Making my way slowly back through the Scrimba Frontend Bootcamp, but struggle for motivation to keep going back over basic html/css.

Fearghus features as today's daily dog, enjoying his walk at the park. Caoimhe is less impressed with him.... as he nipped her ear in his dash for water when he got home.

Mustang has not had a good day with his heart murmur while I've been at the office today, but he had a nice walk when I got home, and has been a little better since. Seeing the vet tomorrow, selfishly hoping he has a little time left yet, but he is fragile.

I've been subscription slashing tonight: analytics, MastoHost (back to mastodon.scot), Kagi, Zwift, BikeTerra. All great, but not critical and I want to free up budget. New meta page coming.

Thought weβd add some serenity and calmness to our Podenco pack by introducing a working cocker. Meet Ruairidh, who joins us at the end of the month.

I've just tweaked my main RSS feed to incorporate both articles and micro posts... apologies if doing that flooded your feedreader or timeline like it did mine.

Picking up a year after the Orient game, I killed a little time this weekend playing on from my initial CM89 testing. Highlights from a full squad rebuild included two promotions, two Vans Trophies, winning the FA Cup in season two, as well as the Charity Shield afterwards.

Today's centrefold is Professor Mustang, climbing up for a cuddle at almost 14, while Stevie photobombs with his backside.

Unwell again, Vickie is keeping my season card company at Turf Moor this evening.
Tired after 6 weeks of it, I just want to feel well again. :(

I'm excited to have read from several credible sources that Rouvy have now decided to maintain Fulgaz as a standalone. No other solution nears Fulgaz levels of realism / immersion. I've resubscribed.

It is unusual to find four of our canine children sat on the same sofa as each other. My colleagues were treated to this scene behind me this afternoon.

Here is Mr. Mustang sniffing around in front of Barden marina today. We were very worried about him last night, but my old man is doing much better today.

A quick afternoon play through of the first episode of Caesar III - primarily to test out that the content structure and RSS feeds are working correctly for my video games section.

I have updated my rss feeds to incorporate additional metadata, and incorporated my final content types (for now). Except for some minor templating remaining, this phase of development is complete.

A comprehensive victory by Del over Otto Wallin. Derek brought War, putting Wallin on the deck twice at 41 years of age, and coping well with a gash from a head clash for half of the fight.
It will be a long time till I see a fight with that level of attrition again. Hopefully Del's next and hopefully final fight number 50.

I've completely rewritten my microblog page as I could not work out why responsivity on mobile was broken on the first archive page (only!). I've stripped back the code, making it simple and lean.

I try not to comment on politics very often, but I find the Gaza resettlement plan especially troubling. Two words from the 90s summarise it perfectly, so let's call it what it is - ethnic cleansing.

Sadly Iβll not be on the Turf tonight. Have a nasty chest infection that is playing badly with my asthma. Steroids and antibiotics incoming :(
