The two-week heat wave brought extreme fire risk to Galicia and now Ourense province is on fire. 10% of it, 727 square kilometers, has already burned. The fires of Chandrexa and Maceda merged and is now the biggest fire ever on record. Neighbors are organizing volunteer groups via WhatsApp and some villages are left alone to battle the flames, without any firefighters. Many are feeling useless given the situation.
Notes
Shifting Goal(post)s
While I’ve really enjoyed the human, social aspect of my job, talking with podcasters all day, the web development itch returned a few weeks ago. I eventually want to learn more HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and TypeScript) to migrate this blog over to something like Lume, but I think it’s still beneficial for me to understand WordPress in a more technical way.
This site’s theme is pretty old, but I love the typography and simplicity. I’ve been tinkering with a child theme and re-added the Aside post type and styled it a bit differently than normal posts. Can you tell I like the notecard and highlighter vibe?
I want to try some mini-projects with Seriously Simple Podcasting or Advanced (or Secure?) Custom Fields too.
Rendición
Grant me surrender to embrace what You have woven,
The strength to stir the waters where my hands may flow,
And the vision to see through the veils of what is mine to sow.
Bird Brained
Thank you, Elon, for all the chaos in your Twitter acquisition; I deactivated my (X?) account a few weeks ago after not being on there since December-ish. I don’t care about anything else you’ve done but you finally got me off that site.
I’d also like to thank myself for not having that much interest in replacing it with another thing like it.
Less input from complete strangers gives me more space and less noise in my head to just be.
Mi Tío Vaquero
Mi tío falleció inesperadamente anoche. Era duro, con un rasgo estoico/vaquero, difícil. También, amaba a su gente mucho; un buscador de conocimiento, en su manera, que lo llevó desde los campos de Oklahoma hasta el Río Jordán y de vuelta.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
