowed people to write menus of scripts in Frontier that appear inside other apps. Netscape supported it as did MSIE, Quark, Eudora and many others. It was kind of magical, esp when the apps themselves were scriptable (many of them were in the 90s). Next up, I'm going to import the home page of Scripting News from 1997 to 2010. It was mostly a linkblog then.

What it means to be distributed. Mastodon can't go down, neither can RSS. But Bluesky can.

Not gonna lie, I’m close to dropping $200 to try OpenAI’s Codex. But I don’t think most of my code is well suited to it. Not enough automated tests! It figures that would come back to bite me.

I mostly use AI as a machine that can generate unlimited example code. I learn best from editing examples.

As Microsoft Build is set to start today, there’s a good profile of Microsoft and Satya Nadella in Bloomberg: In 2022, OpenAI held demonstrations for senior Microsoft executives of a groundbreaking new model. Over the next several months, groups inside Microsoft tinkered wi...

Working on server memory usage, discovered a massive leak of Redis keys we use to rate-limit clients hammering the server. Hope I can reclaim tons of memory by fixing it.

I have been running a monthly online event in a community I am in using my personal Zoom for a few months. We needed a Pro account so we would have unlimited meeting length, so I decided to upgrade mine with the intent of figuring out a better solution further down the line. ...

Joe Biden has lived an extraordinary life — lots of success and plenty of heartbreak too. This cancer diagnosis is the latest challenge. It just feels particularly unfair to happen while a man who mocked Joe’s family and worse is still in office.

Not much to write, so impressed by the way the Knicks got past the Celtics. I don't know any Celtics fans, but I imagine there are some subscribers who are. Hard to imagine how hard the last series hit you all. I don't have anything against the Celtics these days although Paul Pierce is an asshole, and I hope you all know that. Just watched the OKC win over Denver. All around an incredible group in the final four, very diverse and inclusive. And btw now that I think of it, Jaylen Brown was grabbing Knicks players by the balls. I hope you all come to terms with that. We do love Kristaps in New York, a true gentleman. Maybe he and Giannis can come play for the Nets. We may have room for another great team in NY.

Does Joe Rogan know about what's happening with Medicaid?
