Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.8 includes a new Queue widget. It works like the CP does, in that if a job is waiting in the queue it will attempt to run it on page load and it will display the status of the queue.
You can also manually run the queue or jump to the Queue Manager.

My only regret in getting my VW EV was drinking the kool aid and getting the VW EVSE (from Electrify America).. The software has been horrible and at this point there's no point in trying to reconnect it to my Wi-Fi since even that process is bungled.

Kicking off my vacation giving my birdfeeder a little TLC after the squirrels got to it a few months ago.

When authoring or consuming a web component that exposes styles via CSS custom properties, should a file like this be converted use the `@property` at-rule and enforce types on each variable?
Is there a downside in doing this?

It took me 20+ years, but I finally watched Drumline last night. It was both totally what I expected, but also better than I expected for a movie at that time. Overall I enjoyed it 🥁

I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it".
Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

By default, Admin Bar Component scrolls horizontally when you have too many items on it, but with a little CSS you can stack the items inside the buttons area. The next update to Admin Bar Component will fix things like the logout button to make this look better.

Noodling around with another Admin Bar feature to save Craft CMS developers a few clicks. Enable the debug toolbar on the front end from the front end.

This week I threw this silly thing together to help my youngest learn to type and to practice spelling the handful of words his teacher sends home every week.
It started off as a tiny input and button thing, but I kept adding things to it. 🦖🦕🎢

🥃 Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.7.1 is out with a quick update to how API requests are displayed. The progress bar now fits the theme you choose and flashes to green when a successful API request is made. It'll flash red on error (like when Admin Bar can't reach the CMS).

Yay or nay?
POV: you make an API call from your admin toolbar and the toolbar is a visual progress bar.
The attribute values for this can be:
Display progress in blue: 0-99
Success in green: 100
Failure in red: -1
