😭🤬 bad code is bad 😩
I really like this game. Had a rough start and didn’t get it at first. Then tried it again sitting on a plane with nowhere to go. Now I can’t put it down.
Cheese and crackers! May Standard 11 was a great puzzle!
I got it in 04:02.

This morning I quickly set up an installation of FreshRSS to manage my RSS subscriptions. It syncs every 10 minutes on the server so my client (Reeder 5 on iOS) does not have to do the heavy lifting as it was always very slow. Its great now
I’ve listened to the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album for a few times now. It feels good to her Frusciante’s voice and guitar playing. It was missed. There are a few songs that stick with me after the album ends. Sadly, it’s not great. But maybe that was too much to ask for.
Riding on Zwift (aka commuting to the wfh office) and reading @manton’s book (at book.micro.blog) on microblogging and the open web. 🥳
Staubsaugerroboter sind gar keine Roboter, sondern Saugetiere.
I just signed the web0 manifesto and you can too!
I brought an external display to my new desk in setting.io’s office. I really dig the change of scenery and having an optional commute again.
My micro.blog timeline is pretty empty during the day as I mostly follow people from US timezones.
I just spent more than 60 minutes reading up on Arel and trying a bunch of different things just to learn that it won’t work. So back to writing ugly SQL strings. Too bad.
Spatial audio with AirPods Pro when listening to music on my laptop is really confusing sometimes. After moving my head I wanted to make sure that the sound doesn’t come from the laptop’s speakers and indeed from the headphones. It appeared to come from the laptop. Crazy.
Well this is confusing. I am a web developer and still have trouble getting this sorted. I want to:
- Publish and create microposts on my wordpress site
- I want these posts to appear in my micro.blog timeline
- I want to crosspost my entries to Twitter
- I do not need a custom domain name for my Micro.blog updates
I read the help section. I created a category on my wordpress and could post from the IOS app to wordpress. The posts do not appear in my Micro.blog timeline.
What do I need to do differently @manton?
I just read Paul Jarvis‘ latest email mailchi.mp/pjrvs/own… Now I am (again) motivated to turn away from platforms, switch to Linux and own everything I use. He’s very motivating in how he writes. So where to start?
On my way to Leipzig by train. Once I get there I will head back to Berlin. On my bike. I heard someone call this nonsense 🤣
Using css modules the right way, I got it to work. 🎉 In the end I had some naming clashes where I already tried to prefix my css class names with the module name—which is handled by css modules already. Because of this duplication it didn’t work. Now it does. Yay!
I am working on my first React component library for my current client. Doing lots of things for the first time. Running into lots of roadblocks and things don’t really work like I expect them to. This might be simple, but it’s not easy.
This morning I took some detours on my way to my client by bike. I rode through some parks, chose small streets and enjoyed myself on my @8barbikes adventure bike. I‘m very much in love.
From my friend Ian, I learned the value of putting a clear; in front of your test runs in the terminal. Wasn’t aware of the difference it makes for running your tests many times.
My submission to Euruko was rejected. ☹ That’s a pity, would have loved to visit Rotterdam. I still have 7 other proposals that might come through. Fingers crossed 🤞
You probably know AC/DC. But have you heard of MC/DC?
If you need to test a complex conditional, you should take some time to learn about this one.
Today I am working on a new visualization of fragmentation of ownership for Git repositories. The more fragmented a repo is, the more developers work on it together. This leads to no clear ownership and makes it easier for defects to creep into the code.
I am reading the new edition of Refactoring by Martin Fowler these days. I am preparing a new workshop on Software Design and Architecture. I bet there are some ideas in there that will inspire me to create some specific exercises. #refactoring
I am now using Micro.blog for my microposts. I will crosspost my newsletters there. And whatever I think makes sense. I will figure it out by just trying. 😎
