You have spoken… and I have heard. And I own up:

✋ My name is Ross and I am a lazy developer
✋ I need to do lots of debugging in Turbo Admin because, frankly, making it work as a browser extension requires me to do some pretty weird stuff
✋ And yes, I left the console.logs in. I don't know why. Perhaps I though you might find them interesting.
😬 But you have found them annoying. And that is perfectly fair.
🧑‍🏭 I shall work now on making a debug mode.

Ability to sync bookmarks and microblogs is a step towards where I want to be with my online presence. Really enjoying hacking on this stuff.

I've pretty much given up on instant coffee now. Took a long time but I'm pretty much exclusively black filter now.

Not sure what this says about me!

I feel like such a nerd.

I LOVED raindrop.io when I tried it yesterday. So I made a copy of my sync-pinboard plugin that works for Raindrop.

github.com/rosswintle/sync-rai

And I also made a copy that will sync Mastodon posts from an RSS feed into a WordPress custom post type.

Neither of these will end up on the repo. But feel free to use, fork, etc.

All part of making my own "digital garden"!

My own code is never perfect; sometimes awful; always opinionated; carries baggage from my professional past; always evolving and changing. Can coders just agree that we’re all different and all learning. And that that’s ok. And they we’re people, and that people deserve respect?

I don’t always agree with other coders. And that’s OK. But boy I’m grateful for people who make software & tools that power my life & work.

Things I saw in the wild for the first time today: 1) A Tesla car 2) Someone trying (and failing) to buy fork handles.

Funny how, for many of us, “disconnected” and “analogue” are now “treats”. Connected, digital is default.

Inspired by Rob Bell talking of our need for more “boredom” and my beautiful Birthday pen. Think I’ll be writing more.

It’s 7:30. She’s been up for about 3.5 hours. So, naturally, she’s figuring out how to play Junior Scrabble

Voted! #thankyoutoday for our messy, imperfect, but beautiful democracy.

Design critiquing and grammar checking election leaflets. It’s not the point. But I can’t help thinking that if you can’t proof read…?

Why are sleeping and eating – two basic and vital human functions – the two most difficult things to get young children to do?!

Home from holiday! After:

Up a 5:15am
Pack car to leave caravan by ten.
A day at Monkey World.
A three hour non-stop (almost) drive home.

What a great week though. Love Dorset!! Great weather. Feeling blessed too.
