When I started work this morning I didn't expect I would spend hours trying to fix the template variables in emails translated into urdu.
The email text and the actual variables, and html, and css all translated.

The right button on my Logitech M570 has been dying for a while.
Bought a replacement switch and tried to replace it over the weekend.

Unfortunately I made a right pigs ear of getting the old switch of the circuit board, and managed to remove the copper pad from the circuit board, completely breaking the right click. 😭

I really need to get better at de-soldering!

On the plus side I get to try the Kensington orbit now.
Mmmmmm #trackballs

I think I finally found what was causing random ruby processes to send my macbook into fan whirring apoplexy.

It was spring of course.

It's always bloody spring

Bought a beginner electronics kit. Better start learning I guess!

I started my new job at Raspberry Pi foundation yesterday.

I am happy :)

I finally finished my Ergodox build

Now for the adjustment period and weeks of tinkering with key layout 🤣

Managed to solder the IO Expander the wrong way round in my Ergodox 😢

Then while desoldering and placing it the correct way I managed to break off one of the pins 😭

My #ergodox case arrived today and now I’m starting to make some real progress 😀

I love this pattern we have at work.
Name a thing after its colour, design changes...

The number of .btn-blue CSS styles that are actually orange is amazing.

Whenever I try and type python it always comes out as pythong.

I don't know what that says about me.

Now I'm off to re-read the book. It's been about 10 years and I can't remember it well enough to know how much the TV show changed the plot.

Just finished watching Altered Carbon on Netflix and really enjoyed it.

It does seem like if people had incremental, redundant backups of themselves most of the story doesn't happen though 😂

So the major takeaway from Altered Carbon is:
Have a decent backup strategy.

76 diodes soldered = step 1 complete

#ergodox

All the diodes soldered on one side of my #ergodox

This is going to take a while but I’m enjoying it.

Don't you just love it when someone asks you to join a meeting at the last minute because it might be useful.

Then you sit there for 45 minutes and everything is completely irrelevant to you.

Trying to learn functional programming is messing with my head.

I think I'm making progress though.

Slow, slow progress 😆

Major component for my new project arrived.

😀 😨

One day you wake up with the solution to a programming problem in your head. The next day you wake up with Mariah Carey's Fantasy stuck in your head.

It's swings and roundabouts.
