Eleventy 0.10.0 is out and I am distracted again

I love that there are so many great static site generators out. I hate that I don’t have enough time to try all of them.

But Eleventy has the possum logo. Hard to argue with that. Maybe I’ll revisit with the base blog template, or one of the other starter kits.

I like to tell myself I’m more productive late at night because I get some quiet time.

But it just occurred to me that I might be more productive late at night because I’m too tired to get Brilliant Ideas.

Intermittent fire alarm the last 45 minutes and the pups didn’t pee on anything. I’m so proud of them.

I’d give them a medal but they’d probably per on it.

Brains are weird. Fire alarm going off randomly & I calmly keep through the meeting while monitoring situation and soothing the dogs.

But if somebody’s typing too loud I can’t think.

Did I mention brains are weird?

Digging deeper into Python and PostgreSQL for work, though more in the “cool stuff with fun libraries” sense.

Totally not-work: Crystal, Raku, maybe look more at Elixir.

That’s the plan. The likely reality: OMG SPARKLY OOH LOOK HEY WHAT IS THIS

@fool This is also familiar, though I’m better at tuning out cats than dogs. Childhood practice, I think.

Databases are a crunchy tasty domain. Getting that very special aggravation you get when you’re having fun.

Somewhere between the first couple turns of Risk and the last table flip of Monopoly.

I keep accidentally noticing what’s going on in the world when I’m trying to be get stuff done.
