So today in side project , I decided I was going to get back to writing an Elm-based web app to wrap my Elixir-based API.

As I usually do, I updated Erlang, updated Elixir then updated . Well wasn’t that the big mistake.

Seems that Elm moves to 0.19 in late August and there were a few breaking changes. Got a lot of things working, but eventually gave up and reverted to 0.18 out of frustration and the realisation that there’s no good 0.19 examples out there yet.

announcement - there is now an @admin account on the server that will be the default follow for all new users. We'll use the @admin account to announce changes to the server, and any planned maintenance for downtime, etc.

We'll also endeavour to use the hashtag to that you can create a list just for tracking such announcements.

There might be a dancer inside this Sean Walsh guy, but it’s wrapped up in a Keith Lemon.

Newcomers to nitech.social specifically and Mastodon in general, if you’re looking for a desktop client that isn’t the web interface, have a look at whalebird.org

While we were creating this instance I ended up typing `nitech` a lot. I also watched Office Space.

Now I can't see us as anything but INITECH.
