Hi, Using the following code from the Browser console: console.log(""); var images = $$("img"); for (each in images) { console.log(` <a href="${images[each].src}" data-size="4032x3024"> <img src="${images[each].src}" width="403" height="302" alt="Image description" /> </a> `); } console.log("</div>"); It will output a copy-paste ready code for integrating in your blog post and leverage the picture gallery. Warning Review the data-size to make it match the image size as PhotoSwipe requires it to match image and adjust the figcaption entry. ...

While I was working for a presentation for kid’s school at Magnetic field, Aurora, Lunar Phases and Rockets, I added 4 big videos to the presentation (as I was going to use them offline while presenting). I know what git is not the place for big binary files, and even Github proposed to use the LFS backend for that, but as it was just temporary, I went ahead.

Introduction on the new models I recently got the new Lego 2020 sets for the Speed Champions collection, which feature the new ‘8 studs’ wide. Overall impression is that it allows more details on the vehicles (and thus, it gets more pieces, now separated in the instructions in bags 1 and 2). The new baseplate allows enough space to hold two minifigs, but with a caveat, the side closer to the external place of the vehicle requires the minifig to have the arm lowered (not completely because it wouldn’t fit). ...

Introduction During last days I’ve been playing around with python and API access to Google Sheets. Since some time ago, I already experimented with ICS parsing from python because added https://t.me/redken_bot access to calendar files (.ics) so that it can provide daily reminders on chats about the events happening for the specific date, and had the chance to propose it’s usage to cover a specific use case: Accessing a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and parse its contents and output an ICS file so that the events listed and the dates specific for each one are available in an easier-to-consume approach. ...
