Morning Dew Break Coming Up Next Week

The daily Dew Drop posts will be taking a break for about a week and a half. I’m taking some personal time off and unplugging after Friday. So, there will be no daily links from Monday, October 21st through Wednesday, October 30th.

I should be back on the 31st, but I won’t be including most of the blog posts that folks share in that time in-between. If there are any major announcements from Microsoft and other “companies of interest”, I’ll flag those to be included upon my return.

I’m also experimenting with migrating from WordPress to a static site, and I’d like to bring my 4800+ blog posts along with me. If you have any recommendations for static site generators that can build sites of that size without memory heap issues in JavaScript, give me a heads-up. My brief experimentation with Astro didn’t go well. See this GitHub issue for others running into a similar problem. I ran into the issue on Netlify, GitHub Actions, and when building the prod site locally (even with NODE_OPTIONS=–max_old_space_size=8192 set).

Thanks for continuing to follow the daily links on the Morning Dew. We’re coming up to 17 years of sharing links in early November. Cheers!

Get Daily Links in Your Inbox – Daily Dew Drop Newsletter

Some of you have been email subscribers to the Morning Dew in the past via Feedburner. Now that Feedburner is in maintenance mode and no longer supports its newsletter feature, I have moved my email subscriptions to Revue.

Revue doesn’t offer the same direct RSS consumption to deliver each Dew Drop post as you would find it on here, so the format is slightly different. Each daily issue will contain links to the previous day’s Top Links and a link to the current Dew Drop post here.

If you would like to sign up, there is a signup widget on the sidebar of my blog, or you can subscribe on my Revue home page. There is no cost to sign up and you can unsubscribe at any time with no future emails, ever. Everyone from my Feedburner email list was migrated to the Revue list. If you were part of that list, you can also unsubscribe at any time.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Cheers!
