Jeff Sikes - Hire me!

RE: @deadline@mastodon.social

Firefly is officially coming back as an animated series. 🤩

#Firefly

Anything #fediverse related going on at #SXSW this year? With the convention center closed down until 2029 I know it's tough to find available space at a reasonable price.

I see some ATProto sessions. And the Nostr diVine app is getting some promotion as well.

The reboot of Digg is shutting down for awhile.

Interesting read, especially the bot problem.

Hubby: “I need something that will help me remember to take my pill in the morning. Can you think of anything?”

Me: “Yep yep yep yep yep!”

I'm officially opening the job hunt. As y'all know, I love technology. Finding ways to make the most of resources on hand is my specialty. Non-Profit world for the past decade.

I love building teams that feel valued, with a clear vision of how their work makes a difference.

Looking for orgs with a drive to make the world better & offer my skills to help that happen.

Boost, Like, Reply, have at it. 🙂

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

I'm drowning in vibes.

Heh, heh. Tonight I stumbled upon a hidden little feature in Fedify's CLI.

If you run `fedify nodeinfo mastodon.social -b` you get a cute little ascii art representation of the instance's logo.

Happy to see a bit of fun mixed into these fedi tools!

I’m at the “let’s organize my wires drawer” phase of unemployment.

How many usb to headphone jack adapters does one person need? Four it seems.

RE: @HolosSocial@mastodon.social

Really getting FOMO for this one. Almost want to buy an android just so I can try it out. 😅

Sanity prevails. Marriage in temporary chaos, but we will find our way through this.

My initial reaction to this article was amusement, then a reality shock, then empathy for humans that don’t have or don’t want this type of intimacy in real life, that feel actual loss.

Then sadness for their loneliness and finally anger at the AI companies that took advantage of that in the first place.

Well, #TIL you can submit a title and description via the git CLI just by adding a line break in your commit message. Or, just add -m tag twice.

Better late than never, I guess. I blame .NET and Visual Studio for me not knowing this.

```
git commit -m "TITLE: Commit Title

This will be the description"
```

or

```
git commit -m "Commit Title" -m "This will be the description"
```

Using @fedify@hollo.social to see how far I can get with very simplistic AP objects and activities. The tutorial and documentation was helpful and gave me a solid template to work from.

The fedify CLI is a great debugging tool, too.

The built in tunnel command makes it a snap to spin up temporary servers that are open to the public web for testing. Here I have two instances spun up so I can send activities between them.

Found a new web-based fediverse app that looks nice and supports MFM and Emoji. Works great with IceShrimp.NET. (thanks to JoinMastodon.org app listings)

Edit: oh! It works with Hollo, too - I always forget that Hollo supports emoji reacts.
