Allie

Yesterday:

  • Did another review of Jen's PR for removing duplicate queue jobs
  • Updated my Qubes Workstation - one nice-to-have feature would be to add a warning when there's no internet connection just because you might end up wasting 30 minutes for the updater to run to the end before it tells you about a failure with no indicator to check your internet connection

Today:

  • Once staging is back up and running, I can test a fix for the bug Kushal found in my stylesheet PR
