The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@slightlylate Aaaaah, luxury car brands! I’ve contributed to some staggeringly slow websites for some very high-end car brands in the past. The platform we were forced to build with gave me heartburn.

@harshamv @AdGuard Oh that's frustrating. Thanks @harshamv. Since we offer free hosting and people can use a subdomain on http://netlify.com, I think this is bashed our rating. We've been looking into that.

@Rumyra @Netlify RESULT!

I think that hosting your own blog /portfolio is really valuable. The excellent @lauragift21 blogged about exactly that recently.

@marsty5 I don't see why feedback can't be useful whenever you feel receptive to it. I think that I sought feedback after gigs which felt "good" to me. And probably received feedback at gigs which did not. :)

I bet you feel your rhythm or style emerging waaaay before 100. Just enjoy!

@marsty5 I'm no expert. But 100 gigs seems like an arbitrary number (which I've heard too).

Personally, I think it depends on how often you gig, how much material you explore, and what quality the gigs are. (I don't mean *your* quality. I mean how.. um... real the audience is)

@Rumyra It's one of those things I take a bit for granted now, TBH. But they are really handy!

I like to add one to any examples I make so that people can replicate them for themselves and set up all of the @Netlify CI/CD pipeline, serverless function etc... all in one click.

I was working in agency-land back in 2016 when @Netlify introduced their Deploy Button. I instantly loved it.

It let me create a set of project starter templates which could all be cloned to bootstrap new projects with a single click.

@marsty5 Oooft. I feel that with you!

I think of it like adding another layer of skin to the calluses you need to become a better guitar player.

Onwards! 🥳

@Mandy_Kerr Yes.

I'm assuming that you rappel down from the ceiling to access the fridge. (Or at least tip toe up to it, Scooby Doo style)

@Paul_Kinlan In fairness, it appears to be so large that it has to be carried with 2 hands like a big bucket. So there’s that.

@Jack_Franklin Nah! Lack of sleep makes me more chatty... if perhaps slightly manic. We could record at double speed to save people using that feature on their playback.

Chatting on @radioverulam with my comedy buddy @leewilsoncomedy, and shouting about our upcoming @ItsHumdingers comedy night at @AbbeyTheatreStA.

Just a few tickets left for our last show of the year. With the excellent @MarcelLucont and support.

@ChrisFerdinandi Yep. That’s fine.
git revert whenever you are ready.

We might make the same request here in the UK if that’s cool with you.

8 weeks of flitting about in various time zones and conferences with irregular sleep has been fine, and kinda fun. Adrenaline is a powerful drug!

But I’m home now. The adrenaline is gone. And I seem to have received a bill for ALL of my jet lag at once.

I’ll pop the kettle on.

@raymondcamden @eleven_ty Oohhhh. Can I ask what you mean by “raw posts”? Is this applying a template?
