I really want to reply ‘me too’ but I won’t stoop to that kind of bawdy ‘humour’.

Make sure you rank your Interop preferences!

I urge you to boost "synthesis for font-variant-position" and "CSS break-after and break-before properties"

Oh Jake, you must be having a hard time of it. I can imagine you using the 'big picture' pun in one of your most excellent talks :-)

Sadly the 'gobful of ire' was aimed at Emma Watson's stand for trans people, rather than Rowling's hateful rhetoric.

And that’s my problem with it. That and this and previous governments’ handling and understanding of anything vaguely ‘digital’.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with @bell.bz and @allthatmalarkey.bsky.social in the latest episode of Unfinished Business. We talked about indie publishing; pivoting to side-hustles; music & vinyl; and tried to answer how one becomes a web designer nowadays.

If in doubt ask for a cortado and you might get close. Better still you might even end up with a cortado!

I'd be remiss not to mention clearleft.com although we use 'Menu' rather than a burger. Same pattern though, I think.

Got to keep my kids away from that shit, especially now #1 is starting GCSEs.

All credit to the cycling Katie! It's such a great sport/pastime and brilliant for shedding kg without really trying. Great for the 'soul' too if you can get away from the traffic and into the countryside.
