Aaron Parecki

First #IndieWebCamp hack day project complete! I'm finally starting to get an understanding of CSS Grid.

Thanks to help from @tantek I was able to fix the display of my monthly calendars at https://aaronparecki.com/2019/04 by switching from table display to flex>grid>flex with table>tr>td markup. Kept the table markup and was able to remove one level of nested divs inside too!

The <table> element is a flexbox, the <tr>s are a grid, and the <td>s inside are a flexbox. This lets the rows of the calendar vary in height, but forces the height of the cells of each row to be the same height. Finally the city names at the bottom are able to be "stuck" to the bottom of the cell.

Pretty disappointing response from NextCloud on this (really bad) bug in their desktop sync client.

If you are a paying enterprise customer, would you please push on their support if you're having this problem?

I got a lot of questions last week at @ML4ALL about how I was able to turn around the conference videos so quickly, so I put together a little behind-the-scenes video showing a walkthrough of my whole setup and workflow, including biking all the gear in and out! 🚲🎥🎉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epKA84wK9ls

Browser APIs have gotten so much better lately! Way easier to do @oauth_2 PKCE in a browser now:

✅ good random number generators
✅ secure hashing functions

Just missing a good base64 encoding function. (Check out the ugly hack in the post.)

current status: wrapped up the web standards meeting for the day, and now watching the recording of yesterday's Planning and Sustainability Commission meeting in Portland, a different kind of standards meeting.

I commuted to Mountain View from Portland this morning and still got here earlier than some people who were stuck in Bay Area traffic. #iiw

Finally freed my @Flickr account from Yahoo!

I don't know exactly why, but this makes me way happier to keep paying for Flickr now.

Saying you can speed up software development by hiring more developers is like saying you can get planes to fly faster by adding more pilots.

Made it back to Portland! 🛬 Landing in an airplane is a lot more exciting if you think of it as a controlled fall. 🙈

Made it to Hannover after a dicey connection in Frankfurt. A 15 minute delay on a 45 minute connection, plus buses from and to the planes leaves exactly 0 minutes. Was last thru the gate. 😅

Made it to Barcelona! I keep trying to say simple words in Spanish, but instead the words keep coming out in German.

I'm having flashbacks to grade school where we switched between German and Spanish lessons every month and I always took a couple days to adjust.

I just got a notification that I can check in to my flight from Barcelona to Hannover, but I haven't even boarded my flight from Paris to Barcelona yet.

There should be a rule that you can't check in to a flight departing from a city you aren't even in yet.
