Saturday 6th April, 2024 - Pushing To Main (Issue #158)
A fantastic mix of tech related podcasts from state of the tech scene reviews to hobby project development, and some interviews with very interesting people. Your gonna love it.
Hello and welcome to my newsletter!
Another season 2 instalment…
There’s a great list of awesome podcasts this week. It’s a mix of hobby project development, interviews with tech luminaries, reviews of the current state of tech, a look at a recent supply chain attack, importance of bitcoin upgrades, some higher level state of the world stuff, and a bit of comedy for good measure. I think you’ll enjoy the selection and find something to your tastes.
As far as development work on my static site generator it’s been a bit of a disaster. I ended up getting forced down a dangerous path and broke the main website. It was pretty narly. All fixed now, and actually learnt a few important things, so I’ve revised my plan for getting the interleaved homepage working. It’s all detailed in a blog post I wrote late last night:
Module caches and reusable workflows https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2024/04/05/module-caches-and-reusable-workflows
Consequently the newsletter is a bit rushed. I haven’t had time to write episode descriptions next to the selections yet. I might get a chance to do that later today.
I’ll keep the intro short this week, I need to get some breakfast, and get back to working on the interleaved homepage. I had a nearly working version working a few days ago before all the issues, and it was looking really awesome. I’m super excited about it, and totally focussed on getting it operational. With any luck I’ll have something to share this week.
