Note archive: March, 2015

Had a lovely time swapping tunes with @TheBarryTone, fellow mandolin player at @AnEventApart Seattle.

Thoroughly enjoyed being the warm-up act for @JenSimmons at @AnEventApart Seattle.

I am but a John The Baptist to her Jesus Christ.

About to open up day two of @AnEventApart Seattle where I will be reiterating everything in http://alistapart.com/article/let-links-be-links

Getting worried that L. Ron @Monteiro is going to have the whole audience go Clear by the time he finishes his spiel at An Event Apart.

Make web pages.

Not too much.

Mostly HTML.

Sass, jQuery, Grunt, Yeoman …all tools to help you write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Tools change. The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript endures.

Heading off to Seattle for a week.

Seattleites, let me know of any fun events going on.

“The young in one another’s arms, birds in the trees—those dying generations—at their song, the salmon‐falls, the tempura-crowded seas…”

Today I had to set @PaulRobertLloyd straight: “tempura” is not a species of fish.

To be fair, it does sound like a kind of fish.

My other head—my website—is full of stuff that is valueless to others, but valuable to me …far too valuable to entrust to a 3rd party.

My website is my other head. It’s where I store some memories, fragments and half-formed notes-to-self.

Only now, on the 50th anniversary of his spacewalk, do I realise that that’s Alexey Leonov on the cover of the Afghan Whigs’ album 1965.

Just got a notification that I could look at my first picture on https://ohyeah.spum.org and my first thought was literally “oh yeah, that!”

Lá fhéile pádraig sona daoibh, a chairde!

Wondering what @Heilemann will make of my latest blog post.

Adding @RobGiampietro to my collective on @Huffduffer—he’s on a magnificent huffduffing spree.

Watching “How We Got To Now.”

There’s something about @StevenBJohnson that always reminds me of @Veen.

I think it’s the enthusiasm.

Da spring is sprung, da grass is riz, I wonder where da boidies is?

Da boid is on da wing.

Ain’t dat absoid? Da wing is on de boid!

Buying a copy of @Lara_Hogan’s “Designing For Performance” for the @Clearleft office.

I recommend you do likewise for your workplace.

The German word for that moment of pleasant realisation that there’s an unwatched episode of University Challenge on iPlayer.

In the Hop Poles, having a sneaky pint of Hophead and a bowl of cheesy chips ahead of this evening’s Tech In Ten rehearsals.

Rolling @schnarfed’s brilliant video-to-audio tool into the @Huffduffer bookmarklet.

Did some truly world-class procrastinating today.

You should come to IndieWebCamp Germany in May. It’s going to be fun.

Home is anywhere I plug in my USB-powered mug warmer.

I’ll be at another @68MiddleStreet event this evening — @ORGBrighton with @WendyG:

Had a blast at this evening’s @CodebarBrighton in @68MiddleStreet.

@WeSpringForward has commenced!

Sometimes I consider the explosive growth of computation and think that strong AI is a near-term inevitability.

Then I remember printers.
