Notes from my week.
- My youngest daughter celebrated her birthday this past week. We had family in town for part of it, and she had a birthday party on Saturday.
- Some kind of cold/flu has been going through our family. My daughter had it and missed three days of school, and now I’ve been dealing with it.
- Trying out the DuckDuckGo Mac browser. It’s beta and doesn’t have the ability to use any plug-ins or extensions yet. What makes it interesting is that it’s another WebKit browser as opposed to Chromium.
- Working on my bragdoc. Trying out Nunjucks macros in Eleventy for the first time.
