Setup Matters

Welcome to the first WiX Online Meeting of Northern Hemisphere Spring 2019! Today we enjoy the dulcet sounds of leaf blowers cleaning up the detritus of fall.

Though I personally prefer 24-hour clocks and little-endian day-month-year formats, it's hard to resist the nerdy joy inherent in the date 3/14 at 1:59PM. I might say it's just me but it's not just me -- Pi Day is a real thing, even just for other nerds. Anyway, enjoy the day even if contains no pies, pizza, or calzones (technically still pies).

It's been almost a month since our last meeting, as we accommodated Rob's absence two weeks ago by not having a meeting. However, our next scheduled meeting is scheduled for 14-March, or in the United States, 3/14—also known as Pi Day. We encourage everyone to attend live; virtual pi will be provided.

Your humble correspondent sits in the middle of the current polar vortex, overclocking his CPUs to huddle over for warmth, his typing slowed down by the thick mittens, but happy that the WiX Online Meetings are, in fact, online and he can stay indoors and still triage WiX bugs.

The US federal government is partially shut down, but the WiX Online Meetings continue apace. Open-source developers are used to working without getting paid.

Today's WiX Online Meeting is the first in 2019. So far, 2019 is feeling a lot like 2018 but we hope that will improve as 2019 matures.
