Finished reading: Responsible JavaScript by Jeremy Wagner. Good quick read on performance and minimizing JS, and I learned a few things. Felt good to know a lot of it and/or agree on the philosophy already 📚.

What a doodle! Is it a gleeful Cardinal Richelieu about to go on an arson spree? The world may never know.

More drawings. Here’s a demon that looks kind of like a Genie. All hail the smoking goat head!

Images in my micro posts aren’t loading properly in micro.blog. The problem is also present in NetNewsWire, so something is clearly off on my end.

Continuing my doodle posts. Here we see something involved in a seemingly bad situation. Hope it works out!

Finished reading: HTTP Pocket Reference by Clinton Wong, in one day 📚. ETags, anyone?

Checked the micro.blog logs, and the cert “expired” at 10:06 a.m. (EST), so the site was down for almost 2 hours. Previously.

Site was down for a few minutes (that I know of) due to an expired cert error. I checked the server and my cert was not expired. I rebooted nginx and it’s working again. 🤷

Started reading: HTTP Pocket Reference by Clinton Wong. Published in 2000, it’s still a good refresher, although distressingly it omits status code 418 📚.

Alamo Drafthouse put out a list of 100 movies they’d want on a desert island back in 2020. Sourced from all their creative directors across the country. I thought it was an interesting place to … Read more

I watched Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles last night. It’s so aggressively naturalistic, I had to sink in, but I found paying attention throughout well worth it. 🍿

Watched David Cronenberg’s The Brood from 1979. I wanted to like it more. Someday.
