🔖 Bookmarked: From Wordpress To Eleventy With Ease: HeydonWorks by Heydon Pickering

My passport expired several years ago, and I only just got around to starting the renewal process. Initially I put it off due to the independence referendum, then the uncertainty around Brexit (with a bit of laziness and other, higher, priorities thrown in too). It feels odd to be renewing in the middle of a pandemic, but the perfect storm of necessity and availability meant it was time.

I have to admit, I was impressed by how easy the online renewal system was, compared to how bad my previous interactions with .GOV services were…

I was out in the garden first thing this morning, and discovered the kids had left all of their colouring books outside overnight, and they were covered in a thick layer of dew and ice 🤦‍♂️

Genuinely considering shelling out £££ (and a whole bunch of hours) to get Microsoft Certified on a few things, because it would genuinely help for work. Younger me would be so disappointed.

I’ve pushed out some updates to https://whtv.directory, which should fix the 2 bugs I’ve seen crop up so far. I’ve also changed the importer schedule, so it gives Twitch a chance to generate the thumbnails before importing the latest VoDs.

Today, in “Totally Privileged Problems” – the robot vacuum seems to be failing, after 2.5 years of service. One of of the side brushes is struggling to turn, which causes the unit to instantly stop and beep loudly until someone turns it off again.

I'm going to try opening the casing up, to see if there's something jamming the mechanism, but I should probably prepare myself to find a replacement.

If the last few days/weeks have done anything, they’ve got wishing more online stores had a "only show me what’s in stock" toggle. It would save so many frustrating click throughs…

🔖 Bookmarked: COBOL Tutorial - Tutorialspoint

I’ve been curious about COBOL for a while, mainly in the "learning an anachronism" sense, and the recent news around it has brought that curiosity back to the fore. It might be time to dive in!

My grandad, who is in his 80’s and has been in hospital for the last few months, tested positive for COVID-19 today. So far he's asymptomatic, and hopefully it stays that way.
