Dad’s woodworking shed.
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?
Listening to What's New in AI for Web Developers — Syntax Podcast 681. syntax.fm/show/681/what-s-new-in-ai-fo…
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.
Creating a folksonomy editor, which is fine, except my brain refuses to let me type 'folksonomy' quickly.
Sunday night and Becky is selling contraband on some far off planet (Starfield), whilst I’m inspecting my todo list for next week.
Needed to quickly crop an image (I didn't fancy opening Gimp just to crop an image) and figured there had to be an app for that on Flathub. Found Avvie and it does just that. flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.github.taik…
I'm testing a function that caches favicons, so I went looking for a website that doesn't have a favicon (more difficult than expected) and the first site I stumbled across was this beauty! www.arngren.net
Playing around with creating a Chrome browser extension to work with my personal website. I thought there might be more hoop jumping involved, but it's been relatively easy to get something up and running quickly. I'm not using Firefox at the moment (due to it crashing my Debian boxes), but I might have a crack at that next.
I've created an account with Mythic Beasts. I just need to make a plan for moving a bunch of sites over to their servers. I'm thinking that I'll start with a test domain so that I can orientate myself with their systems.
ChatGPT is my new regular expression go-to buddy.
