It's not enough to know how to do something, you also need to understand why.

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

I don't need or want algorithms choosing what I see or when.

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

Hey @elonmusk if you want my $8 dollars you need to do one thing. Make it so that when I choose "latest tweets" as my preference on my time line, that setting sticks between logout/login

I stopped using twitter regularly when it forced the switch to the algorithmic timeline

Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the hardware raid on your consumer motherboard that is really just crappy software raid which WILL fail randomly and painfully especially if you run a dual boot with linux like I do.

Finally got around to deploying my new more powerful server so my site is back on the air.

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

FYI, yes I know my site is down. The server crashed hard and is basically fubar'd. Im in the process of building a new machine but it will probably be a while.

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

@BenNadel It does make me consider if it might be a nice feature to be able to define some kind of view post processing before it gets passed to the layout queue. Not sure how much of a benefit that might be though 🤔

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

@BenNadel At the moment I don't think there is a cleaner way to do this since your example has decision logic in a view template. If you were building the output of the view in a service then it would be a different matter.

Just finished deploying a updated version of the FW/1 wiki https://t.co/XKZbmePaoc

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

Its the holiday season and you know what that means. Time to work on non paying projects. Back into cf land to do some fw/1 work

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

Hey @seancorfield did you see my slack dm about fw/1 docs access? Looking to update for next release but dont have write access. thx

[Steven Neiland @sneiland]

After months of banging my head against the wall in gem dependency hell I've finally got octopress updated so I can update the FW/1 docs and get 4.3 beta out the door.
