Back in 2006, I was a happy Windows XP user. It was time for me to upgrade my machine. Instinctively I was going for a Dell.
But then I thought about iTunes. It was my favorite program on my Windows machine. I thought, “Let me just see what kind of machines Apple sells.” I got my first Mac a few months later and never looked back.
But I do miss the eminently usable UI of older Mac OS X versions.
I miss aqua-style scrollbars so much. I actually need and use scrollbars.

Have you ever come across some code on a project and thought, “that is kind of weird but irrelevant to me right now,” and then discovered hours later that it’s the source of the bug you have been trying to fix the entire time?
Edit: it turns out there is a comment above the exact line of problematic code that says “Yes this is stupid…”
Edit again: git blame is erroneously saying that *I* did this three days ago.
@rrwo@floss.social Yeah that’s a good point.
I’m really sick of taking reverse Turing tests.
It is mind boggling how much JavaScript exists just to help people avoid writing CSS.
Troy and Abed is the greatest bromance in the history of television. Chang my mind.
My very first use of #11ty was this synthwave music mix site that I made during the early days of the pandemic. It is constructed entirely out of data from the YouTube API.

Got my ticket to the #11ty conference! Nice touch that it gleaned my website from my email address. https://conf.11ty.dev/tickets/cdadcfe7b79341faa67513a0ac6ab543
What’s the easiest way to get started making a theme for VS Code these days? I know I’ve seen some web-based tools out there.
Ok @eleventy peeps, what’s the secret to getting nice highlighting and prettier formatting on njk files? Feel like I saw a toot about this recently and can’t remember who it was.
I’m gonna keep saying World War Z-index until someone thinks it’s funny.
