Weeknotes 153

Current status: Overwhelmed.

We had our first visitors to the new house this week, which was great. One of my fears was that I would never again see my friends so it was very nice to see some! I’m still getting used to living here, so I’m not sure how good of a tour guide I was, but I did my best and I think a good time was had.

Speaking of which, we bought a fuck-ton of houseplants to try and brighten up the house and make it look lived in. I like having a lot of plants around, they just don’t always like me.

I received the tiny computer I decided to buy for my UniFi controller needs. First impressions are that it indeed very smol. And it turns on. I will evaluate it more this week coming. The VESA mount I ordered for it also arrive and looks suitable for installing the tiny computer in a cabinet I already have setup.

The computer came with two DisplayPort ports, which I surprised me a bit. Guess who has every single display cable permutation except a DisplayPort to HDMI?

How to setup Heroku-like review apps on Fly – Heroku review apps are a killer feature so this is a welcome guide.

I thought this article on destructuring in Ruby was really interesting. The syntax is still strange to me so I’ve barely used the feature. I expect the Rubocop rules on my current project will have a problem with it for Very Good Reasons anyway.

Another visit at my old place next week - the final push hopefully. Each visit is a strange set of emotions.
