I've just dragged my ESLint config file into an old project and all I can see is red lines.
I've updated my Twitter profile. I'm hoping that I've made it obvious enough that I'm not using Twitter any more.
My mouse has a squeaky scroll wheel. It sounds like a mouse.
Taking a look at the Mammoth app on iOS. It’s very nice. I’ll probably use it for a while longer before deciding whether I prefer it to the official Mastodon client. I’ve been using the official client a lot and I think it’s also very nice. I guess it’s good to have options.
Off to the golf range later today, I think it's a male bonding session?! I don't play golf, so currently reading about golf balls. Apparently, golf balls used to be a hand-sewn round leather pouch stuffed with chicken or goose feathers and coated with paint, usually white in colour. Anyhow, anyone got any tips?
Taking a look at my old Google Reader export from ~2013 and a few things stand out. Firstly, there are very few HTTPS URLs. Secondly, I'm still interested in exactly the same topics. Lastly, many of the feeds simply don't exist anymore.
Looking at the new release of html5-boilerplate. I guess it can be used as some sort of weather beacon for the state of modern web development. github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/rele…
Listening to Linux Downtime episode 86 - the hosts have some interesting thoughts about nerd flex and programming languages. PHP gets a pretty rough ride, which I think can be attributed to the host's ignorance. Personally, I love PHP and I know there are many PHP developers out there who feel the same -- the PHP community on Mastodon is awesome.
Sometimes, when I lock and unlock my computer, only 2 of my 3 screens return/work. I have to repeat the procedure (lock and unlock) before all 3 return to a working state. Anyway, first day back at work after a long weekend. Sometimes it can take a while to get back into the swing of things, just like my monitors.
Taking a look at Thunderbird mail client. It's been a good few years since I've used Thunderbird and I'm loving the look and feel of Supernova. I can see me using this as my default mail client again.
Working on a website that will be 20 years old next month. TBH, it looks 20 years old and so does the code. Maybe I'll convince the owner to update/rewrite it at some point. That said, it works just fine, so I wouldn't blame them if they kept it as is for another 20 years.
Lincoln LUG haven't had any IRL meetings since before COVID, but we all still meet on Discord and say hi every day. I've simplified our website to reflect this: lincolnlug.org.uk
I love how the Mythic Beasts website uses a unicorn 🦄 for its favicon.
First domain transferred over to use Mythic Beasts nameservers, DNS and email. First time using their control panel and I'm pretty impressed with it. Will try and move another domain tonight.
Doing some digital housework, backing up old git repositories, removing long dead sites/domains etc. It's a little sad to see old projects being archived, but I learned long ago about how ephemeral these things can be.
Fixing another old site to run without errors under PHP 8.2. Mostly seeing notices about dynamic properties, so nothing too bad so far.
Playing with the Codeium VS Code extension. The AI code suggestions seem pretty good, but it's not overly quick and I'm not sure how useful I'd find it for real world use. I've uninstalled it for now, but may take another look at some point in the future.
Updating a PWA to include a Net Promoter Score input. I had no idea what a NPS was, so I'm educating myself with the help of Wikipedia. Apparently it's a market research metric used to predict business growth. It's a proprietary instrument (whatever that means) and there is a registered NPS trademark. It is also favoured by business types and criticised by academics who question its reliability as a tool to predict business growth. Hmm.
I created my Mythic Beasts account well over a month ago, but I haven't managed to move any domains across to it yet. Will try and rectify that this week.
Updating a PWA, I only tend to touch this app's code once or twice a year. It takes longer for me to re-familiarise myself with the code than it does to write the update.
Status Updates
I post status updates to my site and syndicate the updates as toots to Indieweb.Social, my chosen Mastodon instance.
Learn more about Mastodon and how it works.
