This week, I finally managed to customize my Jekyll blog on Github Pages, the way I wanted to! Yeeeeyyy
😀

This week, I...

Broke into Champion League in Fortnite, and have been crushing it with students lately. Had my first student at my new pay rate just now doing some oldschool Wordpress php and managed to fix his problem really quickly. That felt good :)

This week, I improved Frozonic by enabling users to add branch targets so that code freeze only runs for specific branches. Try it out if you haven't!

I've just discovered another win for me (I hope no one minds the double post). My parents have a Google Home Assistant and, on a whim, I thought I'd try to get it to play one of my podcasts.

AND IT WORKED!

Here's a tweet showing it off:

Did you know that you can do this with either a Google Assistant or the Google Now app?
Its really easy to set this up, and only requires that you set up your website correctly (and include a small number of meta tags).

It isn't that difficult to do, but requires certain things to be baked into the markup of the site - which I've provided since day one of each of my shows.

Hmm this week I don’t have any specific wins for learning programming. Just more freecodecamp, reading, and tomorrow doing some precoursework for my bootcamp. 10 days till it starts.

I learned a new ukulele song this weekend, so that’s a win. 😹

Also got to see my friend for the first time since she moved to Colorado last October, and we watched End Game (both for the 2nd time), which is like a double-win.

Some more Dev.to swag I ordered was delivered. Got the adorable Sloan in peach. More heather peach gear! That color rocks.

From a DevOps perspective, helped our engineering team build, test & release 4 new production applications

This week, I prepared a PR for an Apache Incubator project. It was under-prepared, rushed, and I'm still tidying it - but it still felt like a win.

Finally had time to code for one of mine side project making it almost ready for the first release :D
