ACTUALLY they're not even emojis, they are unicode symbols. I set up the styling on this page so if I have a link to something like javascript or raspberry pi it will follow it with a little computer symbol. Brightens things up a little, and at no cost to me. They're not images when they leave my server, it really is one character just like a letter "a" or "b" but in this case it's the letter "💻". I have had various images in the page for a while, the ☠️ was the first one I used, but now I've gone a bit mad. If you view the source of this page you can see all that I'm automating.
Anyway I think I might have done a few too many now.
It's cold out there today, but we didn't have any snow around home. I cycled in, but as it was icy I went along the cycle path by the canal. Didn't fancy slipping on any ice on the roads and thought that would be safer, even if it's a bit slower.
It's nice and bright out there now, but not warm enough to melt all the ice. I don't think any more snow is due here but it looks like it may be a bit sleety on our drive tomorrow.
Pay day tomorrow, I'm ready for that. The plumber is now not coming, he asked if he could reschedule for Monday which is fine. I have a few things in my shopping basket ready to go, but only for the boys. £100 worth of Gravitrax addon sets! Hope they're arrive quickly, it will be like a second christmas for them...
Went on the treadmill this morning briefly, just to get my moneys worth.
js: Programming language of the internets, mostly how I make my living.
raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
