Tech — Work — Ramblings

by Mike Kalvas

I see you're not using JavaScript (which is awesome!) on one of my pages that uses it to provide a better experience. If you see something not working right, please let me know. My site should work exactly the same without it apart from any exceptions noted here.

I use prism.min.js to do syntax highlighting. It clocks in at 23kb total in size. Since the majority of the writing I do involves coding, I personally find this to be a worthwhile trade off. If you choose to keep this disabled, rest assured, the code examples are still there, they just may have some extra whitespace and obviously no syntax highlighting.

I do no tracking at all and am a zealot about keeping my pages as small as possible. If you're reading a page of mine that transfers more than about 250kb over the wire (including my most gratuitous indulgence — fonts) I've messed up.

So, if you'd like to have a slightly richer experience, consider enabling javascript for my site and I promise your trust won't be misplaced.

Making a Fitbit Sense Watch Face

Time for a Better Watch

There are a lot of good first- and third-party watch faces out there for the Fitbit Sense, but none of them are exactly what I want.

Motivation

There are a lot of good first- and third-party watch faces out there for the Fitbit Sense, but none of them are exactly what I want. So instead of putting up with something slightly sub-optimal, I'm taking a look at what it takes to develop my own. Being a programmer is great isn't it?

This post is still a work in progress, but as I've said, I'm working on showing off more works in progress.
