Oh Snap! Excited! I've been selected for a thing.

It's midnight over here, which means around 3 am in Pittsburgh (yikes if you're reading this right now).

Did you know that there is an "open space" in the PyCon US Online Platform which will include a couple of talks from some of the attendees?

Yup. Even me... I'm even interrupting my preparation just to tell you that!

Check out the online app starting at 10:30 am (local time in Pittsburgh) to check it out!

Okay, so you've seen the guides on what to do at PyCon.

But have you seen the guide for those of us that are not able to attend?

This is a little hard to write, but sadly, I'll be missing PyCon US this year. Long story short: I hurt my knee. Still on crutches. Surgery likely...

I came close to hopping (literally) on a plane and heading out anyway, but it's probably not the wisest choice.

For those of you heading out, enjoy the conference, meet someone new, volunteer, and have fun!

Maybe I'll catch you at the next one!

I didn't think I would write over 1800 words about my hurt knee, but here we are.

If you're in the mood for something entirely NOT python related, moody, melancholy, and maybe a little entertaining... check out my latest post at Python By Night. 😅

📺 I'm enjoying Dead Boy Detective as if I were a ghost that got bored haunting stuff and decided to binge watch some TV instead ... which is to say a lot. Glad I gave it a shot despite the odd premise...

Been slowly tinkering on a Litestar app I'm building just for the hell of it. My local amateur soccer league could really use a website, and I could also stand to learn a new web framework. (I mean, why not?)

While I've been plugging away at it (over-engineering and all), I decided to continue building in public.

Lots of fun stuff in here, but a pretty good "real world" use case for the PyHAT stack (htmx/Tailwind).

@talkpython Great article talking about how PDM handles lock files. Good explanation, even if you don't happen to use PDM.

I'm in the middle of a meeting where I should be paying attention, but here I am tooting about how hard it is to pay attention 🤔

Been having fun learning another web framework called Litestar, and it's pretty great. It already has a lot of htmx support built in (particularly around request and response helpers).

I decided to add Litestar support to jinja2-fragments, a little library that allows rendering of individual "blocks" from Jinja templates.

When returning a response, you can choose to send the entire template, or just one of the blocks contained within the template.

Happy New Year!

I decided to celebrate by writing a very, very late retrospective on 2023!

Hope to see you in 2024!

I wasn't going to do it... and then I was... and then I wasn't... and then I went ahead and submitted another tutorial proposal to @pycon

Let's see if I can make it three for three... 🤞

Saw this article and couldn't quite help myself...

@jonafato Hey Jon...so I took the weekend to think about going for a Python2Nite Live at PyCon next year based on what we were talking about on Friday.

I think I'm gonna go for it.

I don't know exactly what that means, just yet, but certainly liked the ideas we were throwing out last week.

I'm hoping you can help me soundboard some ideas and help with the CFP (and beyond, if reasonable), but also, no pressure either. I know you have a lot on your plate as well.
