RIP notes feature

Notes are small format posts, snippets of information or stuff I've found useful. They're not quite long enough to be blog posts right now, but they might be when they're older.

Here is an archive of all of my short-form notes. I wasn't using this feature enough (there are 10 in total), and the content queries were starting to break. Sometimes things aren't worth the upkeep - and thats ok! we pivot and carve.

Any notes will redirect to this page of my /blog. Notes in chronological order because reasons.

2023-12-04 - My first note

This is my first note! It's a pretty small one. I tested postive for COVID-19 today. My first time 😿

2023-12-10 - Another note

I'm still stick with COVID-19. 😷

2023-12-10 - CSS Container Queries

I've implemented my first container query on my website! Inspect the code on my logo to see it in action.

I also tooted a little demo video on Mastodon - which may or may not still be visible.

2023-12-15 - Website updates

I did some more tweaks under the hood of my website this afternoon. I tidied up the main navigation, homepage hero, and added a cool little widget that shows the song I'm currently listening to on my Plex server.

I've mostly recovered from COVID-19 now, but I'm still feeling a bit tired. I'm going to take it easy over the weekend and try to get some rest. I'm looking forward to getting back to work on Monday. I'll be finishing off a few projects before the Christmas break, and then I'll be taking a few weeks off to spend time with my family and friends.

2024-01-01 - New years day, 2024

I had a really lovely new years day. I had a great sleep with the CPAP, went for a huge (for me) bike ride, and then went to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne. Trying to just use this time to reset and get back into a good headspace.

I made it 365 days without eating anything from a certain fast food chain, and I'm doubling down by adding a couple other chains to my no-no list.

Thank you for listening.

Where's my trophy!?
