I’m clearing the desk, sorting out notebooks, reviewing app subscriptions, getting a list of books to read and considering what to focus on for 2019. I’ve been all over the place the last few years, time for some deep focusing.
Got my own bookmarking app up and running on Heroku last night using Rails. It’s a simple affair with just the ability to add and edit bookmarks and navigate bookmarks by tags. I’ll be looking to open source it on Github over the holidays, once I’ve tidied up a few things.
I’m still not convinced that JavaScript is the way forward for web applications.

Spinning up another little greenfield Rails project. I was tempted to try another framework/language out for this, but I just want to get it done. So Rails it is then!
Instagram has been getting less appealing these days. The constant adverts on my timeline don’t help. I didn’t get many for such a long time and then all of a sudden a flurry of them. Maybe it’s a good thing and will keep me of it for a bit.

Am I the only one who had higher expectations for this release of Firefox? It is the 64-bit version after all. Multiple tab selections you say? I’ll take it!
A fascinating and in-depth look at the typesets and other inspirations for the WALL-E movie. This being a favourite movie of mine, I had to recommend this. A lengthy read, but definitely worth taking the time out for.
Voyager 2 has officially entered interstellar space. The distances still boggle my mind.
Putting the finishing touches on a new website I’ll be lauching during the week. Great to be using Jekyll and Netlify for this.
