The Week #46
by James- I've started using Gluon when using Micro.blog. The client is so fluid and smooth. I also really like that it displays my figure tags inline properly.
- Speaking of doing things properly, as a I ramp up for releasing a developer release of Tanzawa, I finally integrated a CI process into the repository. I also took the opportunity to fix the lint/typecheck errors that I'd let slide because I wasnโt running the suite manually.
- Leo's been trying really hard for the past couple of weeks, but he's transitioned to being in undies full-time! Since he's been wanting to get the Ikea t-rex and complete the collection, to celebrate we took him to Ikea to find t-rex. When we were walking around the store he kept calling "t-reeeeeeeeex" looking for him.
- In Japan Covid news this week theyโve finally approved Moderna and Az vaccines. Moderna is being used at the new Self Defense Force run mass inoculation sites in Tokyo, Osaka and other places as they ramp up. It has me feeling slightly positive that I may be able to get the vaccine this year.ย
- ย The government has set a goal of having the elderly finished inoculation by the end of July. I donโt think theyโre gonna make it because at least in Fujisawa, my father in law couldnโt get an appointment until August and my mother in law is still awaiting her voucher. Maybe this will change once more mass vaccination sites get running.

Re: Ode to my flip phone
by JamesReading Ode to my flip phone reminded me of Frank in You've Got Mail, singing the praises of his typewriter as everyone is getting computers and getting online. Society, for better or worse, has picked a new technological successor and the old ways โ your flip phone, your typewriter, will eventually disappear.
But this line โ this line hit me hard.And by privacy I donโt mean cookies or my Social Security number or whateverโI mean the fragile sphere of imagination in which I exist when Iโm not diddling about online. I mean whatโs left of my nondigital self. When I clack your two halves shut, you glorious techno-mollusk, thatโs it. Sauron cannot see me.

by JamesA bit worried I've spent so much time focusing on features in Tanzawa so I could get my blog off Wordpress that there's bugs in the non-happy paths. So I think my next focus is going increasing quality.ย
Finished the first s step: integrating my tox setup ( pytest, typecheck, and flake8 linting) into GitHub actions, so I can no longer merge if things are failing. Next step is to fix my typecheck errors and root out some bugs I've been running into recently (with tests!)
Once it's passing and the major bugs have been finished, I think I'm going to make a public release for developers / technically inclined people.
