Following some great comments from the upstreaming PR, there's a new django-tasks release! Featuring: - Python 3.13 support - Don't enforce UUIDs for task IDs - Rename "completed" to "succeeded" tasks - Simplify exception serializing for more coverage pypi.org/project/django…

No prizes for guessing when my backups run... (And by extension, the period of time my website was down because the server was too busy dealing with other things. Another job for the list)

It's been that kind of a week... Spending hours fighting with unit tests, only to reproduce it as an incredibly niche bug in Django 🙈 code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35967

It's new post day! ✨ theorangeone.net/posts/self-hos…

Apparently someone opened my website today using the Steam in-game overlay browser...

Excited to announce I'm running for the #Django 6.x Steering Council! 🥳

I voted ✅ in the Django Steering Council elections! The candidates this year are incredibly strong. Quite a few common themes in people's statements though. This is going to be an interesting few years for Django... djangoproject.com/weblog/2024/de…

My latest project: Putting ambient lighting behind my TV ✨ theorangeone.net/posts/wled-tv-…

My upcoming "2024 recap" post is currently weighing in at over 3000 words... This is turning into of the longest posts I've written in a long time!

Well, it's nearly the end of the year. I thought I'd try something new and look back on how it's been: theorangeone.net/posts/jake-vs-… #YearInReview

For possibly the last time this year, there's a new django-tasks release. Just a few bugfixes to end the year nicely. Go give it a try: pypi.org/project/django…

2024 is over. As is tradition, here's what my server looks like going into 2025: theorangeone.net/posts/state-of…

Recently discovered that I need to completely rewrite a personal project in the next 26 days since one of the core dependencies goes EoL...

First day back at work, and I was met with: - 1013 unread emails - 81 Slack notifications across 2 organisations - 631 system updates Happy 2025 to me!

And off they go - 2 CfPs submitted for DjangoCon Europe!

The latest version of Wagtail ships with `django-tasks` installed! 🥳 The first step in major adoption! wagtail.org/blog/wagtail-6… Go forth, and find all my bugs!

Turns out the famous Xiaomi BLE temperature sensors don't like being outside for over a year. In unrelated news, it appears I live in a kettle... 🥵

Sad to say I won't be at DjangoCon Europe this year 😭 It's 2 months away and the FOMO is already setting in. On the plus side, after much stress, I'll hopefully have recently completed on a house by then! 🥳 And I'm already working on some DjangoCon US ideas...

I wish I could get away with as informative updates as soundcore.

I'm done with Twitter. You can find me on the 🐘 or the 🦋 site! theorangeone.net/posts/im-done-…
