Headdesking after realising I’ve spent a day debugging something I caused by trying to make debugging a different thing easier.

Would YOU like to feel like a genius or an idiot on a completely random basis? Try programming!

Who on mastodon.me.uk is coming to @emf? I wonder if I should organise a little meet up…?

Web workers seem fairly straightforward, except if you want to run an interactive 3d engine offscreen, in which case there's so much to get your head around and very little clear documentation. It's taken me ages. 😭

Blog post definitely to come from this though.

Now wondering whether to pitch an @emf lightning talk that would either (a) be really interesting and unexpected or (b) make me look utterly insane and destroy what little credibility I have left.

Not sure I'm brave enough.

Even after all these years, Javascript's scope and callback behaviour still do my head in.

Sadly didn't get my @emf talk in, but I'm not too surprised; it was probably not right for the audience or general vibe really. Still, that means I can spend the time focused on the many other things I need to do before the end of the month 😓

It’s May 4th! What shall I get the kids to watch tonight?

We're working on a child's bake which has unreliable brakes, a cassette player, a vacuum cleaner, a hedge trimmer, a bag, and a laptop at the moment.

We've had lots of clocks come in so Kevin is very busy!

Random shuffle this morning reminded me of this rock opera banger; "The Bike Song" by The Grave Architects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAO95Q5IiYY

I'm so pleased to have been able to spend a week working specifically on #Accessibility for @manyfold. I reckon it must be pretty rare in open source to get that opportunity.

Bloke in the pub has the Worms “incoming” sound effect as his text notification sound and now I have a new life goal.

"If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership."

The innovation will continue until morale improves :goose_bonk:

Don't have any proper local elections here, just the utterly pointless Police & Crime Commissioner role, but I'm off to vote in a bit anyway purely because #FuckTheTories.

Long shot: Any #Rails devs know of a method to add a lang attribute on any text that's missing a translation, so has had to fall back to the default locale? I suspect I might need to write my own i18n backend, but I'd love to find something already out there.

Boosts for reach appreciated!

Bringing in ID checks for official things encourages random other stuff to have ID checks too. Last weekend a local triathlon had a photo ID requirement. The big assumption is that race officials have any way of knowing the ID is genuine.

Not sure if it's just me, but there is something quite wrong with #duckduckgo this morning!
Results don't seem to be showing up for even the most basic queries.
