Pretty disappointing proposals to change terms around UK visas, long term residency, and citizenship.

The way they're treating dependents feel especially cruel.

I loosely understood and liked CSS's "em" and "rem" units, but wanted to really wrap my head around them.

Most explanations have been pretty bad, but I found this CodePen that helps explain it:

I love videos that explode and explain songs and how they're made, so I've been delighted to find Captain Pikant.

Great video production value on top of really thorough and technical process.

Just saw the Running Man, which was fun, and what a funny use of Lee Pace. One of the biggest hunks (6'4") acting right now, and he's in a mask. Well done Edgar Wright.

There's a 10 year old and his mom who comes to my Saturday "knit & natter".

Today he sat next to me and asked for some help. I showed him how to purl, which lead to the stockinette, and then rib stitch patterns. It was fun, he was a quick study and easy going about the process. 🧶

I've been thinking about getting some mock-up templates for my portfolio, so my presentation looks a little more exciting than a basic screenshot…

and now AdSense is flooding my feed, like the demand is so low that when someone finally showed interest, these companies rush in like hungry wolves.

Thinking back to one of the more toxic teams I worked on, where a lead made his team keep their design docs in MS Word buried in some obscure Perforce folder.

Most of the files were collecting dust, but he was adamant about the docs, even though the game wasn't fun.
it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

Some light reading to help get to sleep.

And by "light" I mean ray-tracing, this book is almost 1200 pages and 4.5 lbs.

I think it's sweet that Rian Johnson and Edgar Wright seem to shout out and support each other's efforts.

One of the nice parts of getting back into web dev while reworking my portfolio has been rediscovering how good techno is as a backdrop while working:

Any advice on how to regulate your temperature in bed when it's too hot under the blankets 🥵, and too cold in the room to stick and arm or leg out 🥶?

I still haven't found that perfect balance of layering and the target changes a little each night as we inch into winter.😴

I've gone from happy to horrified to see new videos from @bennjordan.bsky.social pop up.

It's wild to see the platform decay of a country as the US builds a panopticon by paying huge sums to tech companies that make subpar products.

This tech is embarrassingly insecure.

Once I finish updating my portfolio I might have to look into trying to recreate some of these with modern web tech. 🤔

I really wanted to like Dept. Q, especially being based in Edinburgh, but it was a slog. I hope they find their feet in Season 2.

There were some good bits and characters, but for a show about paying attention to details, there were so many continuity issues.

Akram was great though.
