Over the past month or so, I spent a bit of time working on setting up a local development environment for a project that I’m working on. As part of that, I also set up a deployment flow using a simple Github webhook handler in PHP. I modeled this Github webhook handler very much after […]

Jetpack Crew Meetup in Porto
In June, I flew to Porto, Portugal to join the Crew team on their meetup. After nearly 2 years with Automattic not having meetups, it was great to see some old friends as well as meet several new people that we’d added in the past couple of years. Near the beginning of the meetup, I […]

How to export Github pull requests
I had the need recently to export Github pull requests from a repository to a CSV so that I could do some analysis. I wasn’t able to find a simple way to this in the Github UI. When I searched, I found several tools. But, the API seemed quite simple, so I just wrote a […]

Hangout Music Festival 2022
About a month ago, Sara and I went to Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This trip was Sara’s birthday and Christmas gift for 2021. The only thing that she asked for – to see Post Malone in concert. Originally she suggested that we go to Lollapalooza in Europe, but I was sure that […]

My first meetup in 2 years! Pura Vida
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Costa Rica for a meetup with our Backup, Scan, and Security Research teams. This was the first time that I had traveled for work in 2 years! Over the past couple of years, I’d gotten comfortable with the idea of not traveling. It was relaxing to not be […]

As part of our Spring Break trip to New Mexico this week, my family stopped by White Sands National Park for some sand sledding. We bought sleds from the visitors center for $24.99. Note that I said buy, not rent. You can gift the sleds back to the visitors center when you’re done and they’ll […]

On comparing large lists
In the past, I’ve often had to generate email lists of users that fit specific conditions. This usually isn’t too difficult with some of our in-house data tools at Automattic. But, when I hit a case where I have to work across systems, it usually results in me dumping the data from each system and […]

How to expand tilde in bash script
When I was working on a recent bash script, I was irritated when I wasn’t getting output to my desktop. After a while, I figured out that quoted tildes are not automatically expanded. From that link: If a word begins with an unquoted tilde character (‘~’), all of the characters up to the first unquoted […]
