Woke up tired this morning. Eldest is going through some night terrors so he slept in my bed last night. He wanted to be right next to me the entire night. Little kicking legs and flailing arms does not make for a peaceful slumber. I used to get night terrors when I was his age so I know what he's going through the poor little bugger.

It's Monday so the day starts earlier than usual to deal with casenotes. The process has improved dramatically over the past couple of months and I don't need to chase up nearly as many people.

Into the office was a success, did a good variety of work to keep things interesting. I did my first real code review today. I'm pretty sure I managed to communicate it in a way where I was focusing on helping the person improve and not criticising their effort. At least I hope I did.

I've been investigating how many people actually look at this site. I've enabled Google Search Console and noticed some immediate errors, will attempt to fix them soon.

Also realised that the APH Streams script has not run for over 3 months because the URL of the first page had changed - I need some sort of notification mechanism if things don't work properly. I'm starting to feel motivated to finish off my plan of collating all the parliament house streams across Australia into a single page.

After looking at all the different parliament stream websites... sigh. It's going to be a tough slog to get them all out but I'm determined. I think I'll make an article similar to the Companion Card Directory article, and rate each parliament by how easy it was to get the information I need.

I created the scraper for Tasmania tonight, and tomorrow I'm in luck because multiple parliaments are in session, so I can save copies of what the broadcast pages will look like on days when events are occurring.

Did some busy-work with this website after that, including making the sitemap.xml file more robust and adding robots.txt and humans.txt files.

I think I hit a parenting milestone today, on a single session at the change table I wiped up 5 discharges from the same child:

whew. Poor young one going through conjunctivis and a nasty cold at the same time. They've also discovered their gag reflex so have quite enjoyed shoving hands down the throat to test it out.

End of financial year is coming soon which means updates to systems at work. I've done this a couple of years now so it shouldn't be too difficult, right?
