good news: i've discovered that i can work on my laptop on the main floor of my house and the puppy will sleep on his bed or the couch. i usually work in the basement on my desktop, but he seems to hate it down there? he won't sleep or relax, so i haven't been able to work for shit. but now... maybe i'll be able to catch up :thonk:

ok everyone's been mentioning it and i'm clueless & i hope you don't mind me asking, but what's the diff between chromes dev tools and say... dev tools of other browsers? i always glance over them and they seem similar to me but i also feel like i've only shallowed scratched their surface of them?

ah! i'm so glad you asked! there are a few things about chrome's dev tools that firefox hasn't caught up on. one aspect of chrome is its ability to track event listeners on each element, and the ancestors of that element; very handy for javascript debugging. another is chrome's performance tab; it tracks GPU and CPU usage, which is huge to help you identify why your web app is causing fans to spin up (such as if your page is caught in an infinite loop, as was the case at my last job). finally, chrome's local overrides are amazing. you can load in your own CSS or JS file and refresh the page to see that file in action -- firefox doesn't do this (yet), you have to redeploy to your server. i use that one often.

you might notice that most of these things are more helpful for javascript development. so if you're not into that so much, firefox's dev tools are, imo, better for HTML/CSS development. it's come a long way from the old firebug days.

edge is a fine browser, although it still has some odd and very specific bugs. at my last job, it was giving us grief with accessibility support for JAWS and a bit with javascript. but it's certainly an improvement over IE11 now that it's based on chromium, so i'll take it. the sooner internet explorer is wiped from existence, the better.


i can't give up chrome, though, because of the developer tools. no other browser even comes close. i intentionally have 32GB of RAM to feed chrome and adobe apps.

my puppy went on a practically perfect walk this afternoon. he stayed alert and focused at my side, no tugging or pulling on his leash, didn't eat (much) off the ground, didn't bark at anyone or any other dogs, and then took a nap when we got home.

i know this good behavior will likely regress as he enters adolescence, but boy am i proud to see him learning!

my hands and legs are covered in scratches and bite marks from rough-housing with my puppy

but have to teach him not to bite people for play, to be gentle

i got my wisdom teeth removed last friday and still all i want to do is sleep all day and eat pudding
do that! it's fine, no one would blame you. just stay away from straws!!

i didn't do or say anything funny after i woke up from my wisdom teeth surgery, i was only loopy during the time it took them to get me to the recovery chair. :( by the time we walked out the door about 20 minutes later, i was completely lucid and very grumpy. here's the video my husband recorded, which is mostly unintelligible because of all the gauze stuffed in my mouth.
