Oh, wait, technically the Hives are the integrations and the Bees are the individual configurations you set up. And then Chains are what knits the Bees into workflows. Or something. :)

So far it has some good aspects, like a large number of "Bees" (aka Integrations). But I'm not a fan of the configuration file storing passwords in plaintext. And it would be nice if the "chains" (connecting bees together) could be editable via the web. Of course, it's open source, so I could dabble in a bit of Go to contribute improvements.

Learning how to configure "Beehive", a self-hosted Zapier/IFTTT style tool. Sorry for the tootflood, I was setting up an RSS-to-Mastodon chain as the first test.

Okay, I'll grant that - technically speaking - the value '0000-00-00 00:00:00' isn't a valid date. I would counter-argue that perhaps when your system attempts to *autodetect* field types from the first inserted record, maybe it should accept that as a date? Otherwise, it should at least accept '0000-01-01 00:00:00' as a valid date, right?

Noting it here so I don't forget about it. The trick to a recursive macro in Twig 2:

```
{% macro myMacro(...) %}
{% import _self as macros %}
{{ macros.myMacro(...) }}
{% endmacro %}
```

As defined, it's infinite, so you'll want to add your own depth check/termination condition.

Signs I need to go to bed: I just pushed to a branch named "yeet-me-to-the-moonmoon".

@brianfenton ... with an entire campaign around the slogan "I am in Communicado".

@brianfenton Now I'm tempted to start a social communication service called Communicado. Too bad the dot com is taken.

Current status: doing fun things with ReactHttpServer in Sculpin ...

There we go, moved all of my social media tabs to Firefox. Hopefully it can handle all of them without falling over. (FB/Insta aren't in the mix, so it should be fine)

Looks like this could help: https://packagist.org/packages/vanderlee/php-stable-sort-functions

Er, I think I actually mean when used in conjunction with uasort().

If I'm reading things correctly, strnatcmp and strnatcasecmp have "undefined" behaviour for sorting things that are equal. Is there any way to do the same sort of sorting, but ... preserve the existing order of equal items?

So here's a thing I did tonight: I shipped #Sculpin3 https://blog.sculpin.io/2019/04/10/sculpin-3-is-here/ #php

I should probably post this here - after all, if anything is going to go "toot", it'd be a tugboat. #photos #flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/beryllium/46729130884/in/dateposted/
