It ended the day for me. Off to a party at the Irish embassy, two days early. And I believe all is good now. ??

What a ghastly afternoon. Power cut 15 minutes before I was due to record an interview with someone in New Mexico. The power came on a minute later, but the iMac was moribund. Luckily I was able to use the phone to email him, and he was cool about rescheduling. But I was stuck with a dead iMac until I thought of searching support. Turns out this was a thing, and there is a procedure, and everything is alright again. But still,

Thanks. You just saved me $99

I've been looking at Coda2. It isn't easy to discover what it does. I downloaded the book too. Does it allow you to step through PHP and see the sate of variables? I spent the morning failing to get anywhere with Xdebug in VSCode and feel it would be as bad in Atom and PHPStorm. So maybe I'll just have to plug away with var_dump()s

Thanks. Will definitely investigate tomorrow.

I know this is probably an impossible question, but would you recommend Atom or VSCode as a starting point. I've been editing my PHP in BBedit and I feel about ready to to move up a little.

I refuse to go there.

Density.

Seconded.

Anyway, s'all good. Git did save me from myself, and all's well with the world, except that one of the bits that Grav CMS uses had a recent security update that broke the way it renders markdown outside the main text, for example in image captions and footnotes.

I can live with that, for a little while.
