Precious… a fitting prompt for (Aussie?) Father’s Day today. Kids weren’t interested in being photographed so I took a photo of my wedding ring and Melissa’s engagement and eternity rings
Day 3 of #mbsept
Buildup… A very literal response to today’s prompt but I quite like the striking blue of the sky
Day 2 of #mbsept
[Mostly] finished reading The Big Con by Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington 📚
Not exactly a page turner but helpful to reflect on the role of consultants and how to make sure they’re providing a long term benefit to an organisation
The excitement (and nervousness) are building for my first ever conference talk!
More holiday reading down the coast: Deadly Cross by James Patterson 📚
Finished reading: 23rd Midnight by Maxine Paetro and James Patterson 📚
Underwhelming story and writing, never really felt immersed or invested 🤷♂️
Very excited (and nervous) to be accepted as a speaker at RubyConf Thailand in October 🥳
If all goes to plan I’ll be implementing a HTCPCP server live on stage.
Looking forward to listening to the keynote speakers!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading Joanna Jenkins’ debut novel, How to Kill a Client 📚
I had the killer figured out early on and was patting myself on the back, right up until the final chapters proved me wrong.
Found A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin on the bookshelves of our holiday rental. Good story but much grittier than what I normally read 📚
More holiday reading: The Girl in the Castle by Emily Raymond and James Patterson 📚
By the by, I’d love to know more about how these books written by both a famous author and a lesser known author work 🤔 First saw it a long time ago with Tom Clancy but it seems to be happening more and more lately.
Finished reading In The Blink of An Eye by Jo Callaghan 📚
The plot seemed a little too coincidental at times but the author’s real life experiences and emotions were well captured in the lead character. Glad I read it!
Finished re-reading The Sentinel by Andrew Child and Lee Child 📚 Enjoyable but not memorable in any way. Going to try a new author with my next book
Just finished some light holiday reading in Sweden, No Plan B by Lee Child and Andrew Child 📚
Just read Recursion by Blake Crouch after seeing it mentioned by Manton 📚
Clever premise and reasonably well-paced.
Finished reading: The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman 📚
Finished reading: The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman 📚
Finished reading: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman 📚
Finished reading: Rhythm of War Part Two by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Finished reading: Rhythm of War Part One by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Adding a banner to staging site using JavaScript
I wanted to put a banner on the test/staging copy of our library management system to make it easier for the librarian to know which system he is using.
Here’s how I added a red ribbon to the top corner, an idea I stole from RailsGuides, using JavaScript:
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.style.position = "fixed";
div.style.right = "0";
div.style.top = "0";
div.style.zIndex = "100";
div.style.color = "white";
div.style.fontSize = "30px";
div.style.transform = "rotate(45deg) translate(27.5%, -40%)";
div.style.minWidth = "200px";
div.style.fontWeight = "bold";
div.style.fontStyle = "italic";
div.style.boxShadow = "0px 2px 2px 1px #1209096e";
div.style.textShadow = "2px 2px 4px #5400007d";
div.style.background = "radial-gradient(circle, rgb(255, 10, 0) 0%, rgb(200, 0, 0) 90%)";
div.style.textAlign = "center";
div.innerHTML = "TEST";
document.body.appendChild(div);
