I'm doing a landing page from scratch at work. I don't do a ton of frontend work these days, besides site updates for a few people, and some WordPress builds, so it's fun to dig in to good old raw HTML/CSS/JS with a little jQuery and Bootstrap sprinkled in.

If my appointment is at 11 and you say to be there 15 min early, then my appointment is at 10:45. Just say that.

I sent in my $1 and received a kick-ass pack of Sassy Shads from Mister Twister @TwisterFishing . I found the offer on the back of a very old lure package, and as a joke, sent in my dollar. No joke...I can’t wait to try out the baits.

I'm not really interested in watching the fight, but I'm interested in IF I can watch the fight. Nope

When your work, freelance, personal "to do" list is staring you in the face and you just want to skip it all and fish.

[Troy Thibodeaux @troythibodeaux]

@Bob_Schneider never fails to deliver.

Recorded original music and hung out with friends, had drinks and watched live music with my best friend and wife, caught fish, spent time with family, ate a steak, ate pizza, ate a cookie, learned some Spanish, went for a run....life is good.

How do you make a $1.50 frozen pizza taste like a $3.50 frozen pizza? You add $2 worth of stuff to it. You're welcome.

You ever write more comments than actual code? I wrote some code last year, and it's taking me minute to figure out what I wrote, so I want to comment, which I should have done in the first place. But it's a long explanation for just a little code.

Anyone use or is using the Emailify plugin for Figma? I can't find any examples of the code it produces.

Just when I thought the fish were winning... boom. I like mixing in some "catching" with my "fishing".

Probably late to the game...again, but just asked ChatGPT to write some AMPscript that functions like an array, which AMPscript doesn't have arrays. It gave me a really interesting example using BuildRowsetFromString(), then loop through the row. #emailgeeks #emailgeek #email

headline:
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Confirm RUSH Touring Plans With A New Drummer

Article does not confirm anything. Geddy says “It’s not impossible, but at this point, I can’t guarantee it.”

You got me you clickbait bastards. Fooled again. #rush

[Troy Thibodeaux @troythibodeaux]

Great show last night with @MattTheE Matt the Electrician. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you should know.

And, in case you were wondering....tacos are good. Al pastor and chorizo. Sabe bien!

[Troy Thibodeaux @troythibodeaux]

You ever get way deep in a project and realize you could have/should have coded it differently...but now you are too far gone to go back and change things? Not that it's wrong, but there's a better way... there always seems to be a better way. #emailgeeks #emailgeek #email

New tune by Billy Joel (Turn the Lights Back On). Really good song. #BillyJoel
