My MO is starting a blog post about one thing and having it be mostly about another thing about halfway through. Then I have to mess with the title so it sort of, kind of, hangs together.

An interview with Ruby creator Yukihiro Matsumoto - Evrone https://evrone.com/yukihiro-matsumoto-interview

I had a 'free' Google Cloud Platform VPS, and while the server was running, I didn't have a domain pointing at it. Google started charging me anyway, and I couldn't figure out why from the billing. I stopped the server. Maybe AWS or Azure do their 'free' tier better.

I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community, and the installer DOESN'T drop a shortcut on the desktop. I don't recall the installer asking about it.

Ever since an in-place upgrade to Debian Buster, my Raspberry Pi has been losing its network connection about once a day. I'm too lazy to reinstall the OS, so I set cron to reboot twice a day.

FlatLaf Dark look and feel in @netbeans is really nice

I'm testing @netbeans and tweeting about it to take my mind off of all that's going on. Not working too well, but there it is.

I am working a split shift so I'll be in the chair later for protest/riot coverage across LA. I try really hard not to get political on Twitter because of what I do. The division, inequality and lack of leadership in this nation have led to this, and I'm sad to see it.

First JavaFX works out of the box in the @apache @netbeans daily build, and now C++ (with a Netbeans 8.2 plugin) also works. Amazing progress. https://netbeans.apache.org/

I just downloaded a daily build of @netbeans, and I am very happy to say that I was able to start, build and run a JavaFX project with no issues. Thank you to all developers working on the IDE.

The @OpenBeans build of @NetBeans includes bundled JavaFX libraries, C/C++ support and online Maven support. Thanks @emilianbold. http://www.openbeans.org/comparison.html

We are very lucky to have @debian. Thank you to all who put it together.
