Rawr? Not so sure about the Mozilla rebrand since the Moz://a is so very iconic and the new font (however advanced) just looks like a slab serif? See what it will look like on the JKR landing page for the redesign. 🦖

If you code Typescript with Deno, which you should since its tooling makes life easy, you might take advantage of ‘dvm’ or Deno Version Manager. It allows you to install and track multiple deno versions, and easily switch between. 🤩

Deno 2.1 lets you zip everything up into a single executable, which makes for easy and secure distribution (and far less user support). Ian Bull’s post demos this important feature. 🧁

Deno’s fetch uses a rust library that won’t connect to servers with older TLS or cipher suites, so I worked around it in Lume by pulling a json file using the venerable curl, then manipulating that as I needed. Details in this gist. ⛑️

Struggled today with fetch in a Deno app. The rust lib Deno uses is extra strict about TLS security and would not connect to a REST API. Had to pull the json into a webhook app and fetch from that in Deno. A little detail here. 🤷‍♂️

Today we got a concerning piece of mail, an introduction to a “masseur” who does house calls. It had a power of attorney form, which screamed scam. Do people really stamp and return those!? I imagine the target is elderly folk, who might just do it. 😱

Do you know about CUBE CSS, a thoughtful approach to CSS and website design authored by @bell.bz? I think this approach is great because it leverages CSS’s basic nature (and doesn’t fight it), and probably, makes it a little easier to work in a cross-disciplinary team. 👏🏻

Reading about the lovely next-gen programmer font “Monaspace” on GithubNext, also found a cool fork of it, Moralerspace, that merges in Japanese “IBM Plex Sans JP” and a nerd font. Nihongo looks good, and the “nerd” symbols mean tricky Terminal prompts will display as well. 😎

Listening to BSI’s “The Standards Show” today I learned about the British “Kitemark” for service excellence and others. Interesting concept of having triers adhere to multiple British or ISO standards to achieve a given Kitemark scheme. Can any Brits share their thoughts?🪁

Saw “Samurai Timeslipper” yesterday after reading a review in the paper, and liked it. It’s Showaesque, low budget (eg the actual AD plays an AD, director dons many hats) warmly humorous, takes cues from the best of J cinema. 🥰 www.samutai.net https://www.samutai.net/

Went with friend Dave to see the Drum Corps Japan Championship at Carlos Ghohn Memorial Stadium 😅 as he calls it (aka Nissan Stadium), and it was a fantastic long day of great performances. Even the really small corps were excellent, employing creative solutions to their size challenges. 🎼

We installed a physical security system in May. After telling the client yesterday during a conversation about extended warranty that “security panels don’t really break very often”, of course THIS AM the security panel is failing and we are scrambling. From my lips to God’s ears?! 🚨

Lately we’re building websites in the fantastic «Lume ルメ» by Óscar Otero, and using its companion CMS to make editing easier for users. The CMS runs on Deno Deploy, or in a VPS like those from Digital Ocean and the latter provides an awesome live preview capability. 🚀
