I love my sit stand desk - the biggest annoyance is the height I have it when standing does not allow me to push my chair under due to how my chair is set up... Desk is about an inch too low for it to fit
Finished reading Sir Chris Hoy's book - All That Matters.
Highly recommend it to anyone

Rather than buying “things” I plan on having more “experiences” with my family moving forward.
Happy Christmas to those that celebrate 🎅
Online retailers should have an option at checkout -
"Discreet packaging - my partner works at home"
Am I missing a setting or something or does Apple Music not sync between iOS and MacOS - I want to be able to continue listening on either device
More than likely - but surely the same delivery person going to the same house on different occasions isn't efficient?
And, then if each of these houses has normal post a post person on foot will be by to deliver their "standard" mail...
Royal Mail delivery inefficiencies. A post person in a van delivered multiple parcels across the street, then up the street to deliver more, 2mins later they delivery another parcel across the street. 5mins later "another" post person, different van delivers a parcel next door to the first house.
image srcset and sizes is a guessing game with the browser. Trying to optimise images but then the browser also applies its own optimisations.
New one to me today - `ERR_BLOCKED_BY_ORB` when loading a CSS file from Cloudfront
Curious if other languages are seeing a shift to types? Why is there a mass shift in the JavaScript world to use TypeScript. Is the same happening in PHP, Ruby or other dynamic languages?

The Manual book, issue 1
Having a clear out and have a copy of The Manual if anyone wants? Free of charge - if you’d like to donate to a charity that would be even better
An infographic with three charts that represent the top six accessibility issues on the web according to the WebAIM Million Report. Low contrast of text, missing alternative text, missing form labels, empty links and buttons and missing document language.
For 6 years straight (and probably longer) the same 6 issues have been the top accessibility issues over the Web. We have a chance here to start making a difference, but we're all falling into the old habits. Old habits die hard, but collectively, we need to do better as a whole. Even myself.
Playing some vinyl over lunch, made me think. I don’t have many records, came to conclusion the reason being if I am going to listen to (buy) an album, every song needs to be enjoyable. Digital music system are so easy to skip tracks. What’s you favourite album?
Best commentators line today;
“As slow as a sloth at a day spa”
Been thinking and planning for year to have a solid oak worktop as a desk, finally ordered one today.
Looking at getting a large desk mat. Like the look and size of the Grovemade matte pad in Medium plus size.
Anyone have any other recommendations?
Box of an Galaxy A16 5g phone
Bought an Android phone for the sole purpose of debugging an issue with a new feature at work. Seems to only be replaceable on an actual device. Browserstack isn’t cutting it for this.
Switched from carpet to hard flooring in my office - do people use a protective mat under their office chair? I had one for carpet, not sure if to get one for my new floor
When working on an existing codebase that you know has accessibility issues. I find the best thing to do if accessibility is not prioritised is to ensure the areas you are touching with either a features or bug fix is ensure "we" don't continue the trend of adding to the issues, fix as you go...
