    One of those things I find myself Googling constantly How to create a Wordpress admin user account straight from the database dash -

    Trying to tidy up an overly cluttered git repo at the moment. Only slightly more fun than untangling Christmas lights, headphone cables and extension cords at the same time.

    Debugging a mysterious "unwanted white-space" issue. No clear cause. Inspecting the DOM to find that *something* is appearing as a tiny red dot. I'm assuming that's maybe a zero-width character? Time to go on a ZWSP hunt!

    My word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’: a 19th century wooden toy puppet whose limbs jerk about at the whim of the puppet master. It soon became used for a politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

    Urgh. Very much in a "joining arguments on social media" mood at the moment, which never ends well. 4am early waking will do that! (And maybe it's something to do with having a Trump in the vicinity) Time to go sit in the sun with a coffee, methinks.

    Spent a fun couple of hours earlier too watching Windows 10 chkdsk itself after a messy shutdown. Windows likes taking its time with its chkdsk'ng. It's very thorough. Sometimes it enjoys itself so much it forgets what it's doing and gets stuck on 53% for an hour. Silly Windows!

    I like using as a build tool for CSS and the like because it's like the cartoon sound effect I make whenever I run it. "*Gulp!* I wonder if my build environment will totally break for some reason and I'll need to waste an hour debugging it!"

    I started using a year or so back. It really takes a weight off, a whole chunk of time and mental energy I no longer need to spend worrying and trying to recall passwords. Almost as soon as signing up I felt "why didn't I do this sooner?"

    Also, big shout out to Firefox's Grid inspector. It's a lovely thing. Makes me feel like a magazine publisher or something. (Pretty shading in the gaps)

    Really loving learning about - wish I'd taken the plunge sooner. It really turns how you think about web layout on its head(er). What's the consensus these days on Grid "browser readiness"? Are there any preferred fallback/polyfill techniques?

    ...and I'm only late to the Grid party because (a) browser compatibility woes, and (b) frameworks. It's always about the frameworks, isn't it?

    I made my first useful thing out of CSS Grid! Huzzah! Such an achievement. I feel like a 5 year old grinning at a statue they've just made out of mashed potato.

    ...though, a lot of changes are to the serverside HTML/code, so still needs a full F5/refresh. I'm looking into more powerful "live reload" solutions - any recommendations?

    I realised I waste a surprising amount of time waiting for pages to refresh while applying style changes. I installed for Firefox, means I can now refresh styles only by hitting F9 in an instant. Nice!

    Finally found a decent use case for implementing a CSS Grid - big G - layout. Negative margins begone!

    So here I am, in Scotland, lying outside in a hammock at 10pm!

    . r.e. garden waste tax - I notice you'd already increased frequency of garden waste over winter from every 4 to every 3 weeks (and summer 2 -> 3) but what's the benefit of now paying for/collecting every 2 weeks? (Things really don't grow much in winter)

    This is up on a telephone pole in south Minneapolis and I am dissolved in laughter:

    A white flyer on a telephone pole says HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CAT? above a photo of a fierce fanged black cat. The row of pull-off tabs all say I HAVE NOW.

    "It ain't pretty, but it works and it's quick". I enjoy code solutions which are ugly and patchwork*, but that get the job done efficiently and quickly. The duck tape of the internet. Don't get too hung up on beautiful code. (*but I'll still indent properly, of course)
