"You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
— Robin Williams
This week has absolutely flown past, looking back it feels as though I went to bed on Monday night and woke up part way into Friday!
I didn't manage to meet any of my publishing goals. However, I did do a lot of maintenance on this digital garden; revamping its footer, adding a new concept of lists and refactoring layouts.
I begin an interesting project next week involving Nuxt3 and porting across some of our existing workflows to it as way of upgrading our stack to something more modern. A lot of our legacy code is Vue2, I am hopeful that it will not be too difficult to copy and refactor to get working.
Joke of the week
Struggling to think of what to buy someone for Christmas?
Get theme a fridge and watch their face light up when they open it.
