Just double-clicked a .vsd file in Windows Explorer and it fires up Internet Explorer to open the file. I didn’t set the default. Then it starts lecturing me about Edge. I mean…

For my RSS to micropub implementation I needed to generate a decent slug in JS. I found this slugify.js gist by codeguy to which a coder called thierryc made some really nice modifications (but weirdly didn’t publish their own that I could find).

I tested thierry’s code in jsfiddle and found it left a trailing ‘-‘. Using the fiddle I was able to step through the code and see where it went wrong. I just added an extra replace and it worked for me.

I’ve never really found a use for jsfiddle or gists before so this felt good.

After that, if I never have to deal with any JS again in my life it might be too soon!

It would be fair to say I was an Apple “hater” for years. Purveyors of staggeringly over-priced, aesthetically pleasing gadgets with mediocre features. But they have VERY slowly won me over.
