Progress

A regular work week. Sounds boring.

Had calls with two old friends and met another one. Amazing! So glad to meet my people.

Started work on the company's Christmas cards. Phew!

Libraries, programming, etc

• MailCatcher: "MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run mailcatcher, set your favourite app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025 instead of your default SMTP server, then check out http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the mail that's arrived so far." Super useful!
