Gosh, I'm going ABSOLUTELY CRAZY with my browser extension.
Does anyone here know about message passing in browser extentions?
I mean, I understand it, but I'm tearing my hair out with this issue:
https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill/issues/301#issuecomment-1440783426
The promise returned by the message handler always resolves to null.
I'm using the webextension-polyfill (for now)
Listening to this super-geeky @changelog podcast about Git and it’s a hilarious riot of unscripted, ad-libbed comedy gold.
My new criteria for podcast subscribes is “makes me laugh out loud”.
Every now and then I have a day with my kids where I feel like I can do this dad thing. It’s sadly rare. People tell me I'm doing a great job. But days when I FEEL like it are few and far between.
Today is one of them. And I'm SOOOOO grateful for it.
Also: The Mitchells vs the Machines is SUCH a funny and brilliant film. And wow I had to hold in a few tears at the end.
Spent most of my evening fixing up Turbo Admin to work as a Manifest v3 extension.
Think I've nailed it. Chrome AND Firefox!!
Still doing some stuff a bit brute-force for now.
Will hopefully write up some stuff, if I remember. Because the docs are pretty poor and there's weirdness!
So weird seeing this place emptied of water.
And so sad to see the old haunt neglected. So many memories here.
This is the Oasis in Swindon.

OK. What am missing. I want a smartphone app that lets my kid (10/11) communicate with friends in a group.
– No lower age limit
– Parental control over contacts/groups
– Cross platform
– Push notifications
– I’m happy to self-host a server
– No big tech
Does this exist?
@aurooba Would you be willing to say more about "… my faith in headless is not fully there …" because I'm desperately trying to get on board with headless myself and I'm wondering what it is that hold YOU back.
Air fares should be presented as all-in prices with the check in time, not the departure time.
1. Go to see how much a flight to Athens is.
2. Get ridiculously overwhelmed.
3. Decide I’m probably never going to fly again.
4. Wonder if anyone actually enjoys this process?
I think I’ve been playing too much #NoMansSky
I saw a bird in the sky at the weekend and my first instinct was that I needed to scan it for credits! 😂
Tried to describe my job at the weekend to an older, less technical person:
– if there’s architects and builders for buildings then there are the same for websites. I’m a builder.
– Well, actually, I’m building the tools that builders use. So I’m like DeWalt or Ryobi.
– Hmm. Well. In fact:
Imagine that I’m the janitor who looks after the DeWalt store building where other builders buy the tools they use for building.
– Does this make ANY sense?! 😂
Hmm… I kinda expected more from the template for the Easter egg design competition…
🤔🤷♂️😂
Is it cos I’m old? Or British? Or Gen X?
Dunno.
But the Super Bowl half time show was totally underwhelming.

Over on Twitter someone has asked for photos of your oldest #programming book.
Depends what you mean by oldest!
SICP was written in ‘85 but I didn’t own it until ‘95
The Little LISPer was published two years later, but I owned it a year or two earlier.
Ah yes. The BEST version of Tetris is now on the Switch! 😃
I’ve never done WordCamp Europe. But I got looking through the attendee list and genuinely might seriously consider it purely to meet and hang out with some of my favourite online people.
Has anyone built an AI that I can run presentations through that expands all acronyms to their longform versions?
Why are there so many abbreviations?
Does it actually help the reader/viewer? Or is it the content producer being lazy and/or gatekeeping?
These layoffs are now getting far too close to home. Sad for everyone involved here. 🙁
(And in ALL the places I know that have had layoffs/redundancies this week)
Ah yay! @courtneyr_dev just pointed out that https://turbo-admin.com/ got a mention on @nathan’s weekly show/podcast.
Thank you Nathan!!
(Looks like I need to work on that SEO! 😬)
“Hey, ChatGPT…
Write me a story about a builder called ‘Beaver’ who goes on a quest. He should be aided or hindered (you decide) by a series of friends or villains: a scientist called ‘Rocket’; a wizard called ‘Varnish’; and a dragon called ‘Cloudflare’.
The quest is to discover the contents of the mysterious cache, and deliver it to Prince DOM.
The quest is ultimately successful but only accomplished by the solving of numerous, complex and inter-related puzzles”
