8 hours of sleep. 8 hours working as an unprofessional front-end developer. Then on my other 8 hours I poke my blog, take photos of my cat & try my best.

Yes! This is it. Don’t over engineer it. Don’t overthink it. Just publish it!

Thanks @strange.website

And we ended the day with the @bell.bz - I’d seen this talk before and it always hits right. Especially as someone who works in different projects all the time, there’s always something that sparks your brain to reflect on the current thing you’re working on. Also, matchy matchy with #LoopConf
Andy standing on stage while the title of their talk “get the core right and the resilient code will follow” is projected behind them.

I really enjoyed this talk from Juliette. A sobering reminder of how so many profitable companies benefit from open source but don’t help. How life happens and the people being those projects are human too.

Being kind and patient in the moment is a life hack. Everyone benefits from it. Ask me how I know!
Thanks for you talk @rosswintle.uk #LoopConf

Thank you so much everyone at @smashingconf.com ❤️ I will be at the after-party and around all day tomorrow! Please come say hi as I am sure by buddies could use a break from me 😁

Slides will also be shared soon.

I love this photo!

I'd like to understand a bit more how reader view works in different browsers. For example, I have an <aside> inside an article that appears as expected in Safari's reader mode but not in Firefox's. As anyone written anything about this, particularly what is safe to use? Thanks!
Screenshot of a blogpost of mine in Safari where it renders the title, date, the aside mentioned and an intro photo. Screenshot of the same blogpost of mine in Firefox where it renders the main url, title, author, date, and intro photo without the aside that is meant to be before the photo.

Collage of seven photos of my cat Jessie standing by cat food with a candle on top. In each photo the candle number changes to represent the adoption anniversary. Except for year 6 as there was no numbered candles available so it is a normal candle.

This was my favourite slide from my talk at #MKGN yesterday. It was a great night - lovely venue, great people, and fantastic talks!
Thank you so much for listening to me and for all the wonderful chats 💙

One of the most unhinged decisions made by whoever lived in my house before me (besides the fuse box inside the staircase) is the deliberate choice to cheapen out on screws in nearly all the door hinges.

This happens in nearly everything! Even door handles!

On my way back to London after #PixelPioneers - Going through my photos and remembering how great the warm-up event at Just Eat was.

Really insightful and fun talks by @gerireid.com & @ashn.uk and @whitep4nth3r.com! Thank you 🧡

It's 2005 and this is the last detail you add to your fan site re-design that includes an amazing header image with the latest Photoshop brushes and textures trend. A trend that other teenagers were setting of course.
Screenshot from a scrollbar generator tool that would output the CSS. It allowed the visual styling of scrollbars from arrow colour, highlight colour, shadows etc. The image includes how a typical Internet Explorer scrollbar on Windows used to look like when customised.
