Maybe this will work on a different branch? IDK...

[oalders]

I pushed your branch to this repo and created a PR based on that. You can see it at #427. You can push to that branch if you like. Whatever works for you. At the very least, we'll have a preview shortly. 😄

@oalders Thank you

[ology]

@oalders I apologize for not following sane practices for naming my branch. It should have been something like ology/enhancing... :\

[oalders]

I'm just happy to get more quality content!

[ology]

I pushed to my ugly-named branch, but don't see the commit in either of the #426 or #427 PRs. I'm afraid I've done something wrong, yet again. :\

[ology]

No I see it! "Section" - Just hasn't been deployed I guess.

[jbarrett]

Hey folks, just a heads-up - it's a public holiday here at the moment, so I'm taking things a bit easier than usual.

I'll start on this by Wednesday, if that fits with the timelines. Cheers!

Not sure why, but the trial deployment link above, https://www-perl-com-pr-427.onrender.com/article/enhancing-your-midi-devices-round-ii/ is an old version. Not sure if I need to click a "Deploy!" link somewhere. Anyway, local hugo server --buildDrafts --buildFuture works! :D

[oalders]

The trial link is based off of a branch that I pushed to perladvent/perldotcom and you're currently pushing to https://github.com/ology/perldotcom/tree/EYMDRII, so the deployment is not aware of the changes. Not a big deal, though.

I am a dork. I can't believe I was employed to do technical things for as long as I was. (But unemployed now. Yay!)

[oalders]

Managing different git remotes can get confusing really quickly. 😄 I hope your job search is going well -- if you're searching.

[jbarrett]

Pretty succinct and easy to read - nice work! 👍🏻

I wonder if it's worth adding a short paragraph about your experience with the MIDI Rock joystick controller. Time to blow the dust off that controller sitting in your closet, give it a new lease of life with perl superpowers type angle.

[ology]

I have zero experience controlling my MIDI Rock.

FYI: I know how to push to the other PR now. Unfortunately, all my commits are for this PR and I want to keep them all in the same place.

[jbarrett]

I have zero experience controlling my MIDI Rock.

Does that matter? You don't need to go into the ins-and-outs, just that you picked it up again with this in mind. Anyway, just a thought...

Ok. Fair enough. If it makes the article more exciting, then so be it!

@oalders This appears to be ready to roll. :)

[jbarrett]

This looks good from my POV - thanks!

[oalders]

Thanks @ology and @jbarrett! I'm going to target a publish date in the week of March 31, but I will look at this well before then.

@ology the preview is now up to date: https://www-perl-com-pr-427.onrender.com/article/enhancing-your-midi-devices-round-ii/
