✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-07-19
Looking back at the week with an eye to the future.
(The elephant in the room is blue and it is a Friday when I write this update. So, I’ll update that topic in 🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday.)
I’ve committed to four events for the remainder of this year. I’ve also submitted a final version of a panel to PanelPicker for SXSW 2025 voting but I won’t be speaking on a panel but might submit a solo talk — maybe.
AI Field Day 5 in Silicon Valley September 11-12, 2024 for Tech Field Day
Monktoberfest in Portland October 2-4, 2024
Cloud Field Day 21 in Silicon Valley October 23-24, 2024 for Tech Field Day
All Things Open in Raleigh October 27-29, 2024 for CLS
SXSW in Austin March 7 - 15, 2025
This week, I continued the Hot Fudge Daily digest posted in 🌶️ Spicy Edition Sunday as “free” weekly content.

Next month, fudge.org Google Adsense goes live. Again, there will not be any annoying “please turn off your ad blocker” messages.
When I considered flattening hot.fudge.org newsletter via Buttondown it also occurred to me that I could write another newsletter too — possibly related to unicornjockeys.com or unicornjockey.com domains. However, it will need to be a deep niche and make a bigger splash to attract a following.
As fudge.org will be going through major revisions, this is a good time to think about changes. Again, we shall see.
Mastodon updates last week enabled a slightly different route for default.
So simple.
I think Buttondown supports code tags.
$ git diff -- app/controllers/auth/sessions_controller.rb
def home_paths(resource)
- paths = [about_path, '/explore']
+ paths = [about_path, '/about']
paths << short_account_path(username: resource.account) if single_user_mode? && resource.is_a?(User)
The result is /about vs. /explore which makes more sense for a single-user self-hosted instance.
I’ve been thinking more about using qthrul.com aka QTHRUL CORP as a holding. That would be a nice way to anchor all my other websites — including cuthrell.com, jaycuthrell.com, cuthrell.consulting, and maybe even fudge.org too.
