After 2½ years, I’ve released a small update to pg_search. Version 2.3.7 adds support for Active Record 7.2 and various other small changes.

I’ll probably release another version soon to add support for composite primary keys, a new Active Record 7.2 feature.

I’m in Dubai 🇦🇪 for a quick layover on my way to Bangalore 🇮🇳 for a work trip.

Dubai has a silent airport. There are no announcements. But I did just hear a muezzin call playing for the daily dhuhr prayer.

We can have a different web:

Many yearn for the “good old days” of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

For my birthday, Vanessa got me a CD that I’ve been wanting for a long time. I came across it years ago and regretted not grabbing a copy. Yes, that is the cat cartoon character better known from his appearance on Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract”. 🐱 🎤

Elixir yak-shaving

I’ve finally decided to look into Elixir. I know I will love it! I have started doing the Elixir Koans

But the yak-shaving has already taken over. I haven’t even completed the first koan yet. Instead, I have:

• Made a pull request to update a link on the Elixir homepage pointing to a site taken over by spam.
• Noticed that I don’t have a good editor for Elixir
• Decided to try out Neovim as a replacement for my Vim setup
• Discovered Kitty and started trying it out as a replacement for Terminal.app (at home) and iTerm (at work)

But I’m having fun! And I will have some free time next week to dig deeper into all of these things.

RIP Bram Moolenaar

Bram created vim which is a terminal-based text editor so good that it comes preinstalled on every Mac and nearly every server. I use it everyday.
