Microposts

Bought one thing in the Black Friday sales. A domain name ready for new business developments in the new year. All hush hush for now ๐Ÿคซ

A day of conversations today. Potential collaborations in the day and reminders of the awesome supremacy of Jesus in the evening. I thank God for days like today.

Received my first Christmas card in the post today. In November. Ten days before December even starts.

I really need to reasses my weekend so Iโ€™m resting better. Not doing anything often feels worse than a full jam packed week.

Enjoyed beginning to look at a design refresh for this blog. Time it had itโ€™s own custom theme and a good chance to start trying out some CSS grid.

Iโ€™ve really enjoyed the Micro.blog photo challenge this past week. Itโ€™s been fun to have creative challenge totally unrelated to either of my jobs, I already have about four possible photos for the final days topic.

I seem to have inadvertently found myself on a streak of posting to my blog each day. Some small posts like this, some longer, and some photos. Aiming to make it more of a habit to share my thoughts there.

First day of trying to establish a new routine in my evenings that includes setting time aside everyday to read my bible. The quest to find discipline for things that matter is always tough.

Great to spend a bit of time at the end of the day learning more about CSS Grid. I can highly recommend downloading Firefox Developer Edition and following their intro.

Nothing like the internet being out to make you realise just how reliant you are on it.

Podcasts, coffee, and The New CSS Layout. A lovely way to start the weekend after a bit of a sleep in. As a web designer with a print background, this stuff is what dreams are made of.

Realised I rarely sit down to read web articles saved in my Instapaper these days. If I sit down to read, I read a book. Now find Iโ€™m saving articles I know need to read to my Things inbox. Odd how behaviours change.

Love the buzz when solving a coding problem that felt like it had me beat. Very satisfying not to have to resort to help requests just by showing a little more patience.

Started playing around with a new child theme for my blog yesterday. Considering mirroring my Goodreads read list in some way.

Good start to the day. A recurrence of my old back pain from about a year ago, just what I wanted.

Obligatory first post from Micro.blog for Mac. Nice to have access to the service from my Mac, just need to iron the issue of my posts not appearing there now.

Privileged to speak to those gathered at church this evening, praying that The Lord was/is at work through those words.

Realised this morning that I have too many websites so I want to simplify. Question, blog and portfolio together or on separate sites?

Didn’t register it was 9/11 until this evening thanks to the way we write the date here (11/9). 15 years on and I can still remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday. Some events live long in the memory.

England really are the most boring team to watchโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ด

Nothing better than having the test match on in the background while sorting out things in the flat.

Nothing like a bit of trouble shooting on the blog to disrupt a relaxed start to the day.

A bacon sandwich and coffee, the best way to start a sunny bank holiday Monday. #dayoff

NEVER change your Apple ID password. Complete hell hole.

Morning meeting in Bristol and then sampled some coffee from Small Street Espresso and Full Court Press. Both excellent ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

I’m gonna be in the centre of Bristol tomorrow, where’s best for #coffee?

One of the apps on my homescreen changed its icon colour. I know need to rearrange everything to make it look visually balanced.

Someone just tried to login to my Apple ID, iPhone alerted me, I’ve changed password and logged out of all other devices. Any other things I need to do?

Wow, these F1 posters are insanely good. Really love the illustration style.

Giving the new My Chill Mix from Apple Music a play this morning. Off to a promising start, the first track is both new to me and good.
