Weeknote #2

At work

• I have enjoyed working at different ends of the spectrum this week, from wireframing to finding solutions to technical problems
• Finally, 2 reams of A4 paper arrived - I managed to print out a few key planning documents which were placed onto the walls of my studio. I've missed having an accessible project wall to glance over
• I decided to start writing case studies as I work through a project. I'm hoping this means the content will be better and the turn around will be faster

After work

• Learnt more about the Content Security Policy header. I decided to set the header through a module in Craft CMS and not at server level. This means I don't have to keep the policy wide open for the control panel to function. It also dawned on me how complicated nonces and hashing inline content can be
• I have made a personal rule never to deploy to production after midnight ever again after I spent the twilight hours fixing a personal project

Links and inspiration

• Robbie Andrews hacked together a COVID-19 tracker using data from the Government of Jersey's open data portal
• Flavio shared a HTML trick you can use to show a different image in dark mode
• The British Museum makes 1.9 million images available for free (via IanVisits)
• Enjoyed Klawe Rzeczys' dreamy collage work for The Economist

Life

• I channeled my inner Videl Sassoon and plucked up the courage to cut my sons hair, armed with a pair of kitchen scissors
• The French Government announced easing of the lockdown restrictions. From the 11th May we'll be able to roam within 100km of our house without having to sign an "attestation" form. Information about the schools going back remain vague
• I have been thinking about the possibility of British Airways closing its Gatwick hub and what impact that might have on our little anglo-french family
