Figure 1: A rainbow over Betty’s Bay, captured by GOU#1.
Well hello there everyone, and welcome to this, the 200th edition of the Weekly Head Voices.
While I am super happy that we’ve reached this number of episodes, I don’t have anything special planned, besides being festively two weeks late.
Figure 1: A truly magical scene captured on a mountain walk by my inner circle peeps.
Dear friends,
I looked through my notes of the two weeks from Monday June 15 to Sunday June 28, 2020, and found almost nothing but work, work, and then, in a dusty, dark corner right at the bottom of my Emacs… more work.
Figure 1: Evening walk with the fam-jam up a familiar mountain route after a failed attempt at finding the start of a far more spectacular but unfamiliar route.
I was planning to skip a week, because a whole blog post about the work that has been filling my days is really no fun at all.
Hello friends!
Weekly Head Voices #197 looks back at the week from Monday June 1 to Sunday June 7.
Figure 1: Weekend morning runs are generally great, but this Saturday morning run was particularly perfect.
Work-work is quite high intensity at the moment.
Figure 1: Our house clan, as drawn by GOU #2. I’ve blurred out the names of everyone else, but those of you who know us should be able to figure out who’s who. Readers might also notice that I’m slightly outnumbered here.
Figure 1: Photo from a walk with the fam jam up the mountain a little while out from our backyard, all within the sanctioned exercise hours between 6 and 9 in the mornings.
Figure 1: From the oldies but goodies photo album, because I haven’t been getting out much: Sunset at AfrikaBurn 2017. Also due to nostalgia, as our AB 2020 adventure was utterly understandably cancelled (UUC). There’s nothing quite like ambulating amicably across that piece of desert with your homies.
Another Stilbaai beach scene, this time in panaroma format, taken a day before the SA lockdown.
The Weekly Head Voices #193 looks back at the three weeks from Monday April 12 to Sunday May 2.
When I moved this blog over to
Hugo
slightly more than a year ago, I started using Laura Kalbag’s special img
shortcode
with img srcset
support.
To make a long and interesting story short, srcset enables us to tell the
browser that we have for example 5 different resolutions of an image available,
and that it should choose the best one based on the user’s device.
Pretty neat actually!
Anyways, I tweaked the code a bit over time, and most recently I combined it
with the stock Hugo figure shortcode.
Greetings, fellow humans!
It’s 16:15 (UTC+2) on Sunday afternoon as I sit here writing this.
The post seems to be mostly planned out, with fragments of text strewn around the editor window right below this sentence.
