It’s nice to have a designer friend to help you out. Though we do have to tighten this up.
Rails TIL. In Rails 7 you need to render with a status code in order for Flash.now to appear.
Flash.now[:errors] = 'This is an error'
render :edit, status: :whatever_status
It’s wild because I could debug the view and see the Flash is set. But nothing displayed.

Starting the week with more RSS feed hacking. Let’s see if progress is made.
Reading the first 2/3s of Robin Sloan’s Year of New Avenues has me excited! Getting the word out about projects has become rather challenging these days. I’m excited for new projects, and I’m excited for a world where they start being discovered again!
Using render.com, we don’t get much in the way of log retention or searchability. Any service recommendations? At this point I’m going with Papertrail. Logtail seems expensive. Datadog and Mezmo both seem built for something much bigger than what I need.
I’m thinking of getting a MacBook Pro when the next cycle is unleashed. 2023? Main reason is so this excellent 2020 MacBook Air can replace one of our older family computers. I might do the unthinkable and not go with a fresh install on the new computer.

I’ve got all the posts I care to transition transitioned to the new HTML+CSS version of my blog: bjhess.com/blog/. The completist in me feels better (even with broken links), though old posts can be 😬. (Ruby and Nokogiri were the primaries if you nerd like that.)
So my friend Shawn and I have put together a website to help us stay motivated to do the daily thing we like to do to keep ourselves happy. If you need to make sure you do one thing every day, this might be for you, too? Give it a try!

Who remembers Userscripts? Here’s a mirror of the old site. I wanted to add a shortcut to the search bar of a site I use and thought about Userscripts again. Is there a modern equivalent?
My Current VS Code Shortcuts
Whelp, the money shoe has dropped (RE: G Suite legacy free edition), which probably makes it so I’ll actually figure out transitioning my email from Gmail. The question is Fastmail, Zoho Mail, or some other.
Getting the dust bunnies out. 💻
