Blog2024 ≫ Back to work today

Well not actually out of the house or anything crazy like that, but out of my sick bed, and down to the study to work. Managed to get the bit of work I needed live today live in the end. I left instructions (bad instructions) for someone else to do it to help me out but they were such bad instructions he had no chance. I thought if he could start it off it would help me out and I could just finish it and put it live. If I had started the work I'd need someone else to approve it, but if someone else starts it I can make any changes I like, approve it, put it live, everything. However I'd told him completely the wrong system to make changes on and caused great confusion.

I got some help on the bit of my "new relic as code" that was confusing me, trying to work out how incorporate this thing that makes schemas into my typescript in a non clunky way. My fault was using typescript as the source of truth and then trying to build a runtime scheme out of that. It worked, but it was a bit weird. If I build the schema first then that can be exported as a type instead, so the schema is the source of truth, and then the typescript is like a side effect of that. It works nicely. Not that I am warming to typescript yet, not really.

Think we're about to watch the new series of Time Bandits on TV. Then, the week is just about over isn't it? Trying to think of something to do on Saturday for our birthday. We have given up on Brighton as it's going to take about three hours to get there and three hours to get back, so we'll probably go to London instead. We can be there in an hour. I'm looking for a gaming arcade for the boys, but there really aren't many any more.
