It wasn’t anything fancy, but when you’re the IT guy in your day job and working a part-time job outside your field, you eventually end up lending a hand where you can.

I take JSON.dumps every day. The words of wisdom during DevOps meetings.
I had a project that worked with the SessionState and run spaces. The fancy $script:var and $using:var helped manage the state of a variable set at the global level. The ForEach-Object -Parallel creates a new run space for each object as well to manage.
Plop in Automation 2.0. An update to how I automate my new blog post creation process by reading the post front matter to build my possible tag list.

I would think it would work as you have it as well with the macro defined outside the loop, but I haven't used macros myself. Something to look into for sure, I didn't know this was a thing.
I did find this link that puts the macro in its own nunjucks file to make it an included component and more "function" like in the process.

Is this an 11ty thing or Nunjucks?
Does the macro need to be within the loop, or could it be declared outside the loop and referenced inside?
That's a lot of community plugins too. It would be great if they were grouped by types and filterable as well. Kinda got lost in the list, but also saw some great things too.
Have @zachleat.com do this now while we're in the meetup. 😆
On the 11ty Plugin page is a great spot as well.
@davidmoll.net you should reach out to Umami to see if you can add your 11ty plugin on their website: umami.is/docs/integra...

What a job... I get to build and play with servers, OS's and get paid for it. Building a Windows Server 2025 right now just to see how it works and what changes need to be made to our automatons.
Plus get to build Linux boxes all day long as well. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Finally finished a #blog post on #powershell and the usage of the try/catch blocks. Once I began using them over traditional if/else blocks, its been a game changer in error handling.

It's always DNS, even when it's not.
How I used #powershell to check my #dns based on the cached TTL so I didn't have to keep banging on the keyboard and can see what time the change was reflected.

Wrote about a simple way to check for required environment variables in a Node.js project. Something that helped me, hope it helps you too.

I’ve been making web things for awhile too! Recently just launched Static.Quest https://static.quest/
I did a thing and updated my website to #11ty v3.0 finally. Not sure why it took so long. The build time, makes up for the delay in upgrading.

Ah, I primarily use the Graysky app. Should see if the web app shows it.
