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.
This weekend, Morgan McGuire, graphics and game programming god, tweeted a thread about his text journal based method of software development project management.
Here I single out three of the tweets, but you should really read the whole thread:
When coding, I always maintain a journal in the repo (I happen to use Markdeep for this now) with a TODO list.
Tasks are at the level of one hour for “today” stuff, one day for next week, and then week- or longer level tasks.
Welcome back everyone! I hope all of you are doing as well as possible.
This edition of the WHV looks back on the two and a bit tumultuous weeks from Monday March 9 to Tuesday March 24.
I am writing this for us here now, but I’m also writing this for readers in a few years’ time who might be looking into the more obscure corners of the web for additional impressions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Welcome back friends to the Weekly Head Voices!
This is the 190th edition, covering the two weeks from monday February 24 to Sunday March 8, 2020.
