when you've been asked to say a timer to remove the tea bag and you are working and beeing too lazy to look for your phone

Right now is the best time to call customer support! Most people are watching the Super Bowl! And then go to your groceries at an empty Costco
I've been playing around with @zero.rocicorp.dev ! The data management is so easy that I can spend time polishing the UI with nice little effect 🤩
@paoramen.com Your bookmark feed on fika.bar is crazy, it really matches my interest and for most of the items, I'm thinking: "I would have click on this article too" :D I'm not sure if you are already aware but the blogmark contains an 'undefined' which breaks the links!
v4 is out for @tailwindcss.com! The update I'm looking forward to is to be able to find the colors page quickly 🤣
I didn't pay attention that the rankings sync broke since Charlie arrived to Les Sables d'Olonne ! But it is fixed now
back into my most consistent side project: my RSS reader ! The database crashed over New Year, not sure why but at least after a restart, it is way faster! Also added a query to show interval between entries for feeds. This is for my blog, I'll be below 30 for 2025 !
Slow progress but added rankings when playing a video. It is hard to make it work for desktop/tablet/mobile but I found a good compromise.
Finally showing the skipper position on a globe when playing the video. It is more or less since we don't know when the videos were recorded but it is probably accurate enough -/+ 24 hours. #vendeeglobe
Not my best F1 season but it was a fun journey code-wise! I migrated everything to run on @cloudflare.social: Pages, Workers, and D1. 3 months to add a few features: tweak scoring, and/or add logged out experience!
While skippers are entering the Indian Ocean, the F1 season is wrapping up and after running motp.oertel.fr for 3 years now, it is time to add a little surprise at the end of the season. Recharts makes it so easy! I'm the green line, great start but not doing well since Silverstone! #recharts #f1
I missed Louis Burton retiring from the race, I only learned when watching Sam's video. So I added a little section if a skipper retired in the last 24 hours! Perks of building your own tool
is there a way to tell: "don't bother, I'm not running wordpress on this server" ?
Enjoying my Friday off to work on the next feature for onboard-videos.com. Now that we have the historical data we can show it on a map ! I haven't use d3js.org for years but it is playing nice with react now
Evening feature for onboard-videos.com Rankings! First pass at it anyway, I'm aiming to add changes in the last 24 hours. Also it was to get the mechanism to get data, and now we can start playing around with it...🌍 #vendeeglobe
it is finally ready to be shared after the race started 2 weeks ago: onboard-videos.boertel.workers.dev a website to follow Vendée Globe videos of skippers. It keeps track (on your browser) on what you've watched ! Let's see how many features I add until the end of the race #vendeeglobe
On Board 🎥
Follow Vendée Globe 2024 On-board Videos
onboard-videos.boertel.workers.dev
I might have found a way to have Astro on a Cloudflare Worker with cron job! If it works, I'll drop my vanilla spaghetti code, and move to an UI framework
I hate youtube UI so much I always have to build an app on top of it ! This one is to follow Vendee Globe On Board videos shared by skippers every day!
I need to get a new picture of me and my computer in a random place! My profile pictures is getting old
