Week 18
Started the week off on another holidays so we (Mercy and I) decided to get out of the house this time and go finally try out IBOM ICON Hotel & Golf Resort and logged in one of the rooms. We’ve both been in Uyo for some years (for Mercy even much longer than myself) we've always wondered what lodging there would be like. I guess we’ll finally know. Honestly, we weren’t that impressed. We didn’t see much reasons why it's regarded as a 5 stars hotel. I think the quality of service can easily be derived from just a 3 star hotel. I expected more in terms of service and also space for the amount of money paid to book a room. We initially planned for 2 days but I'm happy we only committed to try a single day first.
After the complete migration of PHPSandbox to Inertia, it wasn't a surprise to start seeing some bugs appear out of nowhere. I spent some parts of the holiday trying to squash some of the bugs discovered. Most of them are things that needs a little adjustment because of the new system. An example is the Login / Logout redirects which broke because of the difference in how Inertia Routing and Vue Routing works. I also discovered our Google Tag / Analytics was broken and events are no longer being reported for some reasons. Another major thing that was partially affected is the SEO which took some time to do right now that we can control some part of the Meta tag generation from the Laravel app.
On the bright side, I took some moment to look into how we can generate dynamic OG / Twitter card images for our notebooks and for the secret project i've been working on. I was able to see an existing solution made by Varcel to easily make this possible.
I finally watched the Moon Knight Series after all the social media memes 😂. I like the story line blended with some Egyptian lores. More importantly I like how Oscar Isaac was able to act multiple personalities.
Speaking of movies, I watched Dr. Strange In the multiverse of madness the day after watching Moon Knight just to be sure I didn't miss anything in the Dr. Strange movie looking at how Marvel movies are mostly linked. Even though I didn't expect how certain things in the movie turned out it was a nice watch with action from start to the end.
I had the chance of receiving some of my friends from Lagos, who I met in HNG Internship , in Uyo - David, Michael, Kingsley and Thelma. We managed to checkout the golf course at IBOM ICON here in Uyo while they were here. We biked around the golf course while pausing to see some of the green fields. I was glad they enjoyed every bit of it.
I wrapped the week by attending Namnso's wedding, the main reason my initially mentioned friends came into Uyo. I haven't attended a wedding event in a long time and this was an opportunity to go experience one again.
