I started today by trying to tackle the small mobile layout issues I found last night. In the evening, I started reading about getting my Raspberry Pi Pico set up.

Mobile Layout Issues

Having a look at the mobile layout for the website reveals a couple of issues:

Firstly, the main site heading is covered by the centered avatar. There is also a random navigation button up the top right that has nothing in it.

I decided to shorten the main site title to R&C Lightbox as there are other references to the full name elsewhere. That addresses the first issue but unfortunately I was not able to find a fast and good solution to the second problem. My options would be to update the beautiful-jekyll theme with custom logic for mobile, or create an issue on the project itself asking the author to fix it. I am short on time so will leave it as is for now. If I do end up adding any other page types to the site, this will not be an issue as the navigation button will no longer be empty.

Raspberry Pi Pico

For a long time, I have wanted to make my way through the Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico book from Hackspace:

Like a few other things I have wanted to do for a long time, this project has given me the motivation to finally start.

I read about the different parts of the Pico and how to solder the header pins to it safely. This is what I will do first.
