Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up and no humans are allowed. One special weekend, Dracula has invited all his best friends to celebrate his beloved daughter Mavis's 118th birthday. For Dracula catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem but the party really starts when one ordinary guy stumbles into the hotel and changes everything!

Been playing around a bit with DuckDB and am really impressed so far. I’m considering using it as the data store for a new version of my website. All data would live in hive partitioned directories of JSON files.

 

I’ve already written a tool that will export most of the content on my website to MF2 JSON in the right directory structure. I can easily query the entire data set using DuckDB. Slick!

Checked into Tin Roof Bistro

Dinner with Nolan and Tennille.

 

Been having fun building out a potential replacement CMS for my website. Really impressed with DuckDB. I’ll have all of the performance and simplicity of a static site generator with the power of SQL for querying a directory of JSON files.

 

So far I have built a data model supporting all of the kinds of content that my current site offers, with micropub support, including a media endpoint. Lots still to do. Very much a long-term background project.

 

Next up will be IndieAuth. Then I’ll need to start working on templating for the HTML so it’s more than just an API for querying and filtering MF2 JSON.

I’ve started on IndieAuth, which is more complicated than I remember. Thankfully, I have implemented it once before, so I have some stale but working code to reference.

On a track where Ferrari has a pace advantage, with a massive opportunity for big points, the FIA has decided it’s okay to give a 10 place grid penalty to Sainz for suffering damage because of a botched track. So dumb!

 

This idea that the FIA had “no choice” but to impose the penalty is ludicrous. At multiple points this season the FIA has decided not to penalize a clear rules violation because of extenuating circumstances. Remember Max holding up traffic in the pit exits in qualifying?

 

Julian Clary makes smart use of a fishing rod, Sue Perkins reimagines Botticelli, Sam Campbell collects some coins and Lucy Beaumont asks Alex Horne to sit on a sled.
