Kind: Notes
Short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title.

I made a graph to show how the number of large hand tools stored in our garage has changed this last year but I forgot to label the axes.

Ahead of schedule on work project. Invited to 2nd COVID jab next week. Spent half of day working on laptop in sunny garden. Parcel arrived from @LEGO_group with Everyone Is Awesome model (pictured).
Today was a Good Day. -
Just learned Tuca & Bertie is getting a 2nd season (thanks Adult Swim, no thanks Netflix). Super excited. In anticipation I'm rewatching season 1 of this sort-of "upbeat feminist Bojack Horseman" and (re)loving it.

Hey @LloydsBank! 2009 called and asked if you're done sending your customers links to unencrypted HTTP endpoints yet. How do you feel about switching this to a HTTPS link rather than relying on an interceptable/injectable HTTP request?

The Last Supper
Dan receives an invitation to 'the last supper' before Robin begins his rowing expedition.

I'm On Fire
In 2020 at @automattic my team, Alpha, forked into teams Fuel and Fire. But it took 'til now for me to notice that our internal systems use something like the string "${jobTitle} on ${teamName}". Which leads to THIS excellent title.

Can you tell me how to get in touch with your technical/security team @firstdirecthelp? Apparently my report about a vulnerability in your website contains characters that aren't "valid" for your sucky feedback form... but it doesn't say which ones.

Best Before
On his 40th birthday, Dan gets trolled by his breakfast.

Look at Banner, Dan!
Dan's greeted by a happy birthday banner that MIGHT have been repurposed...

**
Despite the fact that it's existed for 11 years, TIL about globstar in Bash. Set shopt -s globstar and ** globs become fully recursive, making that bulk transcode operation much simpler. 🤯

Recursively repackaging .mkvs as .mp4s
for f in **/*.mkv; do echo "$f"; ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -loglevel panic -i "$f" -c copy "${f%.mkv}.mp4"; rm "$f"; done

Sometimes, I miss Troma Night. Hanging out with my friends and watching awful/awesome films over pizza and beer.
If only there were a way to do it during lockdown?
Oh wait, there is: danq.me/homa-night/homa-night-2 -
Watched the pilot of Webbed Briefs by @heydonworks (of Every Layout fame). It's a sarcastic independent vlog about web technologies, so I immediately fell in love and subscribed to the feed...
Just kidding. It doesn't have a feed! (Yet?)

With thanks to @wasdkeyboards, my new #keyboard can show some #Pride. 🏳️🌈 -
Needed new UPS batteries.
Almost bought from @insight_uk but they require registration to checkout.
Purchased from @SourceUPSLtd instead.
Moral: having no "guest checkout" costs you business.
