This Mastodon post is getting a lot of looks. #

I'm rewatching the HBO series Silicon Valley and loving it as much the second time as I did the first. They really do capture the insanity of the place. I swear I'm in a bunch of the episodes, or it feels that way.#

The new version of Drummer will be ready for testing soon, maybe even later today. If you want to help, please sign up by replying to this item, or watch my blog. As they say -- still diggin!#

Mr Michegas is outlining#

Mr Michegas is the name of my test server. #
This outline is running in the new version of Drummer that:. #

Does identity with an email address.#
Runs under the warm secure Google-blessed blanket of HTTPS, thanks to Caddy. (Very easy way to do HTTPS esp if you use PagePark.)#

Finally I can use it to write an outline.#
This is an ugly job. The very top level of every app is the dirtiest part.#
But I have something working, and that's something to celebrate.#
Something is working.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
