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.

Anyway, it’s good to have bigredtin.com back online, a (very out of date) blog @sealfur and I wrote a few years ago.

Specificity, My Old Nemesis, We Meet Again.

Hands down, my favourite feature hack of any application is Shifty Jelly’s Pocket Weather using notification badges to show the current temperature. I’m not sure what happens when the temp drops to freezing or below.
