“Raw data is both an oxymoron and a bad idea; to the contrary, data should be cooked with care.”—Geoffrey Bowker

Work, carnival, and some progress on my side projects. Finally managed to try out the cool new openpodcast stack for podcast analytics. Hmm, first I have to find a way to get it to work with postgres instead of MySQL. Looking forward to shooting some pictures again, since I forgot the charging cable for my camera two months ago and now got it back 📸.

django-cast release 0.2.6:

• Got codecov.io to show 100% coverage (fixed the GitHub action submitting the coverage results)
• The release of django-crispy-forms broke tests and comments and stuff -> I was able to fix it after reading the migration guide
• Documentation for Pagination

homepage / python-podcast:

• Tuned down traces/performance metrics for sentry
• Fixed date facets breaking out of the form-control container for python-podcast.de

kptncook:

• Worked a little bit on a cool PR adding Paprika export for kptncook by Dorthe Luebbert

• People who prefer ketchup over mustard are annoying because as soon as you say you like mustard, they go on and on about how much they hate it. Like, okay. You have the same flavor palette you had when you were 5 but that doesn’t mean you should insult what I put in my coffee.
