Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here!
I am your host, Jill Menning, serial hobbyist, notorious plotter and schemer
Here's what I've been up to lately:
The colors show much better in daylight

Spinning again. Some mystery cotton that's probably at least three levels of hand-me down from the source. It looks to be white cotton, natural brown cotton, and dyed blue (indigo?) in a commercially-sourced sliver. Spinning on an EEW Nano 2, which looks like a toy but spins great off a USB battery.
Lots of fiber in my stash comes from other spinners destashing. If you're in the Houston area and need cotton to spin, @ me and I can share the bounty.

When I am in the middle of an interesting project, I genuinely enjoy working on those days when the office is a ghost town.
Like today, Thanksgiving eve - not one single chat ping or meeting to interrupt me. Just steady, quiet progress on my main task. So satisfying.
I've been posting a lot of tech-nerd stuff. Here, have one of my favorite photos from a recent trip up to Alaska

An example of a web component solving an actual problem in my PHP-based site:
I like to write posts using Markdown
But my markdown parser does not run any PHP code in a markdown string, so my PHP image gallery component won't work
Web components to the rescue!
Here's a PR: https://github.com/aseradyn/flagon-with-a-dragon/pull/24/files
Working page (CW bugs): https://jmenning.com/webdev/test
Web component + router updates to load the component if it's needed per page
Kudos to @mia for leading me down this rabbit hole this evening
