Wild split in the Brum elections. 6 remaining to be called. Labour didn’t do themselves any favours this year with all the bin strikes.

Just spotted a minor bug on the homepage. These definitely put the few WC’s I’ve made to shame!

Installing apps on the old iPad for the kid and hitting the nostalgia with some of these old defunct apps. Echofon? Fuzzle? Enigmo?

These were my views of the #planetaryalignment tonight. Always see Mars and Jupiter on a nice night, Orion too. I can see a surprising amount of stars for living in a bit city suburb.

Here’s the valentines cup I got this morning, and also just happens to have a blurry picture of the #dotnet web project I maintain. It’s almost a passion project! Cshtml. Vanilla js. Vue. Stimulus. It’s got everything. The coffee was good btw

I'm really not sure what part of @vscode.dev is doing this auto-suggest but its entirely wrong

Can you guess when the fix got deployed? Chart shows storage transactions (i.e. writes). Down from 1400/min to 40/min.

Just wanted to say I’m pretty chuffed with this avocado tree me and the kid planted.

Went out last night for an evening walk with my sister and the families to see their local light show. Little cul-de-sac where they all decorate. This house went hard on lights!

Took the 5yr old to do some Christmas shopping and ended up with her sobbing about wanting some candy floss. £9 and 40 minutes later, she was very happy.

I use file nesting patterns in @vscode.dev to group config files in the tree view. Helps keep views a bit cleaner

VSCode settings.json file nesting patterns
```json
"explorer.fileNesting.patterns": {
"package.json": "package-lock.json, pnpm*, .yarnrc*, yarn*, .eslint*, eslint*, .prettier*, prettier*, .editorconfig",
"Gemfile": "Gemfile.lock, .bundleconfig, .rspec, Guardfile, .rubocop, .reek.yml, .ruby-version",
"tsconfig.json": "tsconfig.*.json, env.d.ts",
"vite.config.*": "jsconfig*, vitest.config.*, cypress.config.*, playwright.config.*"
}
```

I think it depends on the condition. These to me would feel weird if they were if !condtion
