    This week’s #weekchips.

    The week starts with the bank holiday, so just a bit of video editing in the morning before my wife got up and I go spend the day with her.

    Tuesday adding two GitHub actions workflows to marknormanfrancis.com. One to auto-pull and generate entries for things I post to @norms_ps4, which then files them as a pull request. The other to generate and publish the site when the main branch is updated.

    This means I can edit and merge the PR and then publish the new entries on my site without touching a desktop computer. Which is nice.

    Wednesday and Thursday I spent putting marknormanfrancis.com and gifs.cackhanded.net behind Cloudfront so I can turn on HTTPS.

    And Friday I spent doing more video editing, learning how to properly use media bins, adjustment clips, and overlays in Davinci Resolve.

    After a month of being ill and then entirely unfocused it’s been nice to get back to spending days on deep technical dives.

    My brain feels like it is working again.

    Also, I cheated on the hard work I did last week removing stuff from my whiteboard and stuck a bit of paper back up again.
