I’M OUT OF COFFEE! #CRISIS #ALLCAPSJUSTIFIED
On my way!
@fultonbeer: Tapping a new beer at 3 today: The Ringer! It’s a session-style American Pale Ale with big hop aroma & flavor.
I have, very nice!
@MetroTransitMN: Have you enrolled in Auto Refill yet? Get Auto Refill & never run out of fares.
May have to drive tomorrow instead of MetroTransit just to stop at Urban Bean Coffee on the way in.
I need to get myself to a Chemical Brothers show. If only there was one to go to. Watching Don’t Think is no substitute.
Travels to Iceland
My friend Dennys Bisogno just self-published a photo book on a trip that he and my other friend Steve LeVahn took to Iceland. It’s a free book in iTunes. Download it and take a look! Wonderful photos and a great virtual trip to Iceland await you. The book is called “My Travels to Iceland”.
I hope to join them on a future trip to Iceland, hopefully with our other friend Layne Kennedy as well!
Going to stop for some New Glarus’ Wisconsin Belgian Red before we leave Wisconsin.
Crazy good macchiato at Johnson Public House!
And the 2nd macchiato is just as good.
Having a 3rd macchiato. That good.

Tyler can now climb out of his Pack-n-Play. This is not a welcome development.
Enjoying a Hopalicious at The Green Owl Cafe in Madison. Minneapolis needs a place like Green Owl!
Delicious macchiato at Bradbury’s in Madison. Definitely real deal.
Macchiato report from Barriques in Madison. Okay, slightly above average.
Agree.
@jdludlow: Ah crap. April Fools Day is almost here already? If you’re “hilarious” and have a website, keep it to yourself ok?
Driving out of town with American Pie by Don McLean playing! 🎶
Infinite scroll is torture for OCD types like me. You can never finish!
MediaWiki Template Get Hostname
I was working on a template for one my personal wikis and needed to get the hostname for a given URL. Using the capabilities of the Parser Functions extension for MediaWiki I whipped up this template. I figured others may find this useful so here it is. The first version has a bunch of spaces and newlines added to make it more readable.
{{#vardefine: hoststart | {{#expr: {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | // }} + 2 }} }}
{{#vardefine: hostend | {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | / | {{#expr: {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | // }} + 2 }} }} }}
{{#vardefine: hostlen | {{#expr: {{#var: hostend }} - {{#var: hoststart }} }} }}
{{#sub: {{{1|}}} | {{#var: hoststart}} | {{#var: hostlen}} }}
To put it in your own MediaWiki, copy this version that removes the spaces and newlines.
To use this template put it on a page like
Template:Get hostname and then call it in your
pages as
{{Get hostname|https://www.thingelstad.com/another-reason-you-need-to-use-a-password-manager/}}
which will return www.thingelstad.com.
