At some point I'm going to need a thermal camera because the chips on the boards I'm messing around with are getting very hot and the way I keep finding out is by randomly burning my fingers on them.

FFS Spotify. You know me so well.

I guess I'll be adding this to my blocking process then…

Did not realise that Eurovision was live on YouTube. That'll make finding the right channel easier.

I'm actively blocking cookie concent blockovers, and I've got to assume that no concent (which should be default) => no concent.

Right…

My origin bite length story:

My dad gave me a ZX BASIC listing for Star Wars, in 1988 (I think?). I spent the day coding. The shit did not work. So began my devlife.

How much is too much?

£1? £10? £100? £1K? £10K? £100K? £10,000. More...

I think I know too much is the amount that would leave me with nothing, but the notch before too much is enough to really feel a pinch.

But that's the level that I don't know what to do. The voice in my head keeps saying: what difference does it make - you're employed (for now), you could, in theory, make it back up. You won't starve.

Meh. Money is stupid.

(but totally necessary!)

I wish I knew what the etiquette was for when you find that your neighbour's dog (once removed) takes a giant shit in your front lawn... 😐

Really not looking forward to picking it up (not sure anyone would actually).

If you product anything that includes captions (if there's sound or video, please be in this category), this post is absolutely essential reading and viewing: https://meryl.net/why-captioned-videos-are-important/

I'm so bored of social meeja "fancy" captions being actually more distracting - I get they're trying to overcome muted videos by default, but still, lose them.

I love this deep dive that Jake does - the kind of stuff that my kind of people sort of know without really knowing, and the new folks probably just get confused (understandably): https://jakearchibald.com/2024/attributes-vs-properties/

Just had sparks flying out of my Gameboy, and not in that "good way"...
