davemateer.com/2023/06/29/twe… What can you (not) do with the new Twitter API?! Fun to explore the current state of play, and did you know you can do a 10,000 character tweet (for paid subscribers)

@dave_mateer But was that too?

Hello Twitter

@firstdrafthell Patrik- I feel your pain! Rolled my own and blogged about it years ago (blogs still not published). Happy to share code if you want

Why is auth in ASPNET Core such a horrible experience? I'm 10 seconds away from creating a user table and just storing the state in a session.

@firstdrafthell Just finishing a build this week. About £1000. davemateer.com/2023/04/29/dev… lots of pics at the bottom! 13600k and 64gb ddrr4 and 2gb m.2. Air cooler.

Thinking of building myself a new computer, but I'm completely out of touch. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Some amazing initial results from our tree camera traps in Zambia - a beautiful bushbaby! @SussexBiology @SussexLifeSci #fieldwork #biodiversity #conservation @MathewsFiona @CalaCastellanos @BronwenHunter

@madSimonJ @CodeClub Nice one Simon!!! I love seeing the enthusiasm and remember the joy of getting computers to do something eg 10 print “Dave is awesome”

First @CodeClub session today at my local school. I did a bit of a silly intro to myself and computing in general, then we started doing a bit of code. Nothing much this time, mostly the difference between a function and a variable. The kids seemed to really enjoy it :)

I wrote an article for #urlbox on taking screenshots with Python. After years of doing it myself, I appreciate how hard it is to get right! urlbox.io/html-to-png-wi…

@madSimonJ @CodeClub Thanks! It was great to see the enthusiasm of kids. I've made some notes here davemateer.com/2023/02/23/cod… Feel free to get in touch (I found setting up accounts on scratch mit to be tricky, and still not sure if I'm doing it right)

@dave_mateer @CodeClub Fantastic! I'm looking forward to starting up myself. It's just a few weeks away now

@madSimonJ did our first code club today at school. 6 kids in year 4 and 5. It was brilliant. So much enthusiasm for programming. Did half of scratch project 1 Thank you @codeclub codeclub.org/en/

@LEGOEngineering asyncapi.net seems to have problems responding for me.

Exciting news! 🚀 Our AsyncAPI.NET project has just gone #opensource. The library seeks to become the standard in how to read and write #asyncapi specifications, within the dotnet ecosystem. Get started today and join the community over at github.com/LEGO/AsyncAPI.…

@madSimonJ I’m about to start one too at local primary school. We may use codeclub.org/en/. Having meeting tomorrow about it

I've hopefully got a fun new opportunity coming up. My local primary school would like me to help run a coding club. Thats a whole new generation I get to bore with endless talk of code!
