Glass and ceramic art objects on a shelf.
I again placed and lighted some art from my motherβs collection I inherited.
It was only after I left the shop that I realised the eSIM reader in my phone must have stopped working this night.
So I guess I'll go to the Apple Store and see if I get a new one.
Weird vignette story ends.
Anyway, they give me a regular SIM card and I'm back online.
I go to the store, and the guy starts resetting it and then says "You've got an Asian iPhone - one that doesn't support eSIM."

Interesting. They found a new 8th century chronicle, christian but not Byzantine, from Syria/Palestine, documenting among other things the rise of the Caliphate.

Four art pieces, one glass and three ceramics, on a shelf, with reasonable lighting.
Getting somewhere with my house-re-decorating: I can now properly place and light these four pieces from my art collection I inherited from my mother.
The modern CSS stack demands constant care and attention

Home. One painting fell off the wall while I was gone. Miraculously, nothing's damaged.
Ah, the memories ...

Same.
Were even mostly the same people.

And I broke my personal record: home door closed to sit down at gate 50 minutes. Was 55.
Then let's meet in the hotel bar. My suspicion is there may be other people we know as well.
Will be heading to London for #sotb in about half an hour. ETA in hotel: 6:15-6:45pm. If anyone's available to grab dinner with, all the better.
At 100 attendees! And the best part of the conference is the people you meet, the community you're steeped in. (Or words to that effect.)

Nah, I'll wait until after the next unrelated job.

Can I indicate a language for an alt text?
Inquiring minds want to know.
RE: https://front-end.social/@ppk/116103280609680682
This post raises some questions about alt texts.
This is a German book; should I literally repeat the full German title in the alt text, even if it's published in an English context? Including the neuarbeitete und vermehrte auflage bit?
Title leaf of a Gothic (to German) dictionry, including Crimea-Gothic, with a photo of a Very Serious gentleman, Sigmund Feist, who does not look feisty at all and curiously is not a Herr Doktor Professor.
You never know what you encounter when you go through your book collection.

Today's first job done. New CSS Day speakers announced.
Today's second job is rehearsing and upgrading my old Browser History presentation that I'm going to run for students on Thursday.
It would work if the dice in the left box could grow and shrink.
Grid: for creating containers for fluid content to fill
Flexbox: for stacking rigid blocks of content in the most efficient way possible
Does this even make sense?
Intuitively, grid is rigid and flexbox is fluid. But it's the other way around for their contents?
