My first tech blog post in ages is out, and I'm so happy with what I have to tell you. I got a Kubernetes-based Rails dev environment running on my laptop without running a single command as root... and I created a script so you can too! @fishpercolator/using-tilt-kubernetes-podman-to-get-a-dev-environment-on-silverblue-without-running-anything-1a6ef7de07ee" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@fishpercolato…

I'm excited to launch funetics: a free resource for phonetics & pronunciation. If you're a language learner or teacher, this is for you! The site will grow over the years to encompass more languages and more sounds. Check it out now at funetics.com

@ekoner @heycaseywattsup Yessss this is something I really want to add to @namedotpn when I have the chance! I'm really interested in personal experiences so any thoughts you have @heycaseywattsup that you're comfortable adding to github.com/fishpercolator… would be gratefully received!

Another diagram from my head! This one shows a lot of nuance about my gender: * Use he/him pronouns for me * Please don’t use she/her on me, I don’t like that * They/them is fine I guess, but since I prefer he/him, please use that instead

Happy #PronounsDay! Having an easy place to share one's pronouns (and pronunciation) is how name.pn got started. If you do sign up, I'd love to hear from you. Here's my name and pronouns: name.pn/quinn-daley/th…

This feature is live now! Head to the "Variants" section of your profile to add nicknames and other names you like or dislike. Feedback on new features is always welcome! My page: name.pn/quinn-daley

Never mind that it includes the usual oxymoron of "I found you on Google. Let me show you to make yourself visible on Google eh?"

I love this cold email so much. It's like they changed their marketing strategy halfway through writing it and just went "ah fuck it, that'll do".

Here's a sneak preview of a new feature coming soon in name.pn. Is your name David and you hate people calling you "Dave"? Is your name Kara but you would also love people to call you "Starbuck"?

Ahead of the #LGBTQ+ #Hack at #LeedsDigi21 we invited Quinn Daley (they/them) – @the_codersguild Coach, Managing Director @fishpercolator & Tech Lead at @CitizensAdvice – to the blog to unpack what working in #digital looks like for #trans people today 🏳️‍⚧️ bit.ly/BeingTransInDi…

Happy #nonbinaryday! To celebrate, I wrote the first ever name.pn newsletter! Check your email for it or read it online here: mailchi.mp/86ecf2774a31/i…

Exciting news! name.pn is now open source and we are working in the open with an open roadmap. Contributions of any kind are very welcome! You can read about contributing here: github.com/fishpercolator… And view our roadmap here: github.com/fishpercolator…

name.pn has always had its eye on more than just a web page. We want providers to use your profile to address you properly in their tech. To do this, we need an API... which I'm pleased to announce! Check out the interactive docs at name.pn/api-docs/

New! Some of you prefer not to record the pronunciation of your full name, so now you can choose which version of your name the recording is for! As always, any feedback on this feature is welcome!

Good news for people using their "one link" on Twitter and Instagram for their profiles. You can now add onward links to a "More about me" section at the end of your page, like this: name.pn/quinn-daley Let me know if you find this feature useful or any feedback!

🚨 name.pn has reached 500 users! 🚨 Thank you all for being early adopters! New stuff will be coming your way soon and you'll hear about it first on this Twitter.

Over three years ago I made my only contribution to Core @rails - the up_only method. I get to use it *all the time* and every time I get a little buzz. I hope it's been useful to others! #method-i-up_only" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Active…

@AlexBBrown @pedantic_git @inboxbygmail @gmail That sounds incredibly familiar!

I really really really miss the 'bundles' feature of @inboxbygmail, now that I only work at Fish Percolator one day a week more than ever. When they shut down Inbox they said this feature was coming to @gmail soon but no dice years later! How do you all organise your inboxes?

@IAmNotYetDead @inboxbygmail @gmail Yeah me too but I'm now only here once a week so it gets out of hand every Wednesday morning!

@IAmNotYetDead @inboxbygmail @gmail I use labels too but I really want to see "all of these emails still need your attention but they're basically all the same thing". Labels work up to about 15 or so at which point they visually overwhelm my inbox. If I archive them I forget about them as they're not in my inbox.
