My early morning walk finally yielded a wee photo opportunity.
I really like the re-design of kottke.org.
I finished flooring the last of the rooms yesterday. The wee yin is chuffed to bits with his bigger room. No more major home projects now until late autumn. Weekends are for golf now!
Back to Ikea this afternoon for the second time in a month. Picking up some furniture for the big yin’s room.
I like the Basecamp home screen updates, but it would nice to see logos on individual projects as well.
This post by Nikita Prokopov on JavaScript bloat in 2024 is interesting. Here are a few others that can be added to the list - Hey’s Imbox page (744 KB), Feedbin’s Unread page (1.67 MB), Basecamp’s logged-in home page (1.16 MB) and my own homepage (1.17 MB). Clearly, I can do better.
I picked the wrong time of year to do a major home project. I had to rest for a few days between flooring our three rooms as the lurgy had taken old. I returned to it last night and almost finished the second and largest of the three rooms. The final room will be done at the weekend.
First stage of our changing of rooms complete. My office is now upstairs and ready to go.
Going to floor the big yin’s new room over the next few days and then finish off the wee yin’s new room a few days after. Better rooms for everyone with more space for the boys.
Made a red velvet cake tonight using this BBC recipe. Disappointed that it looks more like a chocolate sponge than a red sponge.
I feel like I am in the minority on the influence of the Apple Vision Pro. While the technology is certainly a game changer, I can’t help think that this new generation of devices will close us off from the world even more. Well at least until they reduce the device to a simple pair of glasses.
