• Submitted and got my first PR for Hacktoberfest merged.

• For my Where in the World project I figured out how to get history working properly with React Router. I also fixed an issue I had with lazy loading and did some refactoring of the code.

• Got a new pair of glasses so I can see everything clearly again. 🤓

Got 5 new contributors to my project and finished Text to speech in my app.

My win was making my first ever substantive open source contributions. It felt like a double win when they were approved and merged!

I rebuilt the bathroom floor and replaced the toilet in the house we recently bought. Found out the toilet had been leaking, probably for several months. There are a few pictures in the tweet:

Bought a house 3 weeks ago. Spent part of last week and the weekend rebuilding a bathroom floor and replacing the toilet. Old toilet had apparently been leaking for quite a while. Wood layer between subfloor and tile was soaked/crumbly. #surprise #homeprojects

Mhm, this week has been awesome. My contributions to this wonderful community basically exploded

9 Projects you can do to become a Frontend Master in 2020

My win this week ... well, there were a couple ... but the one that's exciting me most at the moment, and which I will write about soon is figuring out how to load an entire dotnet assembly tree into ClearScript without having to include it in the solution.

So now I can create a folder somewhere, run

nuget install %1 -Framework net46 -Dependency Highest

where %1 resolves to, say, WordPressPCL, and watch all the related packages install. Once that's done I can create a WP.assemblylist file and put the aforementioned folder path in it on line 1 followed by the topmost DLL name on the second line, e.g.

C:\Packages\WordPressPcl
WordPressPCL.dll

When I run my ClearScript-enabled CLI, it loads WordPressPCL.DLL and all its dependencies into the JavaScript engine and lets me do stuff like

var client = new WP.WordPressPCL.WordPressClient("http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/");

I can see all kinds of possibilities for this to extend the reach of the CLI exe without amping up the size of the core EXE.

Worked through a statement of work to start a new consulting project. I’ll be helping a client in the education sector update the architecture of their web apps to some newer technology, and showing them the basics of DevOps. Really nice client (I’ve worked on an iPad app for them before). I’m grateful for the opportunity.

I created a PR to fix a bug in Vuetify (one of the, if not the, biggest Vue.js UI frameworks) and it was MERGED!

It was a relatively small PR/fix but given how massive and widely used the framework is I'm pretty pumped to have been able to contribute.

Realising - holy crap! - I have around 7.5k followers on this platform! How on earth did that happen??

Have been pretty depressed / burned out lately, so decided to go back to one of my happy places, #Japan! If you're in #Fukuoka at the beginning of November and want to meet up, let me know, especially if you're into #Ruby / #rubyonrails :-)
