Lockdown continues

I don't think I've mentioned this in blogs or notes before, but the UK is currently on lockdown. Since 18th March, Liquid Light have been a fully remote company - we had to quickly adapt to working in an office to all being in our own homes. It's a weird time, but I think the boy is enjoying both me and my wife being home. Despite the fact i'm not spending 2 hours a day commuting, I seem to have less time then I did before! It's going to be a hard shift when we're allowed to go back to the office again.

Thankfully we're allowed to go out an exercise - the bike rides scattered throughout the week are keeping me sane!

Behind the source gets started

It's been a long time coming, but Behind the Source is finally going to be underway next week. Last week I announced who was going to be involved and when the interviews are going public. I'm super excited about these as they have been such a good read while I've been editing and inputting them into the CMS.

Useful links

I got caught out by the Google Chrome font-weight issue this week on my Beer site
Google Meets is free - this is a great tool we use at work for our meetings (while on lockdown), it's great to see Google opening it up to the public

New Site If you have come here before you would have noticed there is now a new face to my blog. More space, better fonts & (in my opinion) just generally nicer. I wrote a "timeline/history" about the blog/my site and dug up some Internet Archive links for each step. You can…

So yes, I'm getting on the Weeknote train. They won't always be weekly, but a series of small notes, achievements and somewhere for me to dump my mind. Git Hooks Battled with git hooks after finding out that there is no such thing as a "pre-merge" hook unfortunately - I wanted to…
