The next few months mark a series of “10”s for me. On the 10th September, it will be 10 years since my Ph.D. viva. In November, it will be 10 years since I got my first lecturing position (TT Assistant Prof) at the University of Lincoln. It’s 10 years since I met Dr Caroline Edwards and we began publishing _Alluvium_ together. And it’s 10 years since we began planning the Open Library of Humanities. The times they are, as Dylan said, a-changing.
# Affect Theory To be blunt, the past two and a half years have been terrible for me. Certainly, [they have been worse for others](https://getevusheld.uk/4_patients.html). But I have spent the last two years feeling that basic activities in public pose an existential threat. The isolation of shielding is bad -- but I do have my lovely wife and our little dog, so I am fortunate in that respect.
If you can't login using the Lastpass CLI tool and it just says "unknown" when you enter your password, there's [a simple fix](https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/issues/604). Go to My Vault -> Account Settings. In there, press "Show Advanced Settings". Then set "Password Iterations" to 100100 and follow the procedure. After that, the CLI tool will work again!
What is "the scholarly record"? There is some work on this already.
My backup application, django-caretaker, has to reload the SQLite database after it has run the import procedure. Basically, we're using an external tool to recreate (delete and replace) the original SQL file on disk. But Django won't always reload this. There are three "gotchas" for how to handle this. The first is that you need a reload function.
There are several tutorials out there on how to get Django apps dockerized and deployed onto AWS Fargate.
Last weekend I converted my website hosting to an infrastructure-as-code solution. It's no big deal, I thought. It's just a static site so it must be really easy to provision this. Surely just some kind of AWS S3 bucket associated with a custom domain? I mean, generated static sites are great. They are fast, lightweight, and virtually un-hackable. Surely it must be easy to deploy this?
I don't normally do this kind of direct outreach, but the situation for people with serious immune system compromise at the moment in the UK is grim. We cannot produce responses to the covid vaccines and so remain shielding/in total isolation.
It should be an easy task to resize image uploads in Django, but it turns out to be a bit more complicated than one would hope. Here are my findings.
Evusheld is a combination of two long-acting antibodies (tixagevimab and cilgavimab). It's a drug designed to protect clinically vulnerable people against Covid in cases where vaccines don't work.
