I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
Triggering a Git commit from the server works. iOS workflow still on hold because of a bug. And desktop triggering almost there. This was easier then expected.
So close on a solution to combine Micropub posting with my Git workflow.
Testing MicroPub posting from the micro.blog iOS app.
One more test. Sorry. 🙄
No Time for Bullshit
Hi, I gave you a link to this page following a discussion we likely had. Consider this the end of my involvement in whatever topic we were discussing. One of the following likely happened. Please pick the one that seems most appropriate—or if you are so inclined the one that offends you most or least1.
- The discussion started meandering and I lost interest in discussing this any further.
- I just can’t deal with you anymore otherwise my blood pressure is going to kill me. And I don’t want that to happen.
- You obviously hold a belief that is too different from mine and the whole discussion is just getting tedious. I have no time for tedious if I can avoid it, which I hereby am.
- There’s a fine line between being a squeaky wheel and an annoying troll. Guess which side of the line I think you are on. Hint: I try to make it a habit of not feeding trolls.
- I don’t give a fuck.
Any of those sound like they might be it? Great. Consider this discussion over. If you want to you can tell all your friends that you won a discussion on the Internet. Congratulations. Here’s a cookie. Now, can we move on please? Thanks.

If this sounds very boilerplate, it’s because it is. I realised that I don’t feel like spending my life having pointless discussions. Now, what’s pointless to me might be entirely essential to you. But that is besides the point since I am choosing to end this discussion. ↩︎
I hate it when people argue with me about something I never said
Great start to the day. Wanting to tackle the project changes that accumulated during my downtime aaand…
I cannot find the change notes from the client… 😐
Way to stay organized Alex! sigh
In a waiting room. Again…
I’m getting tired of waiting rooms.
Testing Webmentions with Kirby’s Webmention plugin. Probably not going to work. Let’s see… Test 1
A cold is nothing to sneeze at.
A deer just bounced past us on our after lunch stroll. The perks of living on the countryside.
My BetterBack arrived yesterday and it is pretty great I must say. www.kickstarter.com/projects/…
Willow laughed for the first time. The first laugh has something magical.
Git Hooks and Merging Changes
Any Git experts around? I am trying to modify the way my site gets updated. Right now I am using a post-receive
hook to checkout the most recent commit. And that works great, but with the micro.blog iOS app I was thinking about using that for posting. Only problem is that this is not going to end up in my repo and is being overwritten with the post-receive hook every time I push something to the repo.
Right now I am using this hook:
#!/bin/sh
WEB_DIR=/home/user/public_html/pathtoblog
# remove any untracked files and directories
git --work-tree=${WEB_DIR} clean -fd
# force checkout of the latest deploy
git --work-tree=${WEB_DIR} checkout master --force
Is there a way to modify this so it does not clean WEB_DIR
but instead commit/merge any changes from WEB_DIR
before checkout?
Looks like I went to bed too late last night. So I’m calling it a day for today and am catching up on some rest
On my way to FMX. It looks to be a fun week. I hope to meet many old friends and colleagues and meet lots of new faces.
Interesting. A live connection between modo and other apps (working for Unreal at this point) is coming to modo 11.1 Push scenes wholesale back and forth including asset and geometry changes.
Sick in bed two days before I leave for FMX. Oh the joy.
Now that micro.blog is live I guess I need to get my Kirby site in order. The hosted version @Manton provides is nice, but ideally I’d like to run this via my own site. Man. There simply isn’t enough day in a day for all my goals.
It’s here and it’s gorgeous!
