And backed.

Excited to see what this is going to be.

And yes, Terry, it is completely normal.

100% this.

I can relate to this SO much. I don’t think it’s something that will EVER go away for me.

No. 😂

Looks like the average spring weather we get here in Wisconsin.

I ordered my first pair of bifocals this afternoon. It was only a matter of time before it happened, but I was hoping to not have to worry about it until after age 50 at least.

I hurt my right arm getting dressed this morning. I pulled a muscle putting on a button up shirt. The struggle is real.

Massively decreased my Time Machine backups with a few exclusions I had t known about before. Had daily backups with tens of GBs backing up. So happy to have that problem solved now. They were taking forever wirelessly.

I would love to get my original GameBoy fixed. It does have line issues, but I can recall right now if they were horizontal or vertical. Is it a fairly easy fix? I’ve never really looked into it before.

I have been so neglectful of my Bluesky account for a long time now. Trying to make it a habit again.

The @synologyofficial.bsky.social NAS has proved to be a great investment. I wish I would have done this years ago. Better late than never, though, I guess.

After debating for over a year now, I finally decided to invest in a Synology unit for backups and network storage.

Looks like Tesla’s Optimus may not be all that the company wants you to believe they are. I can’t imagine anyone ever wanting ones of these in their home.

Watched the new Jeff Buckley documentary today on HBO Max. So good. Massive talent gone way too soon.

🤦🏼‍♂️

I recognize a few faces in that bunch.

I’m going out on a limb here with what is very likely an unpopular opinion, but I don’t believe that vibe coding is as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. In certain cases that is. There. I’ve said it. 😂

Did it. Don’t regret it. Won’t regret it.

I’m really considering going all in with a lifetime license for the Kadence WordPress theme. I feel like it would be a solid investment being that I’ve been using it for two years now already.

🧠 Kevin Powell’s workshop “The New CSS Toolkit” starts December 3, and there are still spots if you want to join!

We’ll cover everything from Grid & Subgrid to container queries, :has() and cascade layers and much more! Learn more: smashingconf.com/online-works...

Congrats!

I have a lot of bills that I’d like to forget about. 😆

Screenshot of images with gradient/ pattern borders: a plain purple at the top to gold at the bottom gradient border, a hearts on a transparent background pattern border, a "cicada curtains" effect gradient border, a stars on a transparent background pattern border.

Code for the first two examples in the linked demo.

Code for the last two examples in the linked demo.

What's the point of setting background on an img anyway? 🤷

Well, it's useful if we want a border pattern only possible with multiple gradients (border-image only allows one)/ if we also want to have rounded corners (border-image + border-radius = 💩).

Is there ever a bad day to do so?

A brandy old fashioned sweet is good for any holiday in my eyes.

Woke up to a bunch of websites that can’t be accessed because of the massive Cloudflare outage. It’s going to be a long day.

Accessibility isn’t about just slapping some JavaScript on it for a fix. That seems to be the go-to for some developers. Always start first with native HTML. #a11y
