Morning all - sun is shining here and I am wondering... What is the one thing that you have proud to have done recently (code or non code wise)
For me it's dabbling with something new that always makes me happy & excited. So I have been poking around CosmosDB and getting my head around all that.
n
I left the familiar surrounds of a very long-term job to take up a role with a company on the other side of the world 😜
o
Started a new package yesterday for U10.
w
What is it gonna do ?
o
It's something I built for a client so it will be released under the spindogs brand rather than my own package but it's a Glossary highlighter. You upload a CSV in the backoffice which has words and definitions, then every time that word appears on the front end, it gets highlighted and you can hover over the word to see the definition
w
Sounds a nice little thing to have/use 🙂
m
Rte forms packaging going into the core product, was a great feeling... I still need to go check it out 😃
s
Just released my ShareX Custom Uploader package. Helped me finally figure out how I should structure my pet-projects so I am able to package and release them.
w
I wasn't aware of that - congrats 🎉
So that's the desktop ShareX app uploading screenshots into Umbraco directly ?
s
Yes! I find it nice to have my screenshots a place that I control instead of placing them on services like imgur. That's why I created the package.

After having to cancel 3 of my 4 planned concert events this year due to various illnesses I finally made it to the 4th last weekend 🥳 Ending concert season on a win!
w
@Jemayn who did you get to see ?
s
@Jemayn Ed Sheeran? 😄
j
I missed out on Tool, Idles & Pearl Jam and a day at Copenhell, and made it to the festival Smukfest where I saw Bersærk, Melanie C and Thomas Helmig
o
Oh! I'd love to see Tool. Might need to put that on the office radio just now 😄
j
Same, hopefully there will be another chance!
n
I saw ol' Ed many many years ago, when he was touring his second album, and was thoroughly impressed. Also saw tool even further back, like 15 or so years ago. Crazy good, obviously, it's Tool.
o
I feel there is an Umbraco Heavy Metal fanclub needing formed 😄 Noticed Kim was at Rammstein not that long ago!
n
Haha yeah, that both surprised me and entirely did not suprise me.
o
It scared me more than anything - the thought of Kim in a moshpit! 🪓
s
I've also been CosmosDB'ing more recently and more GraphQL which is interesting. Now I need to learn some chartjs I think! I just don't know where to start with JS these days, I'm of the good-old let's download the library and put is in the
/js
folder but it seems I should be smarter about it 😅
w
I hear all the cool JS kids rave about Vite Seb !
s
Isn't that some kind of shaving cream?
Oh no that's Veet haha
n
node_modules is the coolest folder these days. If it's not at least 500mb, you're not doing it right.
m
I'm attempting to build a static website with content from the Umbraco CMS by parsing uSync's XML files.... XD
Non-tech wise... I'm looking forward to a short trip to Denver, CO. My wife and I go out there once a year to support a nonprofit group called The Marigold Foundation, and they put on a hell of a show at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Anyone a fan of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats? 🙂
l
Yes to " Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats"! goes to spotify immediately
s
Big fan, saw them live a few months ago so good
o
That's today's listening sorted 😄
