Happy Friday!

Happy Christmas Eve.

A year ago today I first started work on a version of the blog homepage sans WordPress. It was originally just an experiment, a proof of concept or potentially a lightweight front end to read the blog without so much overhead.

How far it's come.

@colinwalker I didn't realize we started our blogging systems at roughly the same time! Great work! It's been fun watching how our respective systems morph over time.

I've enjoyed watching your process, being completely different from mine, and how you have approached the various features you've added. It's always good to see how others tackle things, get new points of view and new ideas. Great work yourself 👍

I woke in an absolute panic just before 6am, heavy breathing, heart racing. I was dreaming that an ex-colleague had flipped out and was wandering around with an assault rifle hunting people, a duffle bag slung over his shoulder no doubt containing other weapons. Myself and others were running, trying to hide from him. And that was it, that's all I can remember. I don't know why or where we were although the place seemed to keep morphing between different styles of building.

I wonder what Jung or Freud would have thought of that.

@colinwalker Ugh, I hate dreams like that. The other night I had one where I was being harassed by a very in-my-face evangelical Christian – no idea where that came from!

@colinwalker I woke up this morning when our 5yo called me at 7:30, but was first annoyed, because I had to finish a task first in my dream:.... my wife and I were feeding a blanket we bought in Canada long ago into a paper shredder. It was somehow extremely urgent we get that woollen blanket into the shredder properly. So much so at first I felt I had to go back to bed to finish the dream :D

Hahaha, and I thought my dream was weird 😂
