If your “podcast” is only available directly on your website, or via your app, and doesn’t have a feed I can put into my preferred player (even if it’s password protected), then it’s not a podcast. This is an unimportant thing I have strong feelings about.
Hello, my name is Stephen Rushe and I drink tea, love cats, and provide sarcasm-as-a-service. I’m also responsible for Cricsheet, a project to provide ball-by-ball data for cricket.

Hello @github 👋 Hello @natfriedman 👋 Last night I started a new personal project, went to push it to a repo, and then remembered that you still work with ICE. I created the new repo in GitLab. I’ll probably create all new repos there from now on.
-
My regular morning check shows I’ve still received no response from @github or @natfriedman to my ICE question. Good thing I spend some time last night playing with @gitlab. It’s noticeably slower than GitHub, but it’s doesn’t work with ICE (that I know of) so I’m fine with that.

Nice of @github to prove that they do know how to email me by getting in touch about their livestream later today. Maybe @natfriedman could get someone to use that email address to actually reply to my original message about ICE that I’m still waiting on a response to 5 weeks later.
Seeing as the only ICE @natfriedman wants to talk about is his ice cave I’ve started making lists of things I need to do in order to move my stuff from @github. Sad that it’s come to this, but it will be technically interesting and I’ll feel better I suppose.

29 days since I first contacted @github support about the ICE contract, and not a peep in reply to that or my follow-up email. Management really are just hoping that if they ignore the criticism it will just go away.

Continuing my recent theme of releasing software I’ve just opened up Babbas (https://github.com/srushe/babbas) which powers my Indieweb Micropub media endpoint for my site. It’s a ruby Sinatra app that I’ve been using for the last year.

Still waiting on @github to get back to me after contacting them about the ICE contract. Lots of good people in that company are being badly let down by how this is being handled. Looks like I am going to have to investigate hosting my own repositories again.

I forgot to mention that I released a new indieweb ruby gem yesterday, indieweb-authorship (https://rubygems.org/gems/indieweb-authorship), an attempt to implement the Authorship algorithm (https://indieweb.org/authorship). I use it for webmentions, and it seems to be doing the needful so far.

Haven’t seen one of the neighbours cats in a few weeks, and was getting worried for her. Sitting at the desk this morning I hear meowing, look out, and see her sitting on the wall opposite looking to get in. Haven’t been this relieved in a while. Don’t even know her real name.

Yes, the Yago bout in particular, but pretty much any Enho win is a joy to watch.

You can be 70 kilograms heavier, many inches taller, and have Enho in a headlock, but all you’ve done is possibly set yourself up for defeat. I love watching Enho at the #sumo
