when you've been asked to say a timer to remove the tea bag and you are working and beeing too lazy to look for your phone

sleep $(echo "2 * 60" | bc) && say "remove tea bag"

I've been playing around with @zero.rocicorp.dev ! The data management is so easy that I can spend time polishing the UI with nice little effect 🤩

@paoramen.com Your bookmark feed on fika.bar is crazy, it really matches my interest and for most of the items, I'm thinking: "I would have click on this article too" :D I'm not sure if you are already aware but the blogmark contains an 'undefined' which breaks the links!

v4 is out for @tailwindcss.com! The update I'm looking forward to is to be able to find the colors page quickly 🤣

I didn't pay attention that the rankings sync broke since Charlie arrived to Les Sables d'Olonne ! But it is fixed now

back into my most consistent side project: my RSS reader ! The database crashed over New Year, not sure why but at least after a restart, it is way faster! Also added a query to show interval between entries for feeds. This is for my blog, I'll be below 30 for 2025 !

I also found myself loosing which video I'm at so added a little button to help me

Slow progress but added rankings when playing a video. It is hard to make it work for desktop/tablet/mobile but I found a good compromise.

Finally showing the skipper position on a globe when playing the video. It is more or less since we don't know when the videos were recorded but it is probably accurate enough -/+ 24 hours. #vendeeglobe

also this carousel has been a pain since the beginning, I'm thinking of using the flags + tabs/scroll

Not my best F1 season but it was a fun journey code-wise! I migrated everything to run on @cloudflare.social: Pages, Workers, and D1. 3 months to add a few features: tweak scoring, and/or add logged out experience!

While skippers are entering the Indian Ocean, the F1 season is wrapping up and after running motp.oertel.fr for 3 years now, it is time to add a little surprise at the end of the season. Recharts makes it so easy! I'm the green line, great start but not doing well since Silverstone! #recharts #f1

The trick was a border top and left on the rounded element, then 45deg rotation on the container, and a -45deg on the arrow

also pretty fun animation which was needed for smaller/tiny screens

I missed Louis Burton retiring from the race, I only learned when watching Sam's video. So I added a little section if a skipper retired in the last 24 hours! Perks of building your own tool

is there a way to tell: "don't bother, I'm not running wordpress on this server" ?

Enjoying my Friday off to work on the next feature for onboard-videos.com. Now that we have the historical data we can show it on a map ! I haven't use d3js.org for years but it is playing nice with react now

Ben Oertel @ben.oertel.fr · 27/11/2024

Evening feature for onboard-videos.com Rankings! First pass at it anyway, I'm aiming to add changes in the last 24 hours. Also it was to get the mechanism to get data, and now we can start playing around with it...🌍 #vendeeglobe

I hate youtube UI so much I always have to build an app on top of it ! This one is to follow Vendee Globe On Board videos shared by skippers every day!

Brazil was a pretty rough GP 🙈

On a Casio Graph-65 calculator! I started printing code for games and typing it on the calculator and tweaking them. Then writing my own program for maths and physic/chemistry classes.
