Some patsy cline came to my Spotify the other day and it was great. So much talent lost early back in those days.

My sister works at save on foods, and she said people all day were coming in and wanting to only buy Canadian products.

It’s end of days for the USA. They basically have no credibility left. They just elected a convicted felon who is threatening to physical take over several nato members using Putin’s playbook.

There was an old paella guy on TV in Valencia. And someone asked him his secret for why his paella was so good. His answer:

“Practice”

Yah, people just have to try and iterate!

Yes that’s right. So one person I know now has like 50 repositories being managed on their own site using the Author plugin. It generates an api the repo uses to update, and updaters can use it too.

I almost have it working. It doesn’t depend on the repo at all. It’s done on the authors service for the generation and on the client side for the verification.

They can already submit it. JuniperAuthor becomes the update server for it and extracts all the information form GitHub and the plugin and theme header files.

It prevents someone hacking into GitHub (or using the author credentials) and changing the zips. They would need access to the private key too for the signing, which they don’t have.

It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
