My eldest is obsessed with Luxo Jr, the Pixar lamp. Keeps watching the short films and giggling the whole time. My wife found a 3D model of it, we printed it, and my eldest hasn’t stopped playing with it all day 🥲 I promise I thought I selected white filament. My eldest doesn’t seem to care.
Sharing a little bit of behind-the-scenes from the post I'm working on. Because I have lots of webernetes clusters running in the tab, I wanted a way to debug their state so I've given them all this on-hover debugging UI that's only active during development. Lets me do anything to the cluster!
I still can’t believe that this widget sits on top of 100,00 lines of etcd, kubelet, cluster networking, probing, pod lifecycle, deployment controller, namespace controller, GC controller, and more. And all of the perf issues I had with it were React and the SVG filters in the bloody blog theme.
Not quite sure I like the connotations of “true believer,” and don’t agree with the anthropomorphic language used in the paragraph below. But I do think it has the potential to be a big force for good.
> *drags on a cigarette* tell him we measure globulance in Steves, and floobicity in Jeffs. Though typing that out I now realise we use the “jiffy” as a real unit of time in computing. *looks it up* Oh fuck off.
My message history is just this now. The duck was particularly funny because years ago I added an autocorrect to my iPhone keyboard that changes duck to fuck, and it’s quite fiddly to work around that it turns out.
Clean through, yeah. The way it had broken gave it a sharp tip. Kinda visible in the image, though I’ll warn you there’s a bit of blood in this one. The doctor is pointing to how far into my foot it went.

I didn’t have high expectations for generating much buzz when open sourcing webernetes. It’s a hard-to-understand library for a niche use-case and hasn’t been proved out yet. But I’m wicked happy to see 6 people have forked it. Really excited to see if they submit some PRs! 😁
I've made a Kubernetes that runs in the browser, and today we're open sourcing it. The hope here is to make super interactive and visual web content about Kubernetes much easier to write, and we have a whole bunch planned this year. Repo: github.com/ngrok/webern... Demo: webernetes-demo.ngrok.app
Got this from an electrician who came to my house to diagnose a problem recently. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. (My “this is my day job” reply was in response to this guy saying to me “this is my day job” after I’d asked a bunch of questions about his diagnosis.)
Made the demo app for my Kubernetes-in-the-browser library more fun. All runs in the browser, no server-side stuff (you have to create images using a JS API I’ve made, they’re not real Docker images). Requests you see travelling between pods are actual traffic. Whole cluster can be paused.
Working on creating a demo visualisation of my Kubernetes cluster that runs in the browser. Just got network visualisation working. Each image is its own actual bit of running code using a fetch-like API to talk to other pods, and the network emits events when this happens.
They’re plugged into the outdoor sockets. I also noticed that the cables are so thick that the seal doesn’t close. Have contacted the folks who installed the aircon and they’re going to come back next week and see what they can do.
Bro I used to love my little punch label maker. Looked like a goddamn Beyblade.

Unrelated: this is a beautifully produced book. Only about 60 pages in but enjoying it so far.
