Updating some footer content in an old website and it has a fax number in it. Cute.
Starting my day with some server updates, then I have some technical debt to sort out. The technical debt used to originate from my predecessor, but after 10+ years, most of it originates from me. I guess that's the way of things.
Turning off 'Git: Enable Smart Commit' setting in Visual Studio Code as it's caught me out a couple of times. Grr.
Mixing it up this morning. Showed a support engineer how to boot a borked laptop. Offered to rip some old network cables out of a wall. Sometimes it's good to get your hands dirty.

I have a Mailchimp integration to do today. The Mailchimp API docs are pretty good, so it shouldn't take too long.
Sunday evening and Becky is planet hopping in Starfield again, whilst I queue up some podcasts for my journeys into work next week. I’ve just subscribed to the Fedora Project Podcast and I’m interested to give it a listen.
Select, animate,
DOM dances to your tune,
jQuery, my friend.

My Google Chrome has just received the 2023 refresh/face-lift. Chrome isn't my first choice of browser, but I do like the new look. Anyhow, it's Friday night and Becky is playing Hogwarts Legacy whilst I'm messing around with some CSS. Rock 'n' roll.
To CSS normalise or reset? That is the question.
This morning, I'm going to continue working on the encrypted notes app that I started yesterday. The plan for this afternoon is to look at an old CodeIgniter 2 application to see how feasible it is to update it to CI4.
Listening to Untitled Linux Show 123: Meatball Over the Plate.
Working on an encrypted notes app. I'm not rolling my own encryption algorithm, because that would be bonkers. Also, don't all note apps use encryption these days?

Working on a digital signage display that pulls solar power data via an API and displays the data in way that a 5 year old should be able to understand.
Tapping 3 fingers on my touchpad triggers middle-click paste. This can be a real pain in the arse when I'm using 3 finger swipe gestures on my laptop -- I often find random shit being pasted into my code editor.
Listening to Late Night Linux (Episode 251) and thinking about getting another ThinkPad.
Looking at replacing a crusty old PHP PDF library with Puppeteer. Should be a fun morning.
