After 6 months with bearblog, 11ty and even micro.blog again, maybe the kirby site I started with was the most functionally complete. I'm going to try to simplify and update the design, and perhaps move it onto my new shorter url.

Strangely my migration to my self-hosted mastodon server seems to have dropped my follows of (but not followers from) social.lol accounts. Hopefully I've found and readded them all today...

Quick exercise on FCC this evening, building out a basic checkout page with accessibility features. Aria-labels are new to me, so I'll need to wrap my head around those a little more.

This evening's code exercise was an easy walk through html tables on FCC. Click through for links to repo and build if of interest.

I've always hated html forms, I don't think I've ever created one from scratch that actually worked. So hopefully in working through the FCC forms module tonight, something stuck.

I spent a little time working through the html modules on FreeCodeCamp this afternoon, inbetween contemplating / prevaricating about playing around with Quartz SSG.

A screenshot from my Helvetica heavy bearblog theme.

Having spent the last week or so playing around with BearBlog, I've just spent the last few hours importing everything into my main site. I can learn from the simplicity, but my Kirby CMS build just does more...

At Old Trafford, where Burnley visit Manchester United in the Premier League. How will Utd respond to Grimsby knocking them out of the league cup?

I've wanted to align my fediverse handle and email address for a while, and have prevaricated for a few weeks over how best to do it. In the end I set up a family server on my prry.uk domain, hopefully ending the inertia.

Screenshot of the new calendar view in Rouvy's rider portal - showing challenges and event invitations.

I really like the new calendar in Route's rider portal... if only it broadcast externally via iCal. It makes event invitations much easier to view / accept.

If there was one thing that made a completely pointless ride out to Fulham and back less painful yesterday (read the joining instructions in future), it was chuckling away to "Mind the Gap" at every station along the way. IYKNK.
