2022 Week 46

I was never a particularly heavy Twitter user, but the recent drama has been very distracting. Very much like watching a wreck. This has not been good for my work motivation which has already been a bit low recently. Next week I need to be better at blocking distractions. For now, I've downloaded my twitter snapshot in case I want to poke at the old data, and am looking at tools like semiphemeral to clean up my old footprint there.

For this week's mokumoku, I got frustrated with my site's html and started reworking it from scratch. Previously I had based it on some existing templates, so this is a good chance to better understand how hugo handles lookup order. Looking at https://endoflife.date/bootstrap resulted in me trying bootstrap 5 for this draft. Most of it seems to work ok, but a few minor quirks (like removal of a styles from badges) leaves me looking for some minor fixes.

On Saturday, my gaming group finished the first campaign on Wildermyth. Now that my group is understanding the game mechanics more, we're really enjoying it. I think the few minor complaints are related to a few rough edges in the multiplayer UX. There are a few times where one of us have clicked next by accident which advances it for everyone else. I think an [ ] I'm Ready button would probably smooth out that experience.
