I’ve already announced my new company half a dozen times by now. I figured it was about time I gave real details, so here’s the name and logo! Valley Fold is my new home for professional services… once I’ve finished the website. I’m not one for big splashy launches, I’ll probably just hit deploy and […]
After a multi-year detour wading through the quagmire of bloatware that is modern software I’m back to coding in Sublime Text. I am finally at peace! Do you know how relaxing it is without the daily “update available” and “view release notes” ritual? There is nothing I dread more than release notes. […]
I can’t take it anymore! If you want to speak to me, send an email. My contact form is out of service indefinitely. This is actually in lieu of moving my professional services to a yet to be announced limited company. But I can’t let opportunity for a dramatic blog post go to waste. […]
Back when I began freelancing I figured I’d set up a limited company eventually. I guess thirteen years later is eventually. I’ve finally got a local accountant working on company registration. Exciting times! The final push was this Making Tax Digital thing from GOV.UK. […]
When I redesigned my website earlier this year I removed dark mode. I never liked the colours, and the light switch toggle was so 2010’s. Personally I prefer reading with a dark theme for long-form content. Dark is not my brand though and I don’t believe every website needs to support colour scheme […]
When I’m not fighting WordPress I deliver static HTML or the occasional JavaScript framework integration. For personal projects I have ‘fun’ with my own static site generator. This week was a side quest (soon to be main quest) to build my new company website. […]
At the risk of pissing on people’s chips I figured it’d be helpful to illustrate the three classes of AI user I’ve identified in the slopageddon. You might be thinking: “Hey, those personas are all negative!” — and you’re absolutely right! Believe me, I’d love nothing more than to shut up about […]
1984, Minority Report, Black Mirror — bedtime stories compared to the horrors the UK Government publish, am I right? I’m led to believe “Watch this space” is the latest propaganda piece from His Majesty’s Nanny State. I haven’t read past the title but according to gaming site Dexerto, YouTube […]
I’m a front-end developer not a medical practitioner. If you’re bleeding IRL visit the hospital and stop googling medical issues! The full-bleed layout — as described there by Josh Comeau — can be done with CSS grid (and subgrid). Sometimes you can’t grid the entire page. […]
Today I’m introducing the next generation of code editor. A modern app to satiate the needs of the discerning coder. We’re talkin’ blazing fast collaboration between man and machine. Try out the demo below (for best experience: desktop Chrome, obvs). […]
This is an RSS-only post, thank you for subscribing :) If you’re only here for web and tech talk you can skip this one! I rescued an animal today! Probably… The UK has its fair share of canals. I like canals. They cut through urban life offering an escape back to nature and are teaming with […]
