The beginning of a great adventure

In one of his most recent albums Lou Reed sings about having a child, I seem to remember, but anyway, at one point he sings "it's the beginning of a great adventure", pretty much what I feel today.

What have I done today?

I've finished the two first tracks on freeCodeCamp. There are two areas that did not exist in 96 when I started creating web sites. I need to focus on them:

• css variables
Done on the 15th, see adventuresintechland.css
• media queries

The lessons are here: https://learn.freecodecamp.org

I put two notes in emacs regarding those items, with links to W3Schools, for further reference.

Here are the links:

• https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_variables.asp
• https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries.asp
• https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries_ex.asp

I also need to install some kind of auto-completion for html/css on emacs.

To create this file, I used my "<text file" applescript that does a "touch" on the front Finder window and proposes to open the created file in Emacs. It used to be BBEdit but I modified that today. I'm putting the script here too.

<text file.html

Now I'm going to write a nice beginner css for this html and commit everything to GitHub, then back to work.
