I had to leave before the end to run for a train, but I presume our team "PEPEroni" won yesterday's #ReactAdvanced pub quiz, right?

Nerdtacular highlight of the day so far: Erik Rasmussen using a custom renderer to render a React app to two lightbulbs with a complete state machine #ReactAdvanced

I'm playing with Eleventy at the moment and finding its dev server really quite uncooperative.
