Family guy and web developer

Skipping the golf today. The boys are going to the indoor studio instead for a hit. I think I’ll just potter about the house instead.

Raindrops on a window pane looking out to a garden.

Given the increasing use of portrait mode as dictated by mobile phone screens, I’m curious if I’ll ever get to the point in my web development career where I’ll have my desktop screens in portrait mode.

Once again I find myself scrambling about in my web history looking for a link that I read a few weeks ago but didn’t bookmark. 🤦‍♂️

Last night, I started adding a blog to my website. Managed to get a couple of test posts rendered.

It’s nothing fancy, just a bunch of markdown files picked up by Rails and rendered as HTML using RedCarpet and Tailwind Typography. Will polish it up tonight and start adding the RSS feed.

After a few days of the lurgy ripping through the house and taking everyone out, I think we’re all starting to turn the corner and get back to feeling better once again.

Added the standard light set from Game of Bricks to the Home Alone house. I’d say it worked out quite well!

The Home Alone Lego set illuminated on a small table.

I’m back to work this morning after a five-day weekend. I would usually feel recharged and raring to go, but a bug is working its way through the family. I hope that it misses me! 🤞🏻

It’s not often we get snow in this part of Scotland and very rare that we get it before Christmas.
