I have been rolling out CloudFront for a few of my domains, including blog.jj5.net.
In order to integrate CloudFront with WordPress I used the W3 Total Cache plugin.
And in order to set the <link rel=”canonical”> element I used the Yoast SEO plugin.
At one point I had a problem with garbled content in my browser. Looked like the browser was trying to display compressed content as text. But now I can’t reproduce, so hopefully whatever the issue was it is now fixed…
Hope you are having a wonderful day. <3
I added RSS capabilities for InTheLabWithJayJay.com. You can subscribe to the whole thing, or just one channel, or just one show, or just one feature… it was difficulty to create the UI to support that without overcomplicating things. I made the link on the RSS icon support different feed depending on which page you are on.
I just spent two whole days refactoring and improving my jjlab.net website.
One thing I had to think very carefully about for my modeling was the class/instance distinction for various things, you can see my notes below.
So channels have shows, and shows have features.
A series has segments, and segments have a video.
A series is an instance of a show, and a segment is an instance of a feature.
Everything is easy when you know how!
My friend @dcz_ on IRC referred me to this one: Using an Inverting Regulator for Buck/Boost DC-to-DC Voltage Conversion.
Today newspapers around the globe announce that Assange is free.
And about time too, amirite?
No good deed goes unpunished.
If we’re going to live in functioning democracies we need to know what our institutions are doing in our name.
Assange, a true servant of the people.
You might already know that I have the full set of Maxitronix Xin1 kits, but here are some photos of me unboxing my 200in1 so I could send some pics to my mate Dave Jones:
Today In The Lab With Jay Jay just had a good binary milestone. We now have 256 subscribers, which is more than you can count in one byte!
Next stop is 357 when I catch up with my mate Craig!
Well. Wow. What a day!
Today was the opening day of ElectroneX in Sydney.
I had the great privilege of spending the day with my very good friend Aleksei. Between us I think we managed to talk to every single exhibitor. By the time I got home my legs were sore and my lips were parched, so much walking, standing, and talking!
I turned up in character. I wore my costume. A lot of people thought that was fun, as did I. :)
I met Dave Jones of EEVblog fame, which really made my day. I knew he would be there and I was really hoping to see him, and I did! He was nice enough to plug my channel, what an excellent human being! <3
And as if things couldn’t get better they went on and did! It was an honour and a privilege to meet Nicholas Vinen, the editor of Silicon Chip magazine. I had hoped that he would be there and I would run into him… and then he was and I did!
All round a super great day. I had a lot of fun, learned a few things about the state of the art, and I even netted a few new subscriptions on the channel. :)
I had to get new batteries in four of my UPS devices which involved a lot of plugging and unplugging. Since I was down there under my desk I took some time to vacuum and do a better job of my cable labeling.
While I was sorting cables I found one with a frayed end which I decided to keep for spare parts. In makes me nervous just looking at this thing. That’s a mains power lead with bare ends, it’s a death sentence waiting to happen! But that bit of cable with that attachment might very well come in handy some time so I will file it in its relevant drawer.
