Breakfast at home: one egg and sausage patty with white cheddar on Model Bakery english muffin, side of half banana, hot water. Walked and rode Muni to Recharge Medical. Continued dev website build. Notably, Gantry 5 had some nice features, but I abandoned it because (a) it occasionally seemed buggy (wrong behavior when saving), (b) its additional layer was more of a hindrance than a benefit, and (c) dragging items in the layout tab was not intuitive and took a long time to accidentally learn its nuances (e.g., there's a big difference between dragging the handle of a particle and the icon within that particle). It was impossible for me to figure out how to set up multiple menus with support for multiple languages. Helium's only menu configuration was horizontal when I needed vertical. The things I liked: automatic support for scss, easy insertion of SVG logo, visual representation of page layout. It's possible it could grow into something I could use, but probably not for a while. So back to Grav alone. Began child theme of Learn2. Walked to lunch and back: Upfordayz: honey mustard turkey sandwich, hot chai latte. Continued work. Walked and rode Muni home. Later Patrick and I walked to Detour for happy hour with a subset of The Syndicate. In attendance: Emery, John B, Patrick C, Timmy D, Scot B, Patrick R, and me. Afterwards Patrick and I visited The Academy for dinner: sausage and mushroom flatbread, chicken bites with mustard dipping sauce, drinks. We enjoyed chatting with Jess, Tommy, and Skylar. Walked home.
