Working on contours using a modified version of the vectorvector application by @dgreen

Today I’m launching Epic Ride Weather Events: a new platform where endurance event organizers can create public event pages with route-aware race-day weather forecasts.
Better prep for participants. Better promotion for organizers.

Appointment at @LifeLabs apparently is meaningless. Wait time of 45 minutes with appointment should not be acceptable business practice!

We’ve started deploying changes to Amazon S3 to make unauthorized requests with certain error codes which were not initiated by you to be free of charge. This change covers a range of HTTP 3xx/4xx status codes. It will take a few weeks for the roll out to complete in all #AWS Regions.
For more details check out aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wha…

Update: S3 engineers are working to make unauthorized requests that customers did not initiate free of charge.
This change will cover a range of HTTP 3xx/4xx status codes, including all of those cited in the article. We're moving quickly and we plan to share more details this week.

Just gave my boy a pep talk that ended with something like "You are the one that gets to decide. You choose what to do next." Isn't that what we all need?

We say that tests are flakey when they sometimes fail. The assumption is that it's meaningful when they pass. What if they're flakey when they pass? 🙀 #softwaredevelopment #testing
