Added a new snippet to my VS Code snippets file today so that I can add an ISO 8601 date and time to the front-matter of my markdown files after I've finished writing.
{
"postDate": {
"prefix": "now",
"body": [
"$CURRENT_YEAR-$CURRENT_MONTH-${CURRENT_DATE}T$CURRENT_HOUR:$CURRENT_MINUTE:$CURRENT_SECOND$CURRENT_TIMEZONE_OFFSET"
],
"description": "Inserts the current date and time in ISO 8601 format."
}

Today I learned that "BFF" also stands for "Backend for Frontend" and not just "Best Friends Forever". I thought it was strange that APIs were being described by their friendship levels.

I just released version 0.2.0 of eleventy-plugin-mastoarchive.
You can now show all your public Mastodon posts in your #eleventy site.
If you were starting your archive with previous versions, the archive started with your 40 most recent posts.
In 0.2.0, the archive starts with your first Mastodon post.

I previously used a global data file to fetch all my public Mastodon posts so I could display them on my website.
Now, that same code is available as an #11ty plugin that exposes all your public Mastodon posts as a global data object.

Dear the internet,
Please settle an argument about the best 5 pasta shapes. And why spaghetti is top of the list.
Thanks,

I really wish there was a better way for shops to send you a digital receipt than having the shop assistant enter your email address at the till.
I don't want to have to shout my email address just so the shop assistant can hear me in a busy shop.
I get that there are benefits to going paperless, but in this case I find myself asking for a paper receipt more often.

I just had to "fix" my heroes advent calendar because I wasn't able to read most of the numbers and couldn't even find the first door.
Before/after pictures added for context.
