ebullient·works

This plugin was both fussy and fun! It helps people that are not CSS savvy customize the way their task lists appear.

Max, Jason, Georgios and I all got together to answer questions about Quarkus.

Andres Almiray joins us to discuss how to package and release Quarkus applications with JReleaser.

Put together on a whim for the Obsidian October event, my theme is out!

I am bad at naming things, so I called it "ebullientworks" because this is how Ebullient (that's me) works in Obsidian.

Speaking at the QCon Plus virtual conference was a nice experience. Each track had an ad-hoc meeting room that you could join after the session, which was really cool. It was nice to be able to speak with people that watched my talk directly. It brought back a bit of the in-person conference feel.

Of course the first question was "Which edition of D&D?" (5e), what I didn't expect was the next question, "Is that the new Sesame Street Lego set?" (yes).

The recording will be generally available in August of 2022!

Host, or Guest? It doesn't matter.

Max and I discuss different testing strategies for command mode applications (or command-line interfaces (CLIs) if you prefer).

I've had a lovely time working with Obsidian.md. Some day I will have to do a proper write-up of how I'm using it to organize my brain.

The TL;DR version is that I had a mental log-jam in March, when the kids finished their first D&D campaign while I was also in the middle of starting some new things for the day job. I made a vault for D&D, and dumped ALL of the stuff there (removing it from the scattering of notes I had in places, and netting out all the relationships I kind of had just lying around in my head). I made another vault for the rest of what is in my brain, and that is proceeding at a slower pace.

In any event, the way things have evolved, I needed a plugin that did something a little differently for tasks associated with a project, so I created the Task Collector plugin.

OMG! I had a hard time writing this. I was asked if I would do it, which I said yes to before really having a clear idea what I wanted to talk about. As a keynote for J4K, I could have spoken about ... a whole plethora of things.

Host, or Guest? It doesn't matter. I got to spend an hour talking with two of my favorite people, Rick Osowski @rosowski, and Chris Richardson @crichardson, about the evolution of microservices, recommended practices, and pitfalls.

Giuseppe Scaramuzzino @GiuseScara comes by to discuss his youtube channel, tutorials and building Quarkus projects using MicroProfile specifications.
