Notes
With his rare combination of design, development and leadership skills, if your team needs help building a digital product, grab hold of Jon before somebody else does!
Wasn’t able to cancel my gym membership, so spent an hour working out instead. The system works.
Okay, this little conundrum has pushed me beyond the limits of my programming ability. Anyone care to help me merge some objects and arrays?
Woke up this morning excited by the prospect of writing some unit tests. Send help!
Always difficult to compare new stuff with the old and familiar, but having watched the first episode of This Time twice now and laughed throughout both viewings, I think it’s safe to say Alan’s back! Incompetent and insecure, out classed and out of touch. Ah-ha!
Made a thing. With JavaScript. That works. 🤯
Still looking! Seeking an interaction design and/or front-end development role. Permanent or contract. Brighton, London or remote. Please share far and wide!
With regulators circling and others advocating a break up of the company, its understandable why Zuckerberg would want to tightly integrate Facebook’s three platforms. However, more promises broken, while the deep-rooted problems operating at scale remain. Shut this racket down.
Still digesting the content from yesterday’s @naconf, but in the meantime, I wish to thank @colly and @hellogeri for creating a space in which important and worthwhile topics could be addressed. Was a pleasure to be just a little part of it all.
Good evening Nottingham! It’s the night before @naconf. What ya doing? Who’s with ya?
Writing a blog post. Could somebody adjust the meter?
Every interview with a politician about Brexit:
Presenter: “So, what happens next?”
Politician: “Well, what happened was…”
Following @bradshawsguide and headed to Winchester.
Stan & Ollie is a love letter to two comedy maestros and their enduring friendship. With hilarious support from their wives (“two double acts for the price of one”), this funny and heartwarming film is not to be missed.
Remembering that one time in 2005 when I accidentally deleted a construction company’s website while moving some files around over FTP. Simpler times maybe, but not necessarily better times.
“Alexa, show me an example of moral bankruptcy.”
Finally quit my dilly-dallying and got my tickets sorted for this year’s New Adventures conference. See you there?
Seeking a hybrid design/front-end role with an organisation instigating meaningful change where I can make a worthwhile contribution. Not interested in disrupting the world, just improving it a little. Where should I be looking? Who should I be talking to?
Quite pleased with the accessibility improvements I’ve made to my site’s search form – aided enormously by the examples in WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices, which provide a real sense of the various interactions you need to account for when creating such complex components.
On this 11th day of advent, I return to 24 ways to extoll the virtues of Eleventy, my favourite software discovery of 2018.
