Woah! The #Sitecore community Slack has passed 10,000 members! Shout outs to Mark Cassidy, Jason Wilkerson, Kamruz Jaman, Marek Musielak, Tamas Tarnok, Akshay Sura, Michael West, and Mike Reynolds for all the efforts over the years to build up and manage the Slack community and create this place where people can get help at any time of the day from all around the world. Amazing milestone to achieve!
Ran a #dnd session for the kids today and had a blast with them! Youngest decided they wanted to build a cage to trap the enemies and then scare them into it and slam the door closed.
This is where you just say "rules away" and let awesome happen. I told them two full turns, with assistance, to build something basic. The first two rounds they hid and worked on it so others got to have fun, but in the end they got to have the big payoff and huge smiles!
There are two things I have always found challenging when building interconnected systems: time zones and caching! I found this article by David Austin that really dove into the caching layers in Vercel's Edge Cache and using the Cache-Control header to adjust.
"I feel like a lot of the ‘content’ we put into our messages is not actually about the core bullet points. It’s not about the crux of what we are saying or asking for. It’s about trying to create a sentiment and feeling for the reader that we can’t do with a simple list of bullets."
It's Sunday, so another audio version of the Thora Silentblade tale is out! In this final part of chapter 2, the crew gather to come up with a plan... a plan for revenge!
In this third part of chapter 2 of the Thora Silentblade series, the mysterious meeting in Wilted Gulch becomes a death trap for the would-be adventurers!
For the last 3 #dnd sessions, the kiddos have just explored town, going to new shops, reading the books they buy, and decorating and fixing up their home. The paladin hummingbird is using its magical warhammer to put nails in the shelves they are building to hold all the books. Questing? What's that? 🤣😂
"It seemed impossible, but Thora could swear that the sounds of battle were still somewhere in the air, as if very far away. There were screams and shrieks. Quiet, muffled, but there. The part of Thora that wanted to live was saying that friends needed help, that this was no time to be laying about. A mental image of drill sergeant Kalnok shouting “GET UP SOLDIER!” caused the dwarf to smile. Still, Thora’s feet kept walking toward that light."
" Light filled the cavern, brightly illuminating the strange-looking spider creature as they released a volley of arrows at it. Shrieking, the creature charged at them, many eyes reflecting the flames back at them as it closed the distance. Thora braced for the impact but suddenly the creature disappeared!"
The next chapter in my Thora Silentblade series is now available!
Today we're starting the next build: a #Lego Fender Stratocaster and amp! I am going to choose the red variant (black is also an option). Just over a thousand pieces for this one!
This was a big stage for the #Lego Fender Stratocaster as we built out the body, strap, knobs, tremolo, tuning pegs, and plating. Some nice branding work on here!
Finally got a chance to start in on the Fender amp portion of this #Lego build! Not sure what you call the coil mechanism at the bottom of the speaker frame?
What are folks thoughts on the new #dnd5e 3.0 module announced for #FoundryVTT alongside the WotC announcement? A patch came out in under 24 hours and quite a few new issues on the repo. Are folks waiting a bit for it to stabilize?
This is based purely on the title and image look and feel, this FEELS like the ones I'm seeing online from the 80s. But the 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1984 ones that I found have "Road" and "Atlas" on separate lines, stacked. It's only the newer ones (starting in the 90s) that seem to use them on a single line, but the style then is very different.
Last week I shared a recipe about how to design your #Sitecore XM Cloud components, but how do you build the components? This developer guide walks you through the cloning process and then making that component available to your site. Need to make it available in XM Cloud editor features? Wondering about headless variants? Or which JSS field is needed for a specific type of Sitecore field? Take a dive into this recipe!
"We might as well have loaded the cargo hold with explosives. But it explains a lot. Cicero’s been hiding his powers his whole life, getting to old age by avoiding being hunted down and used by the corporations. At some point, Cicero decided to infiltrate Hyperion and take it down from the inside as payback for all the pain and suffering brought upon Sirens by the corp.
Vengeance. I can understand that."
The next ECHO log from Jax's adventures in space is now live!
