Notes

Todays the day, I’m trying to put a Noctua Fan in a wine fridge. Let’s see how this goes.

I don’t really know how or why. But for the last 5 years at least the profile picture of my 1password vault has been a meme image of Bones saying “he’s dead jim" and at this point it feels weird to change.

Goes online to see what a physical guide for FFV and FVI could cost:

Oh my fucking god.

Web react folks, how do ya’ll manage keyboard shortcuts in large sprawling react apps? There’s the basic tinykeys stuff, but do you just have a huge messy global file somewhere? Or is there a more elegant solution?

On the one hand very sad to not make @webstandards #SotB2025, on the other hand it’s because me and the bf are off to a forge in Gloucestershire to make a sword for our anniversary.

An entirely unjustified early anniversary present for us. But fuck me is this heavy enough to make us feel less guilty about the price.

Happy pancake day, the most important day in the British calendar 🥞

Lovely Only Connect final tonight. Some real great “proper only connect questions” where all the info is there in the question.

Well deserved win by the winnin team.

The gangs all here now. And current campaign is 3ish sessions away from finishing. Almost time to try DnD2024 in earnest.

Why have I been writing my own alias for git recent when it’s a config option?

This is great!

Internet, help me solve a mystery. For me the couple on Hitched is Gay, for my straight friend I sent it to they were straight.

The web person in me needs to know if they’re tracking for that.

Still waiting for an IM app like WhatsApp/signal/telegram to come up with a good solution for spoiler signalling, put me in a group chat with all my friends who’ve seen episode X of show Y

Doing some personal website updates and I always forget how much fun it is working with just html/css for projects.

Feels like going from using a band saw to hand whittling some wood.

I cannot wait to win a science victory with Ada Lovelace in the new Civ

Twice in the last 24 hours have I done a toot and ended up bumping into solid 100% cool web tech folks on mastodon, feels like the old days of Twitter. This place is great.

Web dev tools absolutely peaked in 2011. Was trying to help a colleague visualise how divs were placed in a webpage and immediately thought of this tool, but it was discontinued a long long time ago. 😢

@carol @sophie I haven’t been to a conference in so long and I don’t know what the cool kids are talking about these days

Web React people, has anyone used shadcn/ui in a production app? What was it like? And if not, if you were to start a new app with a react component library which would you use? #web #react

I’ve only just been told about PostHog and am already a total sucker for their tone of voice.

Their Fantasy or Taylor Swift Data Protection Agreement generator is just divine posthog.com/dpa
