Archives: Notes

  • As someone with an minor but ongoing medical condition, I was onboard with My Health Record until I learnt HealthEngine was one of their partners. Now, not so much.

  • ⚪ Tabs
    ⚪ Spaces
    ⚪ .editorconfig
    ⚪ CI to resolve CS violations

  • I need to write up how I over engineered a site that sometimes gets over a dozen visitors a day. (Most to a post I wrote in 2011)

  • A few of us are making musical theatre puns in work’s slack (I didn’t start it) and now 90% of people are logged out.

  • I’d love to know the average time on page for the CSS-Tricks and MDN guides to CSS Grid. Often I have one or the other open in a tab for hours on end.

  • Fun meta tag to put in static websites:

    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 0.7" />
  • It’s not as cool as CSS Grid but I I think logical properties and values (margin-inline-start, float: start, etc) will be game changers once the spec comes out of draft.

  • Fortunately it’s not im□ortant but □h□storm has lost the ability to dis□lay the character □. I can’t see that being a □roblem as I attem□t to develo□ Word□ress □rojects for my □aycheque.

  • Mark Latham’s bitterness is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined.

  • Spent yesterday resurrecting a site from the wayback machine. It works but I don’t recommend it as a hobby.

    Anyway, it’s good to have bigredtin.com back online, a (very out of date) blog @sealfur and I wrote a few years ago.
