Snook @snook.ca · 20/09/2026I chalk it up to lazy developers. This has got to be increasing support costs for the business due to errors, etc. 100
Snook @snook.ca · 20/09/2026Southwest's web site is appalling. Losing session at seat selection. Restart, select 2 passengers and resets to 1 passenger on next screen. I feel like I must be the only person with these issues because this would be a service nightmare. 100
Snook @snook.ca · 25/08/2026Starbucks got me into loving coffee but loving coffee got me off Starbucks. 161
Snook @snook.ca · 19/08/2026I love seeing the rise of apps that aren't bent on storing everything in data centers to harvest. 010
Snook @snook.ca · 18/08/2026Safari gets rid of the themed address bar in full screen mode? But why?! 000

Snook @snook.ca · 14/08/2026Wrote a couple sentences, using a semi-colon. Does a semi-colon feel right? Maybe an em-dash. Nah, a period might be best. Had a thought that it would be nice to ask an editor a quick question like this. Is this where AI would be helpful? I asked AI and it suggested a semi-colon. Okay then. 000
Snook @snook.ca · 14/08/2026Feels more pop/marketable, like they're writing for the next GAP commercial. Still has some catchy tracks. 000
Snook @snook.ca · 14/08/2026Personal accomplishment: got Starglass camo on 30 guns so I can start getting Absolute Zero. But have now lost the desire to get the next set. That was enough grinding. #warzone 000
Snook @snook.ca · 07/08/2026I have a custom 404 page. If you go to /404, it's technically a 200, even though it says it's a 404. I could probably fix/change that but this amuses me. 020
Snook @snook.ca · 29/07/2026I keep wondering why I have the age filter on, only to realize I don't. 220
Snook @snook.ca · 28/07/2026The Neo might even be fine for me. Web dev work isn’t pushing the system. And I’d be plugged into an external monitor 95% of the time so the screen isn’t as important. 010
Snook @snook.ca · 28/07/2026Time for a new Mac. I downsized everything to a Mac mini but would like some portability back and an iPad isn't really hitting the spot. Looking at a MacBook and feeling like Apple does a poor job of differentiating their products. 230
Snook @snook.ca · 21/07/2026Added next/previous post to the blog. I'm on the fence about it because the posts aren't a linear story. I feel like random posts or no posts might be more appropriate. 010
Snook @snook.ca · 21/07/2026"comes out on video" is such a boomer/gen-x phrase. Like I'm picking up a tape from Blockbuster for my video cassette recorder. 130
Snook @snook.ca · 21/07/2026"I'll wait until it comes out on video to watch it." And then I proceed to never watch it when it comes out on video. 110

Snook @snook.ca · 16/06/2026I've been enjoying playing with scroll-based animations but implementations are finicky across browsers and I don't love that Firefox still has it behind a flag. It would be nice to be able to style element X that isn't a child of view-timeline. 000

Snook @snook.ca · 09/04/2026When I cancelled my Adobe subscription, they said that I'd still have access to Adobe Fonts but it's not clear which fonts are only available via a subscription. (It says only 5500 of the 30k fonts would be available.) 020
Snook @snook.ca · 09/04/2026As a lifelong Canadian, interacting with the US government always feels a little more arduous than necessary. 000

Snook @snook.ca · 06/04/2026What're people using for a NAS these days? I'm thinking of going local media instead of relying on the cloud so much. 210
Snook @snook.ca · 02/04/2026The problem with social media algorithms and April Fools jokes is that the jokes appear long after the day is over. 000
Snook @snook.ca · 31/03/2026I appreciate that Sara tracked down this post as it helps provide some context on what's really interesting about this library. I can see the scenarios where it can be helpful—like infinite lists but ugh, I dislike infinite lists, too. 120
Snook @snook.ca · 30/03/2026It's one thing to try something new and interesting. But this doesn't feel like innovation. It feels like a solution in search of a problem. 000
Snook @snook.ca · 29/03/2026Congrats, I guess, on building a layout engine that is demonstrably worse, feature-wise, than what we already have to solve some edge cases you've run into. You sure showed those CSS zealots a thing or two. 190
