I'm always on the look out for distractions cool new things! This is the third year, so you can also checkout the examples from before.
Yesterday, I forgot to make the first line of my media review on a movie a title. It actually looked pretty good in the timeline(s). I think I’ll continue to do so but I’ll put my review before the description of the media.
🍿 Something from Tiffany’s (2022) - ★★★☆☆
Rachel and Gary are happy enough but not quite ready for that big commitment. Ethan and Vanessa, the perfect picture, are just about to make it official. When a simple mix-up of gifts causes all of their paths to cross, it sets off a series of twists and unexpected discoveries that lead them where they’re truly meant to be.
A pretty solid romcom. I enjoyed watching this with my wife. Sometimes we don’t get a chance to watch a lot of films so this one was something that we both picked. What was interesting was my wife thought I didn’t like romcom, but I do. It reminds me that there’s always room for romance and the way that I think of romance is not the only correct way of doing it.
I really recommend this for someone who wants something a little lite and a little fun. I enjoy the fact that the people inside the movie weren’t all bad. In some romcoms, you have these archetypes are just that way so the audience doesn’t like them. They do things that are really really dishonest or social unacceptable and don’t feel bad when they aren’t part of the happy ending. In this film, the side characters had their faults but they weren’t bad people; they just made some bad decisions or they just grew apart from the leads.

I had a couple things I wanted write about things today. Just couldn’t do it.
Sometimes, I like to sit in front of my computer and wonder about what I’m going to make next.
I love the fact that Game Pidgin still works.
There was something about this chair.
Wife likes having the dog in bed with us. I woke up at 3:30AM after getting kicked in the back.
Labarum: Optionals
A small but pretty cool v1.2.18 of Labarum. This will allow the Reply by email for Micro.blog, Reply on Mastodon, and Conversation on Micro.blog plugins to look like they belong on the page.
The next step will be to add a little more padding to the <div> that contains the links and to get the embed for the Tinylytics-for-Micro.blog plug to work correctly as well.
How does labarum add optionals?
There are truly great web designers here on Micro.blog and one of them is Matt Langford. He’s got a wonderful theme called Tiny Theme.
In it, he has different logic to test whether a certain plugin is installed and then perform logic for it.
{{ if templates.Exists "partials/reply-by-email.html" }}
<li>{{ partial "reply-by-email.html" . }}</li>
{{ end }}
With labarum, I place these all in one <div> and hope that the underlying plugin doesn’t decide to add multiple lines some day in the future.
I’m using the browsers nature of not rendering the empty block elements.
What about tinylytics for labarum?
I ran into an issue when I attempted to add the tinylytics plugin for Micro.blog to the theme like the other plugins. Most likely a user error on my end caused by a conflict between when I initially added tinylytics and this plugin.
I didn’t want to have this update halted while I attempted to fix this.
As always, feel free to contact me with any and all feedback.
Just a little trip to the vet.
