A website about technology and life.

  1. screenshot of comment form
    You can leave a comment
  2. screenshot of webmention send form
    You can send a webmention too!
  3. screenshot of webmention login notice
    After you log in with your website first of course

I keep sharing links to my blog, so I figured I’d update my blog to let you leave comments on it too. Now theres native commenting, with a real data model, clean front-end forms, and a simple moderation flow in the admin. Spam is filtered early with Akismet and Turnstile, so my comments aren’t flooded with AI bots.

    I've had some really snuggly dogs today
  2. screenshot of a git status output
    See how many changes there are?!?

Just finished adding webmentions to my blog and now I'm already neck deep into building a comments system using Akismet and CloudFlare Turnstile to fight spam. Can't beat a cozy coding Sunday!

Crosing all my fingers and toes that this works! I'm really wanting to be able to participate in these communities while keeping my blog as the source of truth for my content.

(if you're wondering what I'm doing, I'm using Brid.gy to take this from my blog and share here)

Today’s hike was more business than pleasure lol. I only had a few minutes of stopped time because some days you just need to get the miles in and grid it out.

Over the weekened Azure and I went for a walk around the neighborhood and saw some really fun and cute houses. It was nice to get outside despite it being cold! The sun felt increidble juxtaposed against the cold air.

  1. desk in seated position
    New desk default mode: seated.
  2. desk top with keyboard and mouse
    I love this new setup so much
  3. Desk in standing position
    Wiggle mode: standing

I start a new job tomorrow at Filevine, and I’m more than a little excited. So excited, in fact, that it felt like the perfect excuse to finally upgrade my desk setup 📸

IKEA came through with the GLADHÖJDEN sit-stand desk, and Amazon handled the rest with a new keyboard, mouse, and monitor arm.

The last piece left is a chair. Something comfortable is next on the list, I just have not landed on the right one yet.
