Well, flu's going around. Decided to hit me hard today. Perfect fucking timing too, right when my best friends have their show's performances (tonight was opening night).

Also today I got a message from a college recruiter (for the one I actually want to go to) wanting to schedule an interview. I ended up explaining my situation to him and he understood, so that'll probably happen sometime next week.

I can say that my web dev adventures have been going fairly well today, at least the time I've been able to work on it (kinda been fading between sleeping and working all day). JavaScript is..kinda dumb sometimes, but nothing I can't handle. Almost started hitting things cause CSS was being dumb earlier with aligning. Overall, it's going well.

I still fucking hate being sick.

@devTea I took your suggestion started using flex today. That actually solved the main aligning problems I had today. Haven't done grid yet, but flex has helped a bunch already.

Get well soon! And good luck with that interview :)

So while I've been sick, I decided to build a nice little startpage after seeing some on reddit.

I've done mostly frontend design on it so far, the opposite of what I normally do. Cause I normally would have put together the backend first then had it direct to the frontend after I build it. I haven't done any like pretty design or anything yet cause it's not done functionally, a lot of it is placeholders until I have a functional version. But as stuff gets more and more functional, stuff will get filled in.

Currently working on a weather forecast using the OpenWeatherMap API. I even got a little fancy and used local storage to store the API key and city ID. Just need to work on parsing the feed now. It even automatically prints the dates!

GUYS I'M JUST SO PROUD OF THIS I'LL SHARE IT WHEN I'M DONE

@CoffeeNcode I JUST FINISHED THE WEATHER FORECAST AND HOLY SHIT I HATE THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN BUT IT FUCKING WORKS

It takes just over a second to get everything loaded, partially due to the fact that it has to get two files and parse them, then set the elements' text. Gonna add icons next.
