This post was meant to go out on the weekend, but I got sucked into video games, baking cookies, and, well, watching the Saints suck. I've mentioned this already I think, and I'm pretty sure I talked about it on my stream, but my anxiety which had taken a bit of a back seat for nearly a month has come raging back in. November is going to be kind of a crazy month for me - I've got two trips, six presentations total, and a major holiday. I'm also just a teeny bit worried about, oh you know, the entire country going to hell, but for today, today I'm just going to focus on tackling things one by one. And with that... your lnks.

Yesterday I blogged about a change I made to my bots page and in it, I mentioned how the performance wasn't necessarily as good as it could be. I had made the decision to go from server-side and build-time for the page to a purely client-side solution. At the end of the post, I asked folks to let me know if anyone would like to have me work on that performance issue, and, honestly, it kept popping up in my head so I figured I should tackle it. Before I begin talking about what I changed, let me review what I had done, and what the issues are.

I've got a few pages here that are primarily built for my own use. One of them, my bots page, is a list of all the dumbsuper useful bots I've built for Mastodon (and Bluesky). The idea on this page is to show the latest post from each bot. The bots page makes use of two different shortcodes written in Liquid to do this.

Yesterday, Elizabeth Siegle, a developer advocate for CLoudflare, showed off a really freaking cool demo making use of Cloudflare's Workers AI support. Her demo made use of WNBA stats to create a beautiful dashboard that's then enhanced with AI. You can find the demo here: https://wnba-analytics-ai-insights.streamlit.app/

Forgive the somewhat vague title, but I wanted to point folks to a series of articles I've had published on the Frontend Masters blog the past few weeks. I started writing for them recently, and while I note my "external writing" on my About page, I wanted to specifically call out this series. Over three articles, I discuss reading and writing to the clipboard with JavaScript as well as working with paste events:

Happy Sunday and Happy Saints Are Winning As I Write this day. Before I get into the links, some administrative. At the bottom of my posts, I've got share links. A few days ago I removed the share to Twitter link as I've gradually removed myself from that platform. I was on there a few weeks ago desperate for some technical help, but in general, I'm pretty much done with the platform. I've added a share to Bluesky (where you can find me as @raymondcamden.com) but unfortunately, it isn't quite working yet. I followed the directions for 'Action Intent Links', but even the example on their docs isn't working. I'm going to keep the share link for now, but may remove it. And now the Saints are losing. Sigh.
